Vilken scanner behöver du?

Basic OBD2 code reader (engine codes, live data, smog readiness)

Använd live-data och freeze frame innan du byter delar. ABS-, SRS- och U-koder kräver oftast en fullsystems-scanner.

Diagnostiktips

  • Spara freeze frame när koden först sätts
  • Rensa koden först efter att orsaken är åtgärdad
  • Kontrollera relaterade väntande koder
  • Verifiera batterispänning över 12,4 V innan du misstänker sensorer
