Can you RESET codes/issues with this scanner? Such as the EPC light on a Jetta?

Yes! With MaxScan VAG scanner will reset all your Jetta error codes, but remember resetting the code does not fix the problem.

I don't know about a Jetta but it worked fine reading and resetting the codes on our 1995 Eurovan. We needed an adaptor to connect the serial cable to the 2 pin connectors in the van but otherwise no problems. I carry it in the van all the time as we occasionaly get an exhaust leak fault which turns on the check engine light. I can check the fault and reset the check engine light in just a few minutes. A lot easier than trying to get to a garage.

Yes, it should since the codes are stored in the ECM. The only thing this code reader cannot reset, is the TCM.

are you sure you replaced the senor that was not working? I used onstar to diagnose my problem then looked up the code they gave me on Google to identify if it was the driver side or the passenger side sensor that was malfunctioning.

Hello if it uses H4 bulb is shoud work,but I think that the Jetta uses HB1 9004.

You have to look for the keyhles/indentations on the side of your radio. I watched a video youtube and I have a 98 Passat. I only needed two of the keys for my radio. It worked perfectly and the serial number and model number was on the side of my radio. I called the dealer and had my code in 30 minutes. From what I understand the dealership has to give you the radio code free of charge, but if you take it in the cost can vary. Mine would have been at least $75.00, I spent 9.99 for the key set and it was here in less than a week. Good luck

U have to find out what sensor does u car use. I own a sti 08 and it use schrader 315 mhz. And yes u need to program those sensor after the replacement. I own a scanner from snap on and i work as a mechanic so it didnt trouble me at all. U have to be careful when u buying those sensors, some of them come 415mhz and some come with 315mhz thats the frequency that the sensor use to communicate with the control unit. Putting the wrong frequency sensor on the wheel it will not communicate and u gonna have the toc ligth on the dash all the time

Altho I haven't used this scanner to reset engine codes, the literature says that it will.If it doesn't, it is still a nice unit and very helpful.JM2C

Don't have that information, I am coming up on my time do do that in the next few months after Toyota care so I will have to find out myself too. I have a diagnostic tool that can decode them but I am not sure if it clears the car code after the diagnostic is completed

Same here. Its a simple install. Plug and screw in. If you try to reset the DTC it will only come back on. Bosch o2 sensors fixed the issue. Don't know what the deal is with these. Some kind of defect I think.

Couldnt program. Dealer did it for me, but all for not, fob back to same thing, did not last. Yhe reason is because the chrome metal disc that are glued to the fob pad comes off and moves around. Its back to unlocking my car, trunk and starting it up on its own.

It will also work as a generic OBD II code scanner. So if you are looking for a generic reader this would do it. But you won't be able to reset Honda specific warnings or service intervals.

Yes! Besides making the diagnosis, if there is any irregularity in the light panel can fix it. Works on most European and Asian cars yes.

I know you definitely can reset any error light.. I'm pretty sure you can diagnose any issue as well.. This thing is much more advanced than your standard issues OBD tool. Check out the link http://www.bavariantechnic.com/

If the MAF is giving you a check light on the dash from being dirty than yes I would disconnect to reset the ECU. Other than that it depends on the make and model whether it's recommended. Disconnecting could never hurt though.

It's an OBD2 scanner, should be compatible with all cars built since 1996. Once you get the code then just Google the error code to get the full details.

The scanner has the ability to be powered in more ways than one. I can only assume at the moment that you rely on the power directly from the connection to the car via the cable and plug in adapter. Have you tried to power it using the Power Adapter supplied with the scanner? Give it a try if you have not already. Obviously, if it still does not work you will need to contact the supplier and return it for an exchange.

Dear John, We returned this item because we took it to the VW Dealership that does the work on our Jetta and they said the system was NOT an OEM as advertised, but rather "Made in China". VW would NOT install and recommended we go to a 3rd Party Installer and that the Dealership would not insttall, maintain and/or repair this unit as they only work on TRUE OEM Equipment. LCLC

Hi, I do not know if it would work on your Audi. However, when this occurs in any of my two VWs and a Toyota I do the following: Press and hold the right button. (odometer reset) now switch on the ignition (oil lamp will not flash, but on at all times) press the right button again (insp is now displayed) pull left button. (clock set) (------ are now displayed) Pull left button again If not, go to youtube and they may have a reset. Good luck.
