Why choose the FX2000 OBD2 Scnaner?

The FX2000 OBD2 scanner is ideal for those new to car maintenance and diagnostics. It does not present the data in an overwhelming way, but makes it easy for a layman to get familiar with diagnosing car problems. That is why it is especially suitable for home users.

However, for those who have more experience with DIY cars (e.g. professional mechanics), the FX2000 is a useful, time-saving tool that can help you find the cause of vehicle problems without manual labour. The information and data are provided in an easy to read and understand format.

With the help of FX2000, the vehicle system is able to detect fault codes and monitor its own condition. The large TFT screen gives you access to OBD2/EOBD protocol diagnostics, the manufacturer-specific scan, and the review option (which shows you previously recorded data). The scan tool has manufacturer-specific data for over 60 vehicle brands listed in an easy-to-read scroll list. Once you select the vehicle brand, you can start the vehicle diagnostics and select the region where the vehicle was manufactured. If you select the Automatic option, the scanner will scan the vehicle immediately without the user having to manually enter VIN. This provides maximum comfort and convenience.

For vehicles manufactured in 1996 or later, the person using this scanner can access any of the 4 vehicle systems – engine, transmission, ABS /VSC/TRC and SRS airbag codes – and perform a diagnostic scan. You will be able to read fault data, clear fault data or read current data for your vehicle. The FX2000 is incredibly responsive and retrieves live diagnostic data incredibly quickly. It is easily one of the fastest affordable diagnostic tools you can buy. Plus, the software can be upgraded for free, so you can continue to use it for years to come.

Manufacturer-Level Diagnostics ( turn off the ABS/airbag/transmission warning light)

What Does the Automatic Transmission Warning Light Mean?

• The automatic transmission warning light means there is a problem with the transmission, possibly low fluid temperature, fluid level, pressure, a maintenance reminder, high temperature, and slipping out of gear.

Automatic Transmission System (ATS):

• Reads and clears fault codes, displays live transmission system data (fluid temperature, clutch actuation, pressure, etc.), and ensures transmission performance is optimal for vehicle speed and load. It provides detailed TCM data of the vehicle so you can quickly and accurately find existing or potential problems.

What Does the ABS Warning Light Mean?

• The ABS light comes on due to problems with the anti-lock braking system. Causes include a low brake fluid level, blown fuse, faulty speed sensor, defective ABS module, checked light bulb and worn hydraulic pump.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS):

• The FX2000 can read and clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) data stream transmitted from the ABS. It can verify the operating conditions of the ABS through a series of bi-directional tests and turn off the warning light. By retrieving the ABS code data, it can check the various brake components and accurately diagnose problems.

What Can Cause the Airbag Light to Come On?

• The airbag light can come on for many reasons. For example, if the airbag is deactivated, the airbag system has not been reset, the seatbelt buckle is not working, the clock spring is defective, a previous accident has occurred, the SRS computer is faulty and the passenger seat sensor is defective, etc.

Supplemental restraint system (SRS):

• It is able to read and clear fault codes in the SRS (airbag) and turn off the warning light to make sure the system is working correctly and safely. This diagnostic tool also displays a live graphical data stream of the supplemental restraint system (air bag), which allows you to analyze and verify that the air bag system is working properly.

Please Note:

The FX2000 scanner supports most US vehicles 1996 and later, EU vehicles 2002 and later, and Asian vehicles 2005 and later for engine, AT and ABS /SRS testing. If you are unsure if the scanner will work with your vehicle, please let us know your vehicle details via the FAQs.

What Could Cause the Check Engine Light to Turn On?

The check engine light can come on for many reasons. For example, a faulty lambda sensor, a loose fuel cap, a faulty catalytic converter, ignition coil problems, faulty spark plug wires, a vacuum leak, etc.

Engine System Diagnosis:

Quickly determines the cause of engine system faults, reads current, permanent and pending codes, clears the codes and turns off the warning light. In addition, the FX2000 also displays important OBD II advanced data such as fuel, emission data and other manufacturer-specific parameters in real time to ensure that the engine ECU is operating correctly and safely.

• Read Codes and Clear Codes: Read the fault code within 3 seconds, clear the pending fault code and turn off the engine light.
• Evap System Test: Allows you to perform a leak test for the vehicle’s EVAP system. Prevent vaporized gasoline vapors from escaping the vehicle’s fuel tank into the atmosphere.
• Freeze Frame: Get a snapshot of the vehicle when a freeze frame code has been saved.
• I/M Readiness Test: The purpose of the readiness monitors is to test the emission control systems of the vehicle itself. The monitors are also referred to as emission monitors. Determine if your vehicle is ready for a smog test.
• On-Board Monitor Test: The on-board diagnostic system consists of a computer that monitors the exhaust system and major engine components. This allows you to read the results of the on-board diagnostic monitoring and test specific components/systems.
• O2 Sensor Test: Allows you to retrieve and view the O2 sensor monitor test result for the last test performed from the vehicle’s on-board computer.
• Vehicle Information Number: This displays information such as VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), CID (Calibration ID), and CVN (Calibration Verification Number).
• Live Data Stream: Reads a wealth of live data streams and freeze frame data to monitor the vehicle’s operating status, including fuel system status, coolant temperature, RPM and various sensor parameters.
• DTC Lookup: The device has a built-in, up-to-date OBD-II DTC library, reads generic (P0, P2, P3 and U0) and manufacturer-specific (P1, P3 and U1) codes, displays definition.

Live Datastream Graphics Analysis

• One of the more unique features of this particular diagnostic tool is its ability to produce graphical displays. The Ancel FX2000 can quickly retrieve live data from a vehicle in a stream. This includes ECU reports and VIN as well as data streams for the engine/ AT /ABS/SRS (airbag) and a variety of diagnostic reports for the vehicle.
• Because the four vehicle systems are data-enabled, you can use the FX2000 to visually view the streamed data in a waveform, focus on suspicious data parameters or symptom-specific data, and view historical data replays and records.
• By using the graphing visualization, data logging, and tips and replay DTCs, the users will be able to determine the root cause of a variety of trouble codes at a much faster rate. The DTC lookup function and the DLC location suggestions support mean that the analysis can be undertaken quickly, easily and efficiently.
