The ANCEL FX3000 OBD2 scanner is a professional diagnostic tool for four systems (engine, transmission, SRS and ABS). It adds 5 special reset functions based on all FX2000 functions, including ABS reset, oil reset, EPB reset, BMS reset and SAS reset. If you value an OBD2 scanner, the ANCEL FX3000 offers comprehensive features in a consumer-friendly package. If you repair a variety of vehicles, the FX3000 offers the versatility to manage many of the diagnostic trouble codes ( DTCs ) from most major manufacturers. Despite its extensive features, DIY car enthusiasts will find the intuitive interface easy to use to complete repairs quickly.

5 Specific Systems Reset Solutions

Oil Light Reset

This diagnostic tool allows you to reset the engine oil life system, which calculates an optimal oil change interval based on the driving conditions and climate in the vehicle. However, make sure you reset the engine oil life to 100% after each oil change. It helps you save time and money when changing oil.

Steering Angle Sensor(SAS) Calibration

If the ESC (electronic stability control) light comes on, it can diagnose and allow you to reset the SAS after an alignment has been performed or parts have been replaced in the steering system. The steering angle sensor fault memory is automatically cleared when the SAS calibration is complete to ensure the ESC module is working properly.

Electric Parking Brake(EPB) Reset

FX3000 is used to release the rear electric parking brake when replacing the rear pads or discs to allow the calliper piston to move back. It can also clear codes and turn off the EPB light when the replacement is complete. This allows you to easily switch between service mode and Operation mode and perform repairs to your brake system yourself.

Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) Reset/Auto Bleed

If the ABS indicator light comes on in your vehicle and needs to be reset, FX3000 can determine the cause of the antilock indicator light coming on, read the fault codes, clear them and reset them. If it tells you what parts need to be replaced on the brakes, you can reset the brake indicator after the replacement or repair. Note: The automatic bleeding procedure is used on vehicles with a brake pump.

Battery Registration

If the battery is aged or damaged, you must replace and register the new battery. Registering the battery replacement is necessary to tell the energy management system (software in the engine electronics and intelligent battery sensor) that a new battery has been installed in the vehicle. FX3000 can help you reset the vehicle battery to clear the fault information and register the new battery again after battery replacement at ECU.

Engine System: FX3000 helps you read fault codes and displays the DTC definition to tell you what the problem is and clear the fault, turn off the MIL ( Malfunction Indicator Light ). It also allows you to view the live data stream to quickly and easily find the cause of an engine system fault before sending your vehicle to a workshop. This saves you time and money.

Transmission System: When the automatic transmission warning light is on, the FX3000 code reader accesses and communicates with the transmission to tell you the operating status of the sensors, read the fault, turn off the warning light and read the live data stream so you know exactly what is wrong with the transmission system.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS): FX3000 is able to retrieve ABS fault codes and tell you where the problem is by visually inspecting all brake components, then clearing the codes. It also allows you to monitor and diagnose the operating conditions of the ABS to ensure repairs are effective and complete.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS): It is a non-negligible signal that the SRS light is on, which means that the safety system is not working 100% and maybe the airbag is disabled. This scanner can check the faults and clear the codes, display real-time live data to monitor the SRS status, and turn off the warning light (CAN NOT reset the SRS module).

FAQs

• Q: What is the difference between the fx2000 and the fx3000?

A: The ANCEL FX3000 is equipped with 5 advanced functions: EPB replacement, SAS calibration, oil repair, ABS reset and battery registration, but FX2000 is not.

• Q: Why Should You Read Out the Fault Memory with a Car Code Reader?

A: The error or fault memory is part of the complex system of interconnected computers that every modern car has. It records mechanical and electronic defects and malfunctions as they are detected. Reading the error memory regularly can help you foresee potential problems at an early stage and avoid them.

• Q: What is battery registration and how it works?

A: Over the lifetime of a battery, the battery sensor automatically adjusts the charging behavior to the state of your battery. Use Carly to register a new battery after changing the battery.
