-
How can I do when the device cannot sign up or log in?
Please check the network on your phone and the account info is correct. If both those are checked but problem still happens, please contact customer support. -
Why the fault codes couldn’t be cleared, or just appears again after cleared?
-
When clearing codes, please refers to the actual situations to the fault. Usually there are sporadic codes and actual codes:
Sporadic codes: Normally this happens when the component works abnormally in some points, probably because of electromagnetic interference, vibration, poor contact with the wiring and so on. Those codes could be cleared directly.
Actual codes: This happens when there are components that are actually failed. Before clearing those codes, make sure that you have fixed the issue. If the fault lights are on again after clearing codes, that means the faults are not fully fixed – further inspections are needed in those cases. -
Why there is no lights shown on my dashboard but AD20 scanned that there are DTC codes present?
-
Not all the DTC codes will trigger the fault lights on the dashboard – the manufacturer will decide which fault will trigger the light and which don’t.
-
The ECU may still not fully decide if this is a fault yet. Maybe there are electromagnetic interference or vibration that misleads the ECU. Normally in those cases, the ECU will decide if this is an actual fault after running for several cycles.
-
Why there are fault lights on my car, but the Advancer cannot find any DTC codes?
Please make sure that the Advancer supports checking current fault codes:
AD20: OBDII Standard fault codes & Engine in-depth check AD20 Pro: OBDII Standard fault codes & All system in-depth check
e. g.: The ABS light turned on in the dashboard. AD20 cannot show the specific fault code but AD20 Pro can. -
Why the fault light turned on when doing diagnosis?
When performing diagnosis, some ECUs will get into diagnosis mode and corresponding fault light will turn on. The light will turn of automatically when the process is over and it is normal, please don’t worry.
