Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your LAUNCH CR3008 Plus, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/Communication Error:
  • Ensure your vehicle supports OBD2 protocols and has a standard 16-pin data connector. Check the compliance label under the hood for OBD certification.
  • Verify the vehicle's wiring and fuses for any short circuits.
  • Try connecting the scanner to another OBD2-compliant vehicle to determine if the communication error persists.
• Check Engine Light (MIL) Issues:
  • If the MIL is on, use the 'Read Codes' function to identify the specific DTCs. The scanner will help pinpoint the area to investigate.
  • If the engine is running erratically (stalling, poor acceleration, decreased fuel efficiency) even without the MIL, use 'Live Data Stream' to monitor parameters and identify values outside the normal range.
  • Remember, clearing codes only turns off the MIL; the underlying fault must be repaired to prevent the code from reappearing.
• Problemer med softwareopdateringer:
  • Ensure your computer's operating system is compatible (Windows XP, 7, 8, or 10).
  • Verify your internet connection is strong and stable during the update process.
  • Double-check that the serial number entered for registration is correct.
