⚠️ Important Notices & Limitations

1️⃣ Permanent fault codes & mechanical repairs: This tool cannot fix permanent codes caused by failed sensors, wiring damage, or mechanical issues. Always resolve physical faults before clearing codes.

2️⃣ OEM security locks: Factory security may restrict access to some encrypted ECUs (e.g., emissions, transmission). This tool may not access 100% of modules on every vehicle — normal for aftermarket tools.

3️⃣ No advanced services: This scanner only reads and clears codes. It does NOT perform DPF regen, injector coding, parameter changes, ECU reprogramming, or advanced resets.

💡 Pro tip: Use the 9‑pin Deutsch port for full system access. Ignition ON before connecting. For newer models, the OBD2 adapter provides additional coverage.
