Thanks for this educative video.I am from PNG,what is ur opinion on a Ottofix scanner?
Question on the subscription aspect of scan tools, is that for the unit to function OR to have the latest database to work from?
Thank you. I just ordered the unit today because a friend has one. Your tutorial is just what I need.🤩😍🥰
Your channel helped me decide to get mine, 2024. Going to try to make it last decades. I wish Mitsubishi wasn't getting rid of them, but I can be thankful they kept it going as long as they did. I'd buy a second if I could. A blogger called Mr Money Moustache had a great essay called Safety is an Expensive Illusion, I refer to it every time someone asks about safety. Puts the statistics into perspective.
How would you go finding out if the radio control module is bad in a 2014 Ford Fusion?
Ya right Eric, it's exactly like my autel. Great video!! 👍🏻🇨🇦
Do u have to pay xtra subscription for the immo programmer for keys and fobs?
I hope you can get your hands on the new harbor freight scan tool. I'm under the impression that it's a top of the line scan tool.
I might have to take a look at one, I have heard some good things about it
Which Scanner is a good one. I want to program key fob to. I heard bad things about Snap-on and Autel Scanner.
those cheap $40 - $100 aftermarket chinese / whereever axles generally are junk. If your axle is in good shape other than torn boots- I'd get the boot kit; boot, grease, clamps. I 'rebooted' both driver and passenger sides on my 2003 s60. Also replaced the tripod joint for the passenger side. The originals lasted me over 345K miles... and still going. Current mileage; 351K miles. Good luck everybody.
just getting to the process of learning all this knowledge. i must say this video was super concise and informative. thank you!
will this tool enable a 2011 vauxhall zafira b 1.7 cdti to relearn the suction control valve settings on the high pressure fuel pump ?
Where did you get that font bumper! It has a receiver hitch too? Badass!
it was Warn brand off of Amazon
5:22 how do you release drive shaft from gearbox ? Tried a pry bar but to small
Pry bar wedge it between the transmission and the axle, pop it with some quick force and it should pop out
When I was a kid we loved those magazines !!! I forgot about all those VW parts lol all those ring sets!! Fire in oil plugs !!We had a good time when we were kids!!
I think our childhood was way better then the kids today
I use a snap on verus. It's not fancy schmancy, but it works just fine
found this shows not equipped when it is and it wont access the module even when fault is showing using $15 scan tool and light on dash
How do you know if your cv axle is bad?
It will make a clicking noise on sharp turns or you will see the boot is torn and there is grease under the car
I"m doing this, taking copious notes from the video. Given how crucial keeping everything aligned is, wouldn't marking the gears and the BELT and then transferring those belt markings to the new belt be a fail safe way of doing it?
You could do that, but you run the risk of getting the belt marks off slightly and then getting confused when doing the job.
What’s the full name of the guy you referred to on UA-cam please 😀
Anything that smells good enuff to drink has to be good for my vehicle.
Minty fresh
Excellent, thank you!
You're very welcome!
I’m hoping this will work on my Chevy Cruze I’m trying to haul my jon boat it’s on a trailer so I hope this does work for mine
And how do I know what works for my car
They way that I figure it out is to go to Amazon for wiring harness, then filter by your vehicle. Not 100 perfect, but pretty accurate
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs what if it doesn’t have any trailer attachments like wiring and that stuff I looked it up on Amazon and I found something but it’s just a 7way trailer plug with junction box idk if that’s everything I need to get it working or not
Don't know if you are aware...but " Zeus " is an actual name of a demon from Hell.....does that make sense now ? yes it does....peace and love man ..great vid Jay.
Yes it does make it clear. Very clear
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs thanks for the kind reply....do these scan tools need an update at 2 years ? do they stop functioning if you do not ? and become useless ... thanks in advance ! Jay.
It's Fischer, I bought one too
good to know- thanks
Hi. I was wondering if you know the process of the key code erasure on a Highlander? Will I it delete all registered smart keys and will I be able to register the smart keys that I do have? That way I can eliminate the keys that were lost in the past.
Thank you for these videos and the prompt details. I bought a Launch Creader Elite 2.0 because it offers free updates. I have enough keys and Fobs i need to program that makes this device pay for itself. My 1st bidirectional tool and 1st time programming keys and fobs. Thank you for your time and i look forward to watching/learning more.
Buy a scan tool. Two days later you will find a better one you wish you had bought.
Get one that has a return policy= no regrets that way
If I buy the x7 hd can I use it on normal gas passenger vehicles also? I really am trying to get one that does diesel and gas because I work on both in the shop
i have the MK908Pii, LOVE this scanner and you can get a glass screen protector for it! seeing yours is pretty scratchy. $35 I have piece of mind if I drop it or anything I have that hope to save it still. just the updates are VERY pricey. keep Ebay in mind as i got a yr for 1/2 price. $685us
The screen protector is a great idea, it will keep the screen clean.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs i think I found mine on Ebay or Amazon. I dont remeber if it was for the MK908 but i looked at screen size and went with that and fits with in 1/8”
Here's the novel idea make every car manufacturer have a OBD scanner built into their dashboard and they're required to put it there so we can look and see what's wrong with their junk instead of having to buy a $400 scanner to look it up or take it to a mechanic and find out they fix things that there was nothing wrong with it these cars are so complicated this needs to be a must I push to have an OBD scanner built into every car so we can tell the real story of what fails on these things rather than work on trust with a mechanic and then the people that enjoy working on their cars would have some clue as to where to start with these complicated space shuttles with wheels I think that be a great idea but you'll never see it that would lose money for the manufacturers of the automobiles they never do it they're too much of a capitalist society that they exist Within
They can't do that because it makes sense. Many times you can go to advance auto and get the codes read for free
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs yes I have done that with the parts store here in town that loaned out their scanners with the idea that when you found out what was wrong you would return the scanner and buy the part from them then in itself was a good and a Humane thing to do for our fellow man instead of concentrating on how much money we can get from him thank you for commenting
2001 Ford f150 does not have the amber light or Two different lights.. bummer off to my 3rd kit
Sorry to hear that-
I have a 2011 Volvo S60 t6 - considering replacing the factory screen and entertainment system with an android 14 touch screen. Unfortunately that would lose access to the settings of the car on the built in touch screen. I am looking for a solution to access all the factory settings if I go this route. Would this scanner take care of all factory settings? I would also like to be able to program extra keys for my volvo and Honda 2018 crv. What do you recommend?
What asían brands does it cover?
Quite literally all of them, There are many different scan tools, but most of them cover the asian models
I have a Xtools D9 pro and it sucks really bad....slow to connect, tests that don't work that should, doesn't recognize modules that are there. I've since used a Launch x431 and it's way better!!! -regretful Xtools buyer
Thank you for sharing your opinion, it is sure to help another user out
Thanks for saving me from wasting gunpowder
Great informative video but I do have a question. I'm about to get a Ford Transit Connect XLT 2012. The seller tells me there's a small issue of that the car will slip in first gear but besides that the car works perfectly. He went on and had it checked out but the problem was they told him the transmission was fine or at some point they told him the transmission needed to be changed. So some person suggested to me a diagnostic tool of like the ones that you show. And to go into the diagnostic and clear the transmission data that should realign the transmission to work in the right way. Would you recommend getting one of these tools or just having someone who has one of these devices come and reset the vehicle? Help me Obi-Wan and thank you
I would not recommend purchasing that vehicle at all. Lots of times if you use a scan tool to realign the transmission can cause it to fail. If it starting to slip, that is a red flag. Do your self a favor and walk away from this one- you will be happier if you did. The car works "Perfectly" is your key word that there are issues.
I'm close to 90k and never done a transmission fluid change...should I drain it or give it 2 oil changes without fully draining it? Mine is a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage.
I would drop the pan, replace both filters, drive it about 5,000 miles, then drain and fill. That should get you all set
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Thanks
Thanks for the educative videos... am a kenyan i have been trying to set up such a garage but capital is an issue,hope one day this vision will come to fruition
Best advice I can give you- Follow your dreams. You don't need to have all the fancy tools and equipment to be a good mechanic. Start out slow and build your way up. Some of the best shops close to where I live and small and older, but they do great quality work, the fancy new places are the ones to watch out for, they are trying to make up all the money they spent buying all the stuff. Good Luck to you my friend
Good day mate. I'm looking to buy a used car in Europe. The problem is that most cars there have fake mileage. I don't know which car yet. If you can tell me which scanner ( which can I buy In Australia ) , can read the right mileage from the largest number of the cars. Thanks.
MOst of the mid level and pro level will show mileage based off the ECM. I am not sure how they are faking the mileage on the cars. It is highly illegal in the US, so I never looked too far on how they were doing it. I am sorry there are so many bad people out there who do stupid stuff like that. Good luck to you
What scanner should I buy to work on Toyota and Lexus Hybrid battery systems?
The Launch x431 Elite or ProS3+ would both be perfect for that kind of work. PS- I was a Toyota/Lexus tech back in the day, they are great cars
Get a Jetta or cabinet dash
I just can't bring myself to do it. The early MK1 (75-80) dashes are the best looking setup in my opinion.
Thanks
You are welcome
Check out the topdon brand, it cost 180 and does EVERYTHING
I have used some of there stuff before, they were decent for the price
I just looked into the Launch X431 Pro Elite on Amazon and "lightning deals" based on some comments here. I just saw a lot of unhappy people saying their units were used, have no support from Launch, the ones received don't support American vehicles (chinese region only), and the seller/tech support is in China. Reviewers say they like their Autel better. So many options, not enough reviews, too many bad reviews (as with most electronics nowadays).
I don't know where those comments come from, but I suspect it's from Launch's USA PR. I've owned several models now and had very few issues. When I do have an issue, I contact Kingbloen (the US distributor) and they always take care of me. US Launch costs 3x as much and offer exactly 0% more than the global version. my best guess is they are spamming global sellers to make them look like a bad pick.
I am in new Zealand.
Kingbloen.
I also etching my head to understand who is the genuine supplier and from which country. If you can please help.thanks
Kingbolen handles global sales.
Nice; I drive its younger brother, an 05 Tundra, but the NE winters is taking its toll on the frame/body and I'm saving my pennies for its inevitable replacement. I had been leaning towards another 1st gen Tundra but the T-100 has certainly peaked my interest.
I recently sold this one with almost 370k miles on it, I was sad to see it go, but it was time. I do miss the truck and some days wish I did not sell it.
i got the 1.2 engine and i gotta say that was a bitch to get the oil filter can in and or out, but luckily there was a starter shield under the can so non got onto the starter, but it also got heavily in the way and got a bunch of old oil everywhere getting it out.
They certainly put it in a tough spot! It also seems to get tighter with time.
Can it be used for odometer corrections?
Why would you do that, rolling back the odometer is illegal.
I don't know basically I just watched UA-cam and someone was showing odometer correction.
Can you add a key to VW and bmw and Audi too? Or just Toyota.
Some manufactures are a bit different on reprogramming and need a separate module to do so.
