TOPDON Bidirectional Scan Tool, ArtiDiag900 Lite Automotive Diagnostic Tool for Full System, Scanner for Car with Active Test, FCA AutoAuth, Wireless OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool for All Vehicles

I got this as a replacement for a soon to be obsolete Snap On scanner. I think this Artidiag900 Lite is a great piece of kit for the cost. It has features that are normally only found on the top tier VCIs. The comprehensive list of technical service bulletins taken from the original vehicle manufacturers is extremely handy, and has already provided some information that prevented me from making a repair using a part that had been superceeded. The fault code library is also very helpful. Not only does it give descriptions of what fault codes mean, it also details the most common causes of the faults and the order in which components should be checked based on their probability of being the cause of the fault. The built in warning lights lookup not only gives descriptions of what the warning lights mean, but it also explains how the systems work, what symptoms you may experience if the light is lit, and what effects it may have on you or the operation of the vehicle. This is one of the most useful features of this tool, as it accurately describes each of the systems in such a way that makes it easy to understand how they work. Like any diagnosis, you need to know how something works before you can undertake proper repairs. If like me you work on a large selection of vehicles from various manufacturers, you will know that the location of the OBD plug can sometimes be a bit of a mystery. The Artidiag900 Lite gets around this issue by providing a specific section highlighting the location of OBD plugs in virtually every vehicle. It uses pictures to show exact locations, which again is a time saving feature normally only found on more top end devices. For me the most useful feature of this scanner is its bluetooth capability. Most VCIs come with short cables that restrict your ability to fully test components on your own. For example if I need to feel a relay, actuator or component to see if reacts to the bi-directional control requests, I am able to do this without having to rely on someone else or listen for the clicks of components. You can hold the scanner in one hand* and feel the component with the other. * If I was to highlight something that I wasn't particularly keen on, it would be the angle of the hand grips on the rear of the device. A more square profile would make single handed operation more comfortable. Scanning vehicles is also a simple task. The Topdon intuitive and quick. It also is one of the few scanners that will detect every single module that a vehicle could be or is fitted with, and if the vehicle is fitted with a module the Topdon will communicate with it. Yes the Artidiag900 Lite isn't the top model, so in some cases it will only read and clear codes within certain modules, but this is still more than some more expensive scanners will do. I think that this scanner is an example of how things should go when it comes to VCIs. Not only is it a tool for diagnosing faults, but it's a learning tool that can teach amateurs (and even some of the pros) the basics about systems, fault diagnosis and diagnostic processes. As far as scan tools go, this is definitely one of the better ones at this price point. In fairness with the features found on it I would expect it to be priced higher than it actually is. The eight special functions are the most common, such as DPF resets/regenerations, BMS resets (adding new stop/start batteries) or bleeding ABS systems. Again all features that could allow an amateur or enthusiast to enact complete repairs without having to farm the job out. Already the Artidiag900 Lite has proven to be a worthwhile investment. The live data graphs (with overlay), or PID lists that can be easily adjusted to view only the data you want to view make diagnosing faults a lot easier. This scanner will do a lot more than other similarly marketed VCIs. It's hard to ignore it at this price point considering it's comprehensive vehicle coverage, technical databases and general diagnostic/bi-directional features.

Before I purchased this, I had been running handheld scanners of all types. Always wanting a bidirectional, but unwilling to part with thousands of dollars. Received the item quickly. It comes in a nice protective case with all included cables and documents. First thing I used it on was my DD Silverado that I’d been having strange electrical issues on for a few years now. Plugged in the device, it synched up with the tablet quickly, read the vin in about five seconds (reads newer vehicles quicker), and started the scan. All told it took less than five minutes to roll through the 28 different tests on my truck. Was able to pick up the interface and using the device quickly, pulled three extra dtc’s my old scanner never saw. Ran live data, and saw that cylinders 2,4,6, were all misfiring, and found out it was due to a new O2 sensor that had decided to quit. Was able to monitor my 5v sensors and see that my ect sensor was getting intermittent voltage. Literally took less than 30 min with this device to trace down what had been nagging me for a couple of years. It runs android iOS, has chrome for a browser. Once it is connected to WiFi everything is seamless, any question I had while using it were all easily answered through the systems help function. It has a cameras for scanning vins, plenty of storage. It’s just a great tool. I rarely am happy about anything I receive any more, always seems like I am reduced to just dealing with a products shortcomings. This unit is bidirectional, so you can run individual system tests to determine failure. There is so much more it can do, I still haven’t even cracked the surface of its capabilities. Got it on sale $150 off. Even at full price it would still have been cheaper than the three other scanners I’ve had over the years, plus throwing parts at what I thought the problem may be. Zero complaints. Worth every penny. Anyone who works vehicles more than they want to would benefit from this greatly.

Cet article est top! Tout comme le nom de la marque...😁 Bref, sérieusement c'est un outil complet pour diagnostiquer la santé d'un odb de voiture !! Même les plus récalcitrants ne pourront rien vous cacher ! L'ayant testé sur différentes gammes de véhicules du plus vieux à ceux d'aujourd'hui, je sais tout !!! Attention toutefois à ne pas modifier les paramètres "profond" sans connaissance pointue ! Dès que possible, je posterai des photos et une vidéo de présentation !

Nice unit, works as promised, relatively easy to use, updates quickly,
