Just select the pump actuator and turn the pump on from the tool. If you're doing a fuel pressure test no more need to click the key back and forth to active the pump.
set temp to 100%, make tach do a full sweep, etc). I can set anything on the cluster gauge for testing (i.e. Even my little 96 has an amazing number of things to actuate. It also has numerous actuators available for each module. Not only does it have access to generic ODB II stuff but it also has access to all the GM specific values. It claims to have nearly everything that the Tech II has and, honestly, I believe it. So I would recommend you take a look at this scanner if you have the $5000 odd to spend and it seems they have the back up to support you should you buy the tool.I've had my AutoEnginuity scan tool for a bit now and I can't say enough about how cool it is. The Rep told me they are working to write a scan program to properly access NAS Sprinters but they are very different unquote! Hmm ! My old mate in the UK's a words came flooding back through my head! Since the tool is really a Euro based program for Sprinter, I get Euro 6 E specs on the screen and no communication to the US spec system which is really given all the problems. Hooked to a 2013 906 Sprinter I went straight for the scanning area both you collectively and me have with resolving DEF/exhaust /engine control limp mode problems. Now listening with an aire of just venting his words actually made some sense when I tested this:. Always critical the USA, AND of MB USA AND Fed /Calif regulations in particular, he thinks as he says, saying recently "The Yanks and Yankee land have their collective heads up their backsides, they have to have a special vehicle just for them! The whole bloody thing is built just for them so they get the bastard child they deserve!
I have an old friend I used to work with in my old Leyland & Daf Truck days. Now yesterday in fact I tried out yet another Euro based scan tool and some revelations!īefore I go on its well worth a second look Even the dealers tech staff have issues with it, as many of you have found out to your frustration both mental and monetary! In fact for this level of vehicle it can be very difficult at times. Now when you get to the 906 (NVC3) stuff, communication within the vehicle is really quite poor in some instances. This really narrows the field and at that leaves only Snap On at accessible DIY level scanner company that runs regular three monthly courses and individual tech help on the latest and greatest ways us Techs and entry level people keep abreast of what going on!Įven me at close to 70 years of age still attend school to show my young sometimes smarty pants Top Guns I still have it! Some of you might even make mistakes and alter SCN coding and even by oversight leave the PCM in a limbo mode.īy buying a particular scan tool ask yourself is there any product support or platform tech help like Sprinter know how advice lines you can call on!
One thing to bear in mind is that most of you who DIY this stuff have NO MV training and limited product knowledge so most of what you will be doing is seat of the pants activities and along the way you will find ways of using not just the code reader portion but actually using the tool to access info, interpret info and maybe flash stuff (if the tool has pass through capabilities). So my advise is to steer clear of the stuff. Using a cloned/pirated MB programs, laptop and multiplexer I did get into many of the car platforms like C Class quite well! But Sprinter of any kind was a dead duck! The other reason is that it is cloned and in many cases huge bits of scan access are missing for many reasons. Main reason is that the Chinese do not have a good command of technical English and rely on using computer screens and short films with no sound to demonstrate loading and use of the equipment they sell. I would say that product support is very nigh ZERO. I have used them and purchased SOME items.
