The Jobs That Used To Need A Dealer Visit
Reading codes is the easy part. The reason people buy a full system scanner is the service functions: the resets, calibrations, registrations and bleeds that a parts store code reader cannot do and a dealer charges an hour of labor for. Each guide below explains one of them: what the warning on your dash means, what the function actually does, how long it takes with the UCAN-II Pro, and when it is not the fix.
SBC Brake Counter Reset
C249F, C2498 and the "Brake, visit workshop" message on the W211 E Class, W219 CLS and R230 SL. Reset the counter at home.
Airmatic Ride Height Calibration
"Airmatic malfunction" and "vehicle too low". Set ride height and relearn level sensors after a strut or compressor job.
AdBlue Countdown Reset
"Starts remaining" on a BlueTEC diesel. Reset the DEF countdown before it refuses to start.
Diesel Injector Coding
Enter IMA and IQA codes after replacing injectors so the engine idles smoothly and stops smoking.
Battery Registration
Skip registration and the new battery gets charged like the old one. Register it yourself in a few minutes.
Electronic Parking Brake Service Mode
Retract the rear calipers to change pads on cars with an electronic parking brake, then reset.
ABS Brake Bleed
Spongy pedal after a brake job? Cycle the ABS pump and valves to push out the air a normal bleed cannot reach.
Forced DPF Regeneration
Limp mode with a loaded particulate filter. Run a forced regeneration without the dealer, and know when it will not help.
Transmission Adaptation Reset
Harsh shifts or flaring after a fluid service or valve body job. Reset the adaptations and let the transmission relearn.
Check Your Car Before You Buy
Every function above depends on the make, model and year. Use the coverage checker with your VIN or year, make and model, or call 1-888-959-4265 and a technician will tell you plainly whether the UCAN-II Pro does the job on your car. If it does not, we will say so.
One Scanner Does All Of It
The UCAN-II Pro is a full system bidirectional scanner with lifetime free updates, a 31 day return window and a 1 year warranty, sold and supported from Towson, Maryland.
