AD500 and AD600S are TOPDON's mid-range handheld scanners — both go beyond engine codes into ABS, SRS, and transmission on supported platforms. The AD600S is the newer, upgraded tier with CAN-FD and expanded resets.
TOPDON AD500
Engine, ABS, SRS, and transmission scanning on supported models. Service resets include oil, SAS, TPMS, BMS battery registration, and EPB. Built-in battery voltage test, AutoVIN, and lifetime Wi-Fi updates. Strong choice for DIY maintainers who need multi-system access without bi-directional pricing.
TOPDON AD600S
Nine guided service reset functions, CAN-FD protocol support for newer vehicle networks, and upgraded diagnostics on supported platforms. Adds ABS bleed on compatible models and broader live data depth. Choose AD600S if you work on 2019+ vehicles or need the expanded reset list.
