In the stable cardboard box you will find the device itself as well as a mini-CD. The unit is packed in bubble wrap.
The device does not require batteries because it is the current drawn directly from the car battery when it is connected to the diagnostic socket. It is operated via just two buttons and is quite simple. The manual is not needed actually.
Actually, because although the manual is really short, reading is not harmful. Because the unit is ready to start immediately after connecting to the diagnostic socket and also tried a button also read out the memory. Then it aborts with the error message ERROR LINK. But who reads the manual states that you must first enable the vehicle ignition to connect the appliance.
If you heed this, the device is working properly and read the error codes from any problems. Even the deletion is done quickly and easily.
The error codes to write on and enters it into the search box the enclosed on the CD database software. There is a corresponding plain text display for example, we obtain "Lambda probe heater 2 Bank 1 heating control - Circuit Malfunction" for P0036 or "O2 sensor circuit of inactivity (Bank 1 Sensor 2)" for P0140.
By autodia scanner can therefore have a first make a rough picture of how serious the error is and whether you should fix it immediately, or if you can take your time.
Ease of use and a fair price make the autodia SX40 a real buy recommendation!
