Troubleshooting

AutoVIN does not identify the vehicle

Try manual vehicle selection and update the scanner first. AutoVIN availability varies by model and ECU.

A service or active-test function is missing

Functions are vehicle- and ECU-specific. A function listed for the scanner family may not be exposed by every model or model year.

A fault returns after clearing

Record relevant freeze-frame and live data first. Persistent active faults need diagnosis and repair rather than repeated clearing.

Product and upgrade

Technical information is based on iCarsoft’s current product documentation and official user manual.
