Today's cars have considerably more systems that the scanner could find & interface with. Anyway, one of the systems it found was AB (Airbag). Guess it will diagnose an SRS issue and clear faults once corrected.
Device also indicates it will reset the onboard maintenance service system (FSS) when needed. Not worth buying just for that feature, but could be nice when the time comes. Won't avail itself to me for another year maybe.
Pictures attached.
Hi Dennis, would you like to be the forum guinea pig and test the SRS light (reset) when battery isn't disconnected correctly? OR, maybe your close to someone dealing with their air bag replacement gone wrong, with that light on, and the dealer wanting a bunch o bucks to reset it (with all their fund-raising activities LMAO)? You could maybe sneak over to their place and try a reset? Does this tool 'reset' the drive cycle monitors as well? I don't have that tool but have been wanting to upgrade for quite a while from my old Innova 3110 OBDII bought many many years ago). Might be time to place an email to the people who sell them (for the answer for the drive cycle 'reset'). Every time I 'service' the battery (clamps/posts) the ECU has all those monitors needing 'reset'.
