  • Hard cold start on diesel
  • Check engine light
  • Multiple U-codes

Typiska orsaker

  • Failed glow plug module
  • CAN wiring
  • Blown fuse
  • Low voltage

Vilken scanner behöver du?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

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
