Can this be used to reset the error (Removing engine light)?

This device can be used to reset the Engine lights for OBDII compliant cars. or most cars after 2000.

if the engine light is on there is something wrong like a censer,you can reset but it will come on again.

Yes, it will erase the code and reset the check engine light... I usually look up the code on the internet and see if it is something i can fix myself, or if it is something that is minor and will not affect how it runs etc.. some codes require that you have them looked at, especially if it acts up or quits, stalls etc.. however if you have a service engine light, this will not work for it.

YES That's the main reason I bought it and it works quick and easy.Plus you get a code book so you can sort out the real (needs fixed) codes from the nuisance (spend money) codes.

If you car is newer I would take it to the dealer. That is an issue that could cause serious injury, as you know. This tool will diagnose problems that have activated the check engine light. If your check engine light is not one then this will not find any trouble codes. The dealer would know more about what to do about the issue you are having.

The answer to that question is Yes, technically. The way older VW/Audi cars work is that once a code is thrown (and the light comes on) it has to be manually reset in order to remove it and turn the light off (i.e., simply fixing the issue will not automatically make the light go away on its own). That written, if there is a problem detected that results in the light coming on you cannot use this device to simply 'make the light go away' without addressing the problem.

No, this tool will not help you with your key. It only scans trouble codes and resets some (but not all) cars' oil service, airbag, and check engine lights.

This tool will reset the SRS code but... There are many things in the list that can cause this error. Since this is a safety issue I would at least look at what this tool can provide in assisting you with diagnostics. Many times the SRS light will turn on due to the clock spring wearing out. Quite common. But the tool will send error codes for what ever is wrong with the system. There are plenty of websites out there that will assist with decoding the trouble codes. Bobby is correct. If there is a bad part it will reset the light but a few miles down the road it will come back on.

My car doesn't need a tool for battery reset. Last I heard, the dealer had to do it. But you could go on the Bav Tech website and they can provide more info. It should do the oil light though. That was one of the reasons I got it for my car. Hope this helps.

Yes! Besides making the diagnosis, if there is any irregularity in the light panel can fix it. Works on most European and Asian cars yes.

yes download book from online and follow reprogramming directions... program reset/programming button is the red light indicator on your vehicle

the innova 3020 reads your vehicles computer and gives you a code if the check engine lite is on. Youcan turn the light off by the erase button. You can read the code on a computer and find the problem. Turning the lite off won't fix the vehicle.

It reset the service due light on 11 Audi a4 after the firmware update. It was much easier to do after the update, but could've be done (with some effort) before the firmware update.

Yes. I have a 2013 Dodge Dart and it scans the code and on some codes it'll tell you exactly what it is and it can clear the error as well

Yes! So long as your car is compatible with the machine (obd2), it'll clear the check engine light. If you don't fix the problem, the car will simply turn it back on when it runs the next diagnostic check.

This won't work for your car. You need 234-4011 for the upstream (between the cat and engine) and 234-4098 for the downstream (after the cat). I verified this information at densoautoparts,com. For removing it, the easiest way is to use a ratchet and a specialized socket you can buy on amazon for cheap. Search for Powerbuilt 648691, it's like 10 bucks. To reset your engine light, either wait until the sensors reset themselves by forgetting about it and just keep driving or you can buy an OBDII tool for about 50 bucks. A good option on amazon is Innova 3030 diagnostic scan tool. Hope that helps.

These scanners have a reset function which you can use any time they're plugged into the vehicle's OBD port. It wipes error codes from memory, returns the ecm/pcm to the computer's default program status and turns off the Check Engine Light (CEL) on the dash. The same thing happens when you disconnect the car's battery. Now, if you are referring to the scanner's battery being removed, it depends on the scanner, but generally the data you've recorded will be erased after a time (sometimes minutes, sometimes seconds). I checked the manual for the CP9580 and it doesn't specify. It's important to remember that resetting the ecm/pcm also erases the emission data from the ecm/pcm's memory. After reset, you'll need to drive the vehicle for a few miles in order for the emissions component tests to complete -- if you reset and then take your vehicle immediately for state inspection, thinking you're now safe because you cleared the CEL, the vehicle will FAIL because the IM readiness monitors haven't been completed yet.

You can take it to a pep boys or advance auto and they can specify which sensor has failed. No charge. They have hand held devices. On my Tundra there are three possibilities.

It can tell you which sensor triggered the light. Resetting the light cannot be done by the tool; that's either add air(steady light) or replace the sensor ( flashing light ) good luck , cheers

yes to both questions, just write down what the error is so you can tell your mechanic
