The VD500 scanner provides lifetime free software updates for to fix the latest bugs or add new parameters.
VD500 scanner is able to detects nearly ALL systems , includes engine, ABS Brake System，Airbags, Auto Transmission Gearbox, Auto Air Condition HVAC, Center Lock System, Climate control, immobiizer, Throttle Adaptation and soon.
1.Engine System
Quickly determine the cause of the Engine System, and turn off the warning light. It also retrieves current, permanent, and pending codes in the vehicle engine system, What's more, it also shows critical OBD II standard extended data, such as fuel, emissions data, and other real-time manufacturer-specific parameters in the engine system for making sure it works correctly and safely.
2.Transmission System
If you notice the following: transmission slipping, rough shifts, delayed engagement, fluid leak or transmission warning, then your car may need to be maintained. You can use VD500 to do a series of diagnostics and pinpoint the problem area for repair.
3.SRS(Airbag) System
When the SRS (Safety Restraint System) light is on, it means that the Airbag Control Unit sees an issue in the system. The system is subsequently disabled and the airbags will not deploy in the event of an accident. You can use VD500 to check if there is a malfunction in the SRS system and get it fixed. It is very important that airbags are functioning properly at all times.
4.ABS System
When you see the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) light is on, you know it's serious. VD500 can help. Just use it to identify what has gone wrong by plugging in the unit to your 16-pin port (normally under your steering wheel). You can make a determination what could be the causes of the error: low brake fluid, a blown fuse, or abnormal signals from wheel sensors.
5TPMS System
If the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) light is illuminated, it means your tires could be underinflated, which can lead to undue tire wear and possible tire failure. VD500 can read codes on the TPMS system to identify possible problems including a bad sensor or underinflation and clear them when a solution is found.
6.SAS System
The steering angle sensor (SAS) is a critical part of the ESC system that measures the steering wheel position angle and rate of turn. SAS is very important for the safety of the driver and the passenger alike. When the SAS light is on, you can use VD500 to read error codes. Once a problem is fixed, you can use VD500 to recalibrate and clear the codes.
7.ESP System
Electronic Stability Program (also Electronic Stability Control) can improve a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction (skidding). When ESP detects a loss of steering control, please check the ESP light and get a code reading before you do anything about it. It can help you to minimize potential losses, both monetary and in terms of human life.
8.Battery System
The battery light (a light in the shape of a battery symbol) indicates a battery charging problem. If the battery light comes on and stays on while you are driving, the most common cause is a broken alternator belt. You can use VD500 to read the fault code and clear it when the problem is located.
9.Immobilizer System
The immobilizer warning light turns on if your anti-theft system does not recognize the car key being used, or if it's the wrong key or low on battery. The engine may start and run for a few seconds before dying or the engine may not even crank up at all. VD500 can assist you by reading error codes associated with the above-mentioned symptoms.
Oil Service Reset
Changing oil is probably the most important part of routine maintenance for any vehicle. An oil change consists of removing old oil from a vehicle's engine and replacing it with fresh oil. The engine oil filter is usually also changed at the same time. VD500 code reader can reset your oil service to complete this important maintenance.
TPS Replacement Reset
If these problems occurs: engine stalling or misfiring, poor engine performance, lack of power, transmission shifting incorrectly, chances are that you need to get the throttle position sensor (TPS) inspected. After that, the trouble codes will need to be cleared. VD500 can clear codes and reset the TPS.
Electrical Park Brake (EPB) Reset
EPB (Electric Parking Brake) is a technology that applies parking brake via electronic control. VD500 is an essential tool required to release rear electric parking brake unit when replacing rear pads or discs so that the caliper piston can be moved back. It can also clear codes and the EPB light when the replacement is done.
