This is invaluable for diagnosing intermittent issues and observing real-time vehicle performance. Furthermore, the device allows for data export in CSV format. This feature is particularly useful for detailed analysis, record-keeping, and sharing diagnostic reports with customers or fellow technicians.
Comprehensive 4-System Diagnostics & Full OBD2 Functionality
The D5S provides diagnostic access to the four core vehicle systems:
- Transmission System: Diagnoses issues within the automatic or manual transmission.
- ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): Troubleshoots problems within the anti-lock braking system.
- SRS (Supplemental Restraint System): Scans and diagnoses the airbag and seatbelt systems.
- Engine System: Performs comprehensive engine diagnostics.
- EPB (Electronic Parking Brake): Diagnoses electronic parking brake system faults.
It’s important to note that some modern vehicles integrate systems like ABS and EPB, or Engine and Transmission. In these cases, the XTOOL D5S OBD2 Scanner might read the integrated system as one entity, which is a normal characteristic of such vehicle architectures and does not limit the tool’s diagnostic effectiveness. Beyond these systems, the XTOOL D5S OBD2 Scanner supports all 10 OBD2 modes. These comprehensive OBD2 functions include reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), viewing live data, accessing freeze frame data, performing O2 sensor tests, conducting component testing, running on-board monitor tests, and retrieving vehicle information (VIN).
