Car Talk / 2001 GU Patrol (Y61) Going Into Limp Home Mode, Solved With Foxwell NT624 by lanrce(f): 4:55am On Jul 21, 2016
Below post starts with car model 2001 GU Patrol (Y61) symptom that car kept going into limp home mode, then recommended to have one Foxwell AutoMaster Pro NT624 scanner to solved. How this story goes? Go on reading following parts. Hope it helps.



Car model: 2001 GU Patrol (Y61) with a 4.8 lt petrol



Symptoms:

My car kept going into limp home mode and i could not drive it (well).



Scan Tool to use:

Foxwell AutoMaster Pro Series tools: [url]http://www.foxwelltool.com/wholesale/automaster-pro-nt624-full-system-scanner.html

[/url]





I use AutoMaster Pro NT624 to check ECU and read out fault code as below:

PO134 H02S1 (B1) – Heated O2 Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1

P1122 ETC FUNCTION/CRC – Throttle Body Actuation -Electronic Traction Control

P1123 ETC Mot RLY/CRC – Electronic Traction Control – Motor Relay



After cleared the fault code, I got the left code:

P1122 ETC FUNCTION/CRC – Throttle Body Actuation -Electronic Traction Control



Then I have a quick check of the live data for the Throttle Body motor, when graphed against the Throttle Position Sensor, revealed that the throttle body motor was in-fact intermittently faulty. Causing a correlation error -Throttle position sensor not accurately reflecting the a accelerator position sensor.



Then I decided to do a quick check on the fault code:



PO134 H02S1 (B1) – Heated O2 Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 1



As this would take a drive cycle (potentially) to reset. We naviaged to the live data for the both O2 Sensors and graphed them together. With O2 Sensors, the general rule of thumb is to see them switch between rich and lean (0.1 -ish- and 0.9 -ish- Volts) around 8 times over 10 seconds at 2000 rpm. Watching each O2 sensor signal I counted the crosses (switching between 0.1 – 0.9) and found that wile the bank 2 (rear) sensor was crossing around 5 times (a lazy sensor) the bank 1 (front) was struggling to make 3 crosses. Both sensors where more often on the lean side. So although not technically a current fault, I was suggested to also replace my O2 sensors as they are both currently lazy -one more so than the other- and likely to need replacement in the future.

Car Talk / Diagnosing And Coding Bmw E31 E38 Using Foxwell Nt510 Scanner by lanrce(f): 4:35am On Jul 19, 2016
I found this Foxwell NT510 scanner chart that shows the specific function per BMW model which is helpful. foxwellshop has NT510 scanner for $179, but I found it on ECS for $199. Seems pretty reasonable for all the readout capability and the coding it claims. Plus you can buy additional software (only $70USD) for one of other manufacturers (Including AU FORD, BMW, Chrysler, Fiat, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Holden, Land Rover, OPEL, Toyota and VAG) as well. One another thing to consider about this tool is that the software updates for it are free for the first 18 months only, and after that only the cost of updates is only 60USD.
product from here:[url]http://www.foxwelltool.com/wholesale/nt510-multi-system-scanner-with-one-fre-car-brand-software-and-obd.html
[/url]
I have to use for my BMW E31 and E38. I can speak to ease of use and functionality.
As you can see below chart is Foxwell NT510 Scanner workable function on BMW E31.





Here I list some I tested for your reference.
BMW E31 especially early are going to be very limited on features. This isn't due to the tools or software used, it's just the DMEs don't have the echo commands to provide all the detailed data.
Electronic parking brake reset, SRS reset, and service intervals are the "big 3" packages that our tool has.

As for coding injectors after replacement with Foxwell NT510, it's an accessible option in the menu list... I haven't tried it because my injectors are fine but there's a long list of menus in fuel injection you can mess with. Injector replacement and adaptations were in there and you could access it.

Foxwell NT510 can read out manufacturer specific codes. Most handheld tuners that will also pull codes only pull the basic P codes, not your BMW specific code lines. Now don't get me wrong P codes are very useful, they'll send you down the right path (most of the time), but manufacturer specific codes are going to tell you what door to open.

Foxwell unit is a standalone tool, no need for a laptop, this can be a positive or negative depending on the style tool you like to use. If you're use to a GUI interface on a laptop going to a scan tool style interface will take some getting use to.
Going by a quick look once Foxwell releases the coding update the tools look to have very similar functions. Also no VIN lock on the foxwell scan tool, use it on as many cars as you'd like.

In conclusion:
Foxwelltool extended us an evaluation copy of this unit and I was really impressed with it. The various functions remind me of the vaunted VAG-COM system we've used in Volkswagen & Audi for years. Such a simple and affordable scanner is really a plus for this platform.

Car Talk / How 04 Bmw E46 325xi Do Diy Diagnose Using Foxwell Nt510 Scanner by lanrce(f): 8:37am On Jul 16, 2016
Below post starts with BMW 2004 BMW 3 series E46 325xi need a simply handheld diagnostic tool to diagnose any potential issues (used by DIYer), then Foxwell Multi-system NT510 scanner is used, how it step - by - step to do, reading following parts for details.



Car model and year:

2004 BMW 3 series E46 325xi_M54_SAL USA_LHD

with miles 190K on the dashboard.



I want a diagnostic scanner to do:

I wanted to be able to diagnose any potential issues on the fly and do as many DIY fixes myself as possible.

I'm not the type of person looking for a tool in order to code or dive into the vehicle ECU.



This diagnostic scanner to use:

Handheld Foxwell NT510 multi-system scanner (No need additional computer)

The price point for this item was just right $179 free shipping and according to foxwellshop.com, I am allowed to add manufacturers to the device in the near future (i.e.; AU FORD, BMW, Chrysler, Fiat, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Holden, Land Rover, OPEL, Toyota and VAG) and the price is only $70 for each manufacture.



Foxwell NT510 scanner comes with following items:

1*NT510 Multi-System Scan Tool

1*User Guide

1*Memory Card

1*USB Cable

1*CD Software

1*Nylon Carry Pouch



Step - by -step procedure:

At begining, I plugged into the OBDII port (The unit will power-up as soon as it's plugged in) then the start-up screen show as below, I got four options:

1) OBDII

2) Manufacturer Specific

3) Setup or Settings

4) Playback for previously saved data

The device is handheld so easy to use and set-up is pretty self explanatory. I use the arrow buttons and enter/back buttons to cycle through the scanner.





Select the OBDII function, it'll immediately have an auto-scan of your vehicle for any DTC. As you can see below, my scan came back with no codes found.





After Foxwell NT510 scanner finish the scan and you press OK, it'll take you to the 'Diagnostic Menu'. Here you will be able to view in-depth descriptions of any codes that may have popped up and save and/or erase them.





If you select the vehicle specific option, you will cycle though a handful of menus until you come to your correct make & model, e.g BMW 3 series E46, 325xi_M54_SAL, version: USA_LHD, Model year:2003-09








After you've choosed your exact vehicle model, you will have four categories to choose from;

1) Maintenance

2) Drive

3) Chassis

4) Body





Maintenance Function




Drive Function





Chassis Function




Body Function








Done.



In conclusion, I thought the price of $179 was very reasonable, and it comes with pretty healthy documentation, has factory support.

Autos / Best Brithday Present From My Wife,the Best Cost-effective OBDII Scanner by lanrce(f): 4:32am On Jul 11, 2016
i got a brithday present from my wife ,thanks for her.
Its a Foxwell NT630. It has been successfully clear the SRS light and malfunction warning on 2002 Mercedes Benz CLK320 I induced the warning light back several days ago when I decided to replace a couple of stepper (never again!) motors so I knew that I wasn't looking for a hard fault. confirm that this unit did it and it was pretty straight forward to use. No other faults picked up on the car so I can't comment any further on its performance. Foxwell NT630is supposed to support most vehicles up to 2013 and compatible with both OBDI and OBDII cars, SUVs, minivans, light-duty trucks sold worldwide. So hopefully I'm future proofed for a few years. $179 cheaper than ebay, I will have chance to use it on other vehicle models. Foxwell NT630 is claimed to be compatible with most vehicles from America, Asia and .Europe, if you are a professional technician, it can’t be more suitable.

Car Talk / Foxwell Automaster NT644 Feedback Yes Or No by lanrce(f): 9:34am On Jul 08, 2016
This post collects foxwellshop customers’ feedback on Foxwell AutoMaster NT644 multi-brand full-system scanner test reports Yes or NO on the specific models and function. And for some NT644 fail to do, NT510 and GT80 can do, go on reading for details.

EPB function on 2012 year Porsche -yes
2014 Isuzu mux lst diesel 12V, Australian – No.

DPF regeneration on Mitsubishi pajero 2008 7 seats, engine: diesel 3200 engine type: V98W (this brand is called shogun/montero instead of pajero) - yes

Cover abs and airbag one one Australian ford and Toyota hybrid Camry - yes (Tip: the workable year is different from one model to other; it covers up to 2015 year).

Own a 2004 Chevy 2500HD 8.1L and a 2006 VW Passat 2.0T, the best option is NT500 scanner, and it covers all the function of NT500. Get one NT510 scanner with one car model software for free and another one software for 60USD. NT644 compare with NT510: NT644 scanner cannot cover all function of NT500, there are two functions NT644 not support SAS and Bi-directional control tests.

I have a 2010 BMW 335d, 2003 Volvo S40, 2012 Volvo S60, 2004 BMW Z4 2.5L, 2004 Ford Ranger 4.0L and a 1998 Toyota Rav4.
To reset Battery configuration on the BMW 335d, I use foxwell NT4021
To diagnose, I use foxwell AutoMaster NT644.
However NT4021 and NT644 not meet all my demands, I got one Foxwell GT80 $1,200 free shipping (Compared with GT80 Plus, GT80 has no internal battery and with different appearance). I used it to reset Battery configuration on the BMW 335d, Air Bag code reading/reset on 2003 Volvo S40, to read/reset more than just the P codes, to cover ABS, to reset service reminders on the BMWs and Volvos, to close window from key fob.

What the similarities and differences among NT510, NT624, NT644 and NT414?
Foxwell NT510 function is same as GT80Plus and GT80, it support few car models like 1. Chrysler/GM/Honda, Acura/Hyundai,Kia/Toyota,Lexus, Sicon/Land Rover, Jaguar/OPEL, Vauxhall/VW, AUDI, Seat, Skoda/BMW/Fiat. E.G. Nt510 can be used for BMW bleeding the brakes and also for actuation of the abs pump, also code a new battery in the car. And for simple BMW diagnostic NT510 is the best.
NT510 is one model for free and other models need to pay.
NT624 is full-system diagnosis for full car makes, but its diagnostic function is not as powerful as NT510.
NT644 is NT624+Special function
NT414 can diagnose four system for all makes.
Where to get AutoMaster Pro NT644?
Directly bought from the authorized dealer at www.foxwellshop.com, it is available with 18months free update online, after 18months the update cost is 100USD/ year at foxwelltech site and sometimes it is on sale for a lower price. The update will not turn back to Chinese script. one year warranty.
AutoMaster Pro NT644 will service all cars and only $499 free shipping or a lower price at:

This post collect all of Foxwell GT80 / GT80 Plus questions and engineer answers from foxwellshop customers, hope it enlighten others who are interested in this tool. BTW, Foxwell GT80 and GT80 Plus share the same function and vehicle coverage, the only difference is GT80 is built in with battery and with a different case at a half price.

this is our product link:[url]http://www.foxwelltool.com/wholesale/gt80-plus-diagnostic-platform.html

FOXWELL-GT80-Plus-OBDI-OBDII-Wireless-Auto-Car-Code-Scanner-Buit-in-WIFI-Car-Diagnostic-Scan.jpg_640x640

Questions about function:

Question:

The gt-80 plus have tpms program functions?? also its capable to update by itself via interner and foxwell have oscilloscope feature or tools for sale?

Answer: Foxwell GT80 has the function of TPMS programming, but only program TPMS ECU to indentify new sensor, it can’t program blank sensor. GT80 has oscilloscope feature and tools for sale in foxwellshop.com.



Question:

I have a 2010 BMW 335d, 2003 Volvo S40, 2012 Volvo S60, 2004 BMW Z4 2.5L, 2004 Ford Ranger 4.0L and a 1998 Toyota Rav4.

I have to replace the battery on the BMW 335d so the ability to reset Battery configuration is a must have feature.

The 2003 Volvo S40's Air Bag light is on, so Air Bag code reading/reset is also a plus feature.



I'd also like to be able to read/reset more than just the P codes. (Multi-system diagnosis?)

ABS would also be nice to have.

And the ability to reset service reminders on the BMWs and Volvos.

I also understand that some of your scan tools allow for changing settings such as "close window from key fob"

I am more than just a backyard mechanic, but I'm not a professional mechanic.

I have looked at your NT510, NT644, NT1001 and NT4021 and am not sure exactly which one would best fit my shopping list.

Answer: recommend you choose GT80 Plus, this machine can realize the function you need.

http://www.foxwelltool.com/wholesale/gt80-next-generation-diagnostic-platform.html

$1,200 free shipping worldwide.

If you consider this tool not reasonable at price, recommend you Foxwell NT4021 for for battery configuration and Foxwell NT644 for diagnose.



Question: I am looking for a scan tool that will do OBD2, CAN, TPMS, and SRS what do you recommend?

What about NT301?

Answer:Foxwell GT80 Next is ok, also NT510 is ok too.

Question: Which one of Foxwell scanner is built in with wifi or Bluetooth?

Answer: for diagnostic scanner, only GT80 is built in with WIFI. For others, CRD700 and DPT701 is built in with WIFI, and it can connect to the computer via the extra WIFI, then test the common rail pressure and print data via the APP on the computer. BT-705 Battery Analyzer is built in with Bluetooth, you are able to install Bluetooth and print data.



Question: Foxwell GT80 plus (or GT80): If the different languages with different functions?

Answer: same function with different language, usually GT80 is available with English + one local language. You are not suggested change language from one to another and then to another too frequently, foxwell tech is able to help you although, you are supposed to update before use.



GT80 is built in with battery and GT80 plus is not

Q: I need to cancel the order for the GT80. Sorry, my customer didn't realise there is no internal battery fitted , only GT80 plus has battery. Very sorry for this.

A: No problem, i have issue you refund via paypal, please check.

Answer: 18-Month Free Updates. After free update period, update cost is 500USD/year. well before releasing. You can upgradeGT80 Plus online in future to get the Ferrari car model.



Fail======

Question: the GT80 Plus diagnostic platform can cover Ferrari? Please advise.

Answer: Ferrari is under testing now, we estimate to release it within half month to one month, must test it



Question:

Q: Specific question regarding the e46 M3's. Is the GT80 Plus capable of coding an SMG car to a manual? We currently have an Autologic, which is considerably more expensive than the GT80, but it has problems 50% of the time accomplishing this task without issue. I would be interested in moving to your product if it is as capable as the Autologic and can handle the smg to manual conversion without problem.

A: Sorry GT80 not support BMW E46 this function.

Car Talk / How To Solve Foxwell NT510 Scanner On 2002 GM C1500"the Adress Wasn't Understood by lanrce(f): 7:23am On Jul 05, 2016
I received Foxwell NT510 at Jun 28 from http://www.foxwelltool.com/to work on a 2002 GM C1500. It did not come with the GM software installed, since I specified GM for my included 1 free vehicle make. I was asked to register on Foxwelltech.com website and download the program, my Serial number is NV516040XXXXX.
After successfully registered, I find nothing more. When I select the GM software and attempt to install, the website prompts me to click "here" to install a client, which fails to work. I've included a screen sh ot and the result of clicking on the "here" prompt.
I have attempted with both windows 7 and windows 10

foxwell-nr510-gm
foxwell-nt510-



Then, their engineer help set my serial number combine with GM program and then I just need update the device by following update procedure:
http://www.foxwelltool.com/upload/pro/201601/foxscanner_update_guide_en-v1.00.pdf

Finally, I figured it out...GM software is loaded. The OBD2 scanner works well. All other features work
Therefore, I think Foxwell NT510 is worth to have one although there are also a little bug, as long as the customer service response fast and help fix it up.

Car Talk / How To Run MB Star XENTRY DAS On Macbook Air by lanrce(f): 7:15am On Jul 05, 2016
This is a user experience of running the entire suite of Mercedes-Benz sd connect c4 software XENTRY / DAS on a Macbook air.

“I have an unused Airbook from 2010 running snow leopard as op sys and equipped as usual with a 112 GB solid state disc, a WIFI and one USB port to the external world. Of course, it is based on the Intel platform.As I love these light and beautifully designed machines, I was thinking about using it for something else then letting it accumulate dust in a drawer. DAS/Xentry came to mind and I spent a weekend to get it up and running.

I needed three attempts:
First attempt: Update of the machine to the new mountain lion op sys. Then I ran Bootcamp to partition the disc into 40Gb for the Mac and approx. 70 Gb for Windows. I used Refit to get a comfortable dual boot manager. During installation I realised that the newest version of Bootcamp (part of mountain lion) only supports Win7 and upwards. Thus I continued with Win7 and as the effort to get Xentry running under Win7 was too big and I progressed too slowly, I experimented with Win7 and VMWare running Xentry in a virtual XP machine. This turned out to be too slow for my taste but it is probably a reasonable option for a more powerful Mcbook Pro. Someone in the forum has a similar thing with Xentry/DAS 11/2012 but on win xp thru Parallels desktop on my Macbook Pro and had same error HHTwin.ini but carried on. Then successfully installing WIS 11/2012 and EPC 8/2012 without any problems. And it’s said that his DAS worked well with mercedes w202 cdi220 by SD connect c4 (lan connection).
Second attempt: I loaded the older snow leopard as op sys because its Bootcamp version supports Win XP. I made a dual boot with XP, using Refit again, and started to install DAS/Xentry. I encountered limitations by the single USB port and worked around with an external USB-Hub to have an external DVD drive, a dual button mouse (more comfortable to use under XP than the trackpad) and a USB stick connected at the same time. Problem here was that the USB port was somehow overloaded and hung up twice. I abandoned this as well and applied the big gun.
Third attempt: I went for a XP-only installation, applied the special Mac drivers after the first boot into XP and installed DAS/Xentry 11.2012 (the only offline scn coding/programming version without issues) according to the SKdrasher script but with some modifications.

Like in my PC installations I skipped his step 6 (VBoxService installation). On a PC, I always get two error messages while installing the first of the two DVD's. The first one (no .....getspdir file or similar text) I ignore and a bit later another error would come up saying '...cannot create .../../HHTwin.ini file'. Before acknowledging this error I create a HHTWin dir at the location given in the error message and then I 'yes' to continue the installation. Maybe this is known to experts, I figured it out by coincidence. Without creating the HHTWin, the installation process automatically installs Xentry as well. Creating the subdir, the installation follows exactly the skdrasher script and needs the extra step for Xentry installation.

Now I have a very stylish and compact machine when I work around my cars. Next weekend I will install EPC (electronic parts catalogue) and SD media.”

Car Talk / VAG Scanner Foxwell Nt500 Good Or Bad? by lanrce(f): 7:14am On Jun 28, 2016
Foxwell NT500 is professional VAG scanner, support VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda sold worldwide from 1996.
NT500 Support UDS protocol.
NT500 Compatible with global OBDII/EOBD cars, SUVs, minivans,light-duty trucks.

Here's Foxwell NT500 VAG Scanner Review.
1.Q:I own an Audi A5 Registration: FL12 UFW. I lost fluid in my break reservoir and tired to bleed the breaks only to find I've got a soft pedal. I believe air is trapped in the EBS valve, will your scanner, named above, cycle my EBS pump.
A:YES,NT500 support cycle your EBS Pump.

2.It does everything i need it to do at the moment. I actually work for Volkswagen, I do all the really complicated stuff with our diagnostic equipment. With the quick stuff, well, it’s actually quicker than our diagnostic computer. It’s all good.
--by Aaron

3.Excellent tool, NT500 meets all my need, really good for my car 2008 VW Touareg V6 TDI,recommend! thanks for your serivce!
-- by Richard

4.Q:HI~
what if i told you i had a picaso ?
I need a scanner that code the injectors on the vw caddy can you advise?
A:You can check NT500 for VW vehicle, detail i need check with engineer.

5.Q:I have a 2015 vw golf mk 7 tdi. ea288 Is this scanner capable of activating the lift fuel pump in the tank?
thanks
A:Yes, can do that function.

6.Q:I have to change the AT fluid and want to know if the NT500 will measure the temperature that is listed under Ross-Tech Control module/ 02 Auto trans control module/measuring block 8 (transmission fluid temp). This is their roadmap. You may be different.
A:Yes, it can measure the temperature of the ATF.

7.Only used this reader once and did not have any problem, so I can not say much about it. It did seem pretty easy to use.
--by Luken

8.Used the first time in my 2012 skoda and found the problem. Very easy to use nice little code reader.
--by Lexis

9.I'm an Audi tech and was amazed at all it can do for the price.
-- by Kuckunniwi

10.It's definitely handy for keeping plugged in and data logging too. You can just keep it in your lap. Or what I found even easier was to run the cable over the steering column and away from the pedals and just set it in the passenger seat. There's plenty of cable length!
--by Manco

11. I really like that it offers so many real time measuring blocks. I mean I could check just about everything. Live ignition timing, misfire counters, throttle position, coolant inlet/outlet temp, Injector duty, wastegate/N75 duty, Exhaust temp.. just to list a few.
--by Maiele

12.It's really quick to plug in and retrieve information. I keep it handy and plug it in whenever I'm interested in something. Like you said, it's very easy just to pull over, plug it in, start logging, and stick it in the door pocket.
-- by Istaqa

13.I've done a little successful coding with things such as turning off automatic door locking.good!!
--by Zulekha

14.these foxwell units are great little gadgets! They have a lot of the same capabilities as VCDS. I haven't gotten to explore all of the functions yet, but I will say if you are in the market for a scan tool this is by far the best one out there.
-- by Rayvon

15.Just bought the Foxwell tool from foxwellshop and used it on my new B7 for the seat belt chime and it worked like a charm. Nice not having to get a laptop every time I want to check something out
-- by Motavato

16.I had use it to check engine light on my Toyota Camry 2001. I did a little research and found out that a computer scanner called an OBD II can be used as a diagnostic tool for most cars on the road
-- by Charsian

17.Works well and it is very simple - once you get through the confusing instruction booklet. An OBD scanner should be the first tool for the home mechanic.
--by Braylin

18.Q:Hi I have been received the package it looks good,and i have some questions
Does it show show actual vs requested values? Like say for boost?
A:Here are some screen shots

From the Saved data... Engine speed is 3840RPM. Looks right for APR Stage 1

Not sure if the sample rate is different than VCDS. I haven't looked to see if it can be changed depending on the channel. I believe it is faster for live data and graph view, but is slower for saving. It may also be limited to 256 samples.

19.Q:It does logging also? What can't it do compared to VDCS?
A:It does log data and you can view live graphs while recording,I do not know all that VCDS can do, but the more I find, the less the gap seems to be.

20.Awesome, I really recommend this to everyone. It saves you money and when used with your specific car repair manual you can be your own mechanic and do it yourself!!!
--by Chevy

21.It will scan and read diagnostic codes for any OBDII auto, but does not have the extended editing capabilities for all.
-- by Lysergik

22.I just received mine today. Seems very comprehensive
I was able to scan my airbag codes and figure out my problem. You can save scan info to the provided SD card. I was able to then search the Web for some further explanation and some DIY help.

In short, it appears to do what it says quite well.

-- by cpaugh

23.One use and it's paid for when compared to the hassle and expense of taking the car to the shop. Also prevents fraud since you can tell the shop what is wrong.
--by Brittany

24.Easy to use, fast, and accurate. Still use this thing when the occasion pops up where I need it. Great tool.
-- by Paul

25.i can't believe how simplistic this device is compared to the high end scanners and it just works.
fast deliver!!! very very good !!!
--by Juana

26.Good!!!!No need to go to Auto zone any longer for diagnostic testing on my vehicle.
--by Acelynn

27.I just to find them simple and correct,that's all I need.This is a straightforward tool that gets the job done
--by Hashim

28. works great read the codes so i could fix the problem ,,unlike others where they give all kinds of bullSh......
--by Malcolm

29.It’s really good. It does everything i need it to do at the moment. I actually work for Volkswagen, I do all the really complicated stuff with our diagnostic equipment. With the quick stuff, well, it’s actually quicker than our diagnostic computer. It’s all good.

Autos / A Nice VAG Scanner Disable The Seat Belt Chime On My 2008 A4 by lanrce(f): 7:07am On Jun 10, 2016
I bought my Foxwell NT500 on foxwelltool with US$159, which was recommended by a friend on forum. I received a package with NT500 VAG Scan tool, memory card, USB and diagnostic cable, nylon carry pouch and user’s guide.

I was able to scan my airbag codes and figure out my problem. You could save scan info to the provided SD card. Then I searched the Web for some further explanation and some DIY help. In short, it appeared to do what it said quite well.


I just did a little more investigation after that and found that the NT500 appears to be capable of all of those functions (coding, adjusting headlights, taillight brightness, key fob tricks, system diagnostics, etc.) except for maybe the ability to update the software part. The adaptation functions covered documented and undocumented settings. The documented settings gave an explanation of the parameter and suggested values. Again, I had no experience with the PC versions, but so far it was very promising. I would try to get some screen shots.

Thus I did quick coding example to disable the seat belt chime on my 2008 A4. Here was the display:

Autos / ABS Warning Light Illuminated by lanrce(f): 4:49am On Jun 07, 2016
Foxwell NT630 ABS Diagnosis for V8 Ford Falcon
Issues: ABS warning light illuminated
ABS brakes not operating
Reason:
Because of the safety of functional and safe brake operation, the ABS Module (and the SRS Module) does a self test by supplying voltages to each pin and measuring the voltage (the short version) on its corresponding return pin. In an instance when the voltage is not within its specified parameters -IE. Too High, Too Low, Missing, The ABS module then determines the relevant fault and deactivates the ABS system and illuminated the ABS warning light, which happens during each key cycle. This is why the light illuminates when the key turns on.
Operation
1 navigate to the diagnostic menu of BA ford falcon, and obtain the fault code “C1155 LHF Wheel Speed Sensor”
2 turn the ignition on. After the self test of ABS module, reset the fault code.
3 graph the left and right front wheel sensors from the live data menu with NT630.(The output of the LHF wheel speed sensor was flat line at the time of driving.
4 find the sensor is in fact open circuited after get access to the wheel speed sensor and a quick resistance.
