•Engine SystemQuickly identify the cause of issues in the engine system and turn off the warning light. The scanner retrieves current, permanent, and pending codes, as well as critical OBD II standard extended data such as fuel and emissions data. It also provides real-time manufacturer-specific parameters, ensuring the engine operates correctly and safely.
•SRS (Airbag)When the SRS (Safety Restraint System) light is illuminated, it indicates a potential malfunction in the airbag system. If the airbags are disabled, they will not deploy during an accident. The VD500 helps check for malfunctions in the SRS system so they can be fixed promptly, ensuring airbags are always operational.
•TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)An illuminated TPMS light indicates that one or more tires may be underinflated, which can lead to excessive tire wear or failure. The VD500 reads TPMS system codes to identify issues such as faulty sensors or low tire pressure and clears the codes once the issue is resolved.
•ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)If the ABS warning light is on, it signifies a serious issue. By plugging the VD500 into the 16-pin port (usually under the steering wheel), you can diagnose problems such as low brake fluid, a blown fuse, or abnormal signals from wheel sensors.
•Transmission SystemSigns of transmission problems include slipping, rough shifting, delayed engagement, fluid leaks, or a transmission warning light. The VD500 performs diagnostics to pinpoint the problem, helping you identify the necessary repairs.
•SAS (Steering Angle Sensor)The steering angle sensor (SAS) is essential for the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, as it measures the steering wheel's position and turning rate. If the SAS warning light is on, the VD500 can read error codes and recalibrate the sensor once the issue is resolved, ensuring driver and passenger safety.
•ESP System (Electronic Stability Program)The ESP (or Electronic Stability Control) system enhances vehicle stability by detecting and minimizing skidding. If the ESP light is illuminated, use the VD500 to read error codes and identify the issue, reducing potential risks to safety and finances.
•Battery SystemA battery warning light indicates a charging problem, commonly caused by a broken alternator belt. The VD500 can read fault codes related to the battery and clear them once the issue is resolved.
•Immobilizer SystemThe immobilizer warning light turns on if the anti-theft system fails to recognize the car key, detects an incorrect key, or identifies a low battery in the key. This may result in the engine starting and stopping immediately or failing to crank. The VD500 reads error codes linked to these symptoms, assisting in resolving the issue.
