I have a 2012 BMW X1 Diesel. Can I use this tool to reset new battery, oil meter etc?

My car doesn't need a tool for battery reset. Last I heard, the dealer had to do it. But you could go on the Bav Tech website and they can provide more info. It should do the oil light though. That was one of the reasons I got it for my car. Hope this helps.

This device can be used to reset the Engine lights for OBDII compliant cars. or most cars after 2000.

I just disconnect the battery for 30 seconds then reconnect. This will reset the vehicle computer.

I bought the unit specifically for a BMW x5 Diesel so I wouldn't have to drill and hardwire the controller. Works great!

You can try it, worse case just send it back, but I don't think it will work. Maybe you could see if you can mount it on your meter. It's a very helpful tool.

if your vehicle is fitted with the standard 16 pin plug i cannot see why you should have a problem. my friend has a bmw and he is also very happy that his 3160b tester could identify his vehicles problems and that he could reset the vehicles computer.

This tool will program a new set of sensors to the vehicle. Just to be sure you are considering the correct tool, what is your year, make and model?

It should work fine as both vehicles are ODB II emission control systems. You need to find the diagnostics port that they plug into when you have your car emission tested. Then just follow the directions they are faily straight forward. This tool WILL NOT however reset factory oil service light indicators that usually is something you can talk the ealer into doing. Hope this helps.David

The scanner will read and reset all PXXXX codes. If you have a PXXXX code stored in the BMW PCM, this scanner will work.

Absolutely NOT! The voltage on battery tools must be the same as must the configuration of the physical battery. 12 volt battery for a 12 volt tool; 18 volt battery for a 18 volt tool; 20 volt battery for a 20 volt tool; etc., etc., etc. Use the wrong voltage and the tool will not run or if higher could simply burn out.

I don't think so, unless you had a tune on the truck before it lost the tpm, if you did and you returned it to stock tune then it should reset it.

Yes, this would be an excellent use for this tool. Be sure to check a known power source such as a receptacle to ensure the tester is working properly.

Yes! I own and operate a automotive shop and one particular day i jumped off 4 weak batteries on cars and trucks and one was a diesel! Highly recomend this neat little jumper!

I bought this to work on my wife's 04 Volvo XC70. Works great on that vehicle. I have an 04 BMW 325Ci & this tool does not work on that car.The filter housing design is different. This will not work. Purchase the tool specific for your car. The price is about the same.

Yes you can, and also record the voltage that the battery contains. Although this unit is meant to do much more than that, and there are other less expensive multi-meters or battery testers that can give that type of information.

Yes it will. The hour meter is hooked to the 12v ignition "RUN" lug on the ignition switch. It don't care if it's burning Diesel, gas or corn squeezins. Hope this helps! GREAT METER I just love the thing ran it a full season, no problems and goes really nice with my Teleflex Eclipse gages which are black housings and blue lettering. It would go with any color really as the lettering in the meter is white.
