As some tuners said this tool will just guide you , you have to know how your vehicle works to slove the problem.
As a DIY you will have to use it in conjunction with the vehicle service manual ( not owner manual ).
Also research , read , etc their are many articles that shows how to use the data from these tools.
If you know nothing on EFI cars , first thing is to take a course on efi servicing... UTT has such a course parttime in charipachina senior comp.
Then get your service manual and understand it carefully.
You should know how to use some basic mechanic tools and to use a basic meter to test for voltage , resistance and open/ short circuits.
Then get your scan tool , the problem is buying off the net is risky since the tool may not work on our local vehicles,and most companies down here tend to sell for the pros which is very expensive ie over $ 15,000.00.
Their a guy in bamboo that sells for the DIY or pros , he will
check it on your vehicle first to see if it works.
For the DIY price is between $800.00 - $ 1500.00
I got a autel maxiscan 609.
Worked on my car a local cy 2010 1.5L lancer. ( No problems communication with engine ECU )
But the ABS section does not work since my car is not listed and hence no commmunication
with ABS ECU.
However it does not work with my other car a local cs3 2005 1.6L lancer.
Apprantly autel do not support maxiscan anymore since it is not shown on their webpage
and they have not responded to my emails.
