Three Essential Reset Services for Common Repairs
Based on extensive user feedback and LAUNCH’s deep industry expertise, the CRP123X Elite OBD2 scanner integrates the three most frequently utilized service functions in the automotive repair sector, particularly relevant for the US market. This integration makes the CRP123X Elite a cost-effective solution, minimizing the need for expensive dealership visits for routine maintenance.
-
Oil Reset: The Top Service for Vehicle Maintenance
Oil changes are fundamental to vehicle longevity, engine performance, and preventing costly future repairs. The Oil Reset function on the CRP123X Elite allows you to reset the oil life indicator or service reminder after an oil change, effectively turning off the “check engine” light or dashboard warning. Performing this service yourself can save you between $10 to $30 on labor costs each time.
-
SAS Reset: Steering Angle Sensor Calibration
The Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) reset is crucial after any steering or suspension work, such as wheel alignments. Resetting the SAS to its default position ensures the accurate operation of safety systems like Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Failure to reset the SAS can compromise these systems and lead to unsafe driving conditions. Performing this reset with the CRP123X Elite can save you $50 to $150 or more compared to dealership service costs.
-
Throttle Adaptation: Optimizing Throttle Response
Throttle adaptation recalibrates the throttle control system, restoring optimal engine performance. Over time, the throttle system can experience issues like lag, poor acceleration, or rough idling. By performing throttle adaptation, you can resolve these issues and potentially save $50 to $200, avoiding unnecessary mechanic fees.
