Top Reasons to Choose The THINKCAR THINKSCAN MAX
It gives information about the vehicle such as vehicle specifications, recalls, etc. Ensure you pass an emissions test with I/M readiness, O2 sensors, and smog tests. Freeze frame data give you a clear insight into where the problem is occurring.
- Wireless Connection, Bluetooth Diagnosis
Many traditional diagnostic scan tools are equipped with diagnostic cables and you have to connect the car scanner with the OBDII port via cable during the diagnosis, which limits the diagnostic distance within 1m. While thinktool mini offers wireless connector, making it convenient and efficient during the work. - Optional Bi-direction Tests & ECU Coding
Bi-direction Tests: Test whether the actuator is normal: turn on the radiator fan, adjust the throttle, open/close windows, operate the rearview mirror, turn on/off the lights, turn on/off the horn, etc.
ECU Coding: Carry out the customer’s personalized customization of the car, such as setting alarms, door locks and outdoor lighting, etc. to improve car performance or upgrade to high-end car functions (for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, etc.). - Share & Print the Diagnosis Report
What differentiates this device from others is the repair report which takes error codes, interprets them, and actually shows you possible causes and potential fixes. You can share and print the diagnosis report.
28 Hot Maintenance Functions
- Oil Maintenance Reset: gives you the ability to detect how long your vehicle will last after newly replaced oil as well as shutting off the light.
- IMMO Reset: with anti-theft matching, you no longer have to worry about the high costs of lost keys.
- ABS Bleeding: When the ABS contains air, the ABS bleeding function must be performed to bleed the brake system to restore ABS brake sensitivity. lf the ABS computer,ABS pump, brake master cylinder, brake cylinder, brake line, or brake fluid is replaced, the ABS bleeding function must be performed to bleed the ABS.
- EPB: Remind you to reset the brake pad, especially if you have replaced it.
- DPF: Help you clear the blockage in the DPF filter, to meet emission standards.
- Battery Matching: Reset a battery after you have replaced it.
- Throttle Matching: After replacing the ECU, throttle matching is required.
- Injector Matching: Usually after replacing the fuel injector, it is necessary to confirm or recode the fuel nozzle of each cylinder.
- Steering Angle Reset: To reset the steering angle, first find the relative zero point position for the car to drive in straight line.Taking this position as reference, the ECU can calculate the accurate angle for left and right steering.After replacing the steering angle position sensor, replacing steering mechanical parts (such as steering gearbox, steering column, end tie rod, steering knuckle), performing four-wheel alignment, or recovering car body, you must reset the steering angle.
- Break-pad Reset: If the brake pad wears the brake pad sense line, the brake pad sense line sends a signal sense line to the on-board computer to replace the brake pad.After replacing the brake pad, you must reset the brake pad.Otherwise, the car alarms.
- Gear Learning: The crankshaft position sensor learns crankshaft gear machining tolerance and saves to the computer to more accurately diagnose engine misfires. lf gear learning is not performed for a car equipped with Delphi engine, the MlL turns on after the engine is started.The diagnostic device detects the DTC P1336’gear not learned’. In this case, you must use the diagnostic device to perform gear learning for the car.After gear learning is successful, the MIL turns off. After the engine ECU, crankshaft position sensor, or crankshaft flywheel is replaced, or the DTC ‘gear not learned” is present, gear learning must be performed.
- TPMS Reset: After the tire pressure MIL turns on and maintenance is performed, the tire pressure resetting function must be performed to reset tire pressure and turn off the tire pressure MIL.Tire pressure resetting must be performed after maintenance is performed in the following cases: tire pressure is too low, tire leaks, tire pressure monitoring device is replaced or installed, tire is replaced, tire pressure sensor is damaged,and tire is replaced for the car with tire pressure monitoring function.
- Suspension Matching: This function can adjust the height of the body. When replacing the body height sensor in the air suspension system, or control module or when the vehicle level is incorrect, you need to perform this function to adjust the body height sensor for level calibration.
- AFS Reset: This feature is used to initialize the adaptive headlamp system.According to the ambient light intensity, the adaptive headlamp system may decide whether to automatically turn on the headlamps, and timely adjust the headlamp lighting angle while monitoring the vehicle speed and body posture.
- A/T Learning: This function can complete the gearbox self-learning to improve gear shifting quality. When the gearbox is disassembled or repaired (after some of the car battery is powered off), it will lead to shift delay or impact problem. In this case, this function needs to be done so that the gearbox can automatically compensate according to the driving conditions so as to achieve more comfortable and better shift quality.
- Sunroof Initialization: This function can set the sunroof lock off, closed when it rains,sliding / tilting sunroof memory function,temperature threshold outside the car etc.
- EGR Adaption: This function is used to learn the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve after it is cleaned or replaced.
