Cause tipiche

  • Low battery voltage during cranking
  • Internal module failure

Quale scanner ti serve?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Usa dati live e freeze frame prima di sostituire componenti. I codici ABS, SRS e U richiedono spesso uno scanner mult sistema.

Consigli diagnostici

  • Registra il freeze frame quando il codice compare la prima volta
  • Cancella il codice solo dopo aver risolto la causa
  • Controlla i codici pending correlati
  • Verifica che la batteria sia sopra 12,4 V prima di sospettare un sensore
