A scanner code number tells you the circuit that is giving the code , so like a engine temp sensor code tells you that circuit is doing it , not necessarily the sensor itself .
Please don't think I'm trying to be rude or nasty, but I don't understand the point of this video. I have 3 scanners and none of them say "this part is bad/replace it". They all show the codes that are either pending or history. Some scanners will show a list of possible problems that could set a code, but I've never seen one that told you what is definitely wrong with it.
This is straight off of the FIXD website (a OBII code reader that is pretty popular) “ FIXD tells you what’s wrong, how serious it is, and how much it should cost so you never overpay. “ another quote off their website “ Skip the shop and diagnose over 7,000 car problems in seconds on your phone. “ people buy these products expecting it to be correct when a lot of the times they are not. The reason for the video is to remind people to properly diagnose any issue their car has
The problem isn’t with the scanner, it’s the software trying to assume (promise) too much. And that isn’t even a software issue, but more of an issue with crooked marketing. Blaming the scanner itself is like blaming your ratchet for not coming with instructions for fixing your car.
@@batterybuilding I agree with the crooked marketing part of the comment, the point of the video was to tell people to thoroughly diagnose the problem and not rely on the recommendations from the scanner
