Description: While basic scan tools can read and clear the most common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), an All Module Scan takes vehicle diagnostics to the next level by scanning every system that the manufacturer allows. These may include the engine control unit (ECU), transmission control module (TCM), anti-lock brake system (ABS), airbag system (SRS), and many others.
Benefits of an All Module Scan:
1. Comprehensive Diagnostics: Unlike basic scan tools that only read the engine control module, an All Module Scan diagnoses a wide range of systems such as ABS/Traction Control, TPMS, SRS, Body Control Module, Transmission, HVAC, and more.
2. Customization: You have the flexibility to select specific modules for scanning, saving time by avoiding a full scan if you are only interested in certain systems.
3. In-Depth Information: The All Module Scan not only identifies the issue but also provides a brief description, allowing you to understand the problem better.
4. Clearing Codes: Once the issue has been addressed, you can use the tool to erase the codes, resetting the system and turning off warning lights.
5. Enhanced Decision Making: Knowing exactly what is wrong allows you to make informed decisions, whether you're fixing the issue yourself or taking the vehicle to a repair shop.
Use Case:
Let's say you're facing multiple issues with your car - the air conditioning isn't working well, the car seems to hesitate while shifting gears, and the TPMS light is on. Instead of taking multiple trips to the repair shop or spending hours with a basic scan tool, you can use an Innova scanner with the All Module Scan feature.
1. Scan All Systems: Run a complete All Module Scan to get a comprehensive list of codes across all systems.
2. Get Definitions: Look at specific codes for each module and understand what they mean.
3. Erase Codes: After fixing the issues or replacing the faulty parts, erase the codes to turn off the warning lights.
4. Use the RS2 App: With Innova’s RS2 app, you c an get a list of required replacement parts and even schedule a repair appointment through RepairPal.
By using the All Module Scan, you save time, money, and the hassle of visiting multiple shops for different issues, making it a convenient and efficient solution for vehicle diagnostics and repair.
