ABS and SRS System Diagnostic Capabilities

ABS System Diagnosis

Diagnosing ABS issues begins with a visual inspection of brake components, followed by retrieving ABS fault codes to pinpoint the problem—precisely what this scanner delivers.

SRS Airbag System Diagnosis

The Safety Restraint System (SRS), comprising impact sensors, a control module, and airbags, can be thoroughly evaluated using this tool to verify the health status of all electronic parameters.

Full 10-Mode OBD2 Functionality

1. Reading Codes: Displays detailed descriptions of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
2. Erasing Codes & Reset: Turns off the Check engine Light (MIL), clears DTCs, and resets monitors.
3. Data Stream: Reads and displays live ECU/PCM data, plots graphical waveforms, and stores freeze frame data.
4. I/M Readiness Status: Indicates whether emissions-related systems are functioning correctly and ready for inspection.
5. Live Data Stream: Presents real-time vehicle data in live graphic (waveform) format.
6. Freeze Frame Data: Retrieves vehicle conditions recorded by the on-board computer at the moment an emission-related fault occurred.
7. O2 Sensor Test: Accesses and displays results from the most recent O2 sensor monitor tests stored in the vehicle’s computer.
8. On-Board Monitor Test: Retrieves and shows test results for emission-related powertrain components and systems.
9. Vehicle Information: Displays key identifiers such as VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), CID (Calibration ID), and CVN (Calibration Verification Number).
10. Component Test: Sends commands to actuate specific vehicle components to test their operational status.
