THE FACTORY SCAN TOOLS Why should you even consider a factory tool or information system when you already have something that seems to be good enough Again it depends upon what type of Asian repair work you plan to be doing Here are a few examples of simple services you may not be able to do without the factory scan tool 1 The Toyota Prius brake fluid flush requires a scan tool that has bi directional controls the brake pedal is not physically connected to a master cylinder The pedal sends a request to a computer that calculates whether or not the service brakes need to be applied or if regen will be enough Without the tool you re just pushing on a pedal attached to a sensor not bleeding any fluid 2 Hondas 2005 newer maintenance reminder system requires the factory scan tool to clear history of service items that were completed but not displayed SEPTEMBEA OCTOBEA 201 IMPORT SERVICE 19 GEARING UP FOA ASIAN REPAIR 20 on the dash For example if you sell your customer transmission fluid service but the minder only displayed 1 without properly clearing the reminder the customer may get a minder item 3 for transmission fluid service shortly after he leaves It makes you appear unprofessional and it may even cause the customer to begin to doubt whether you did what you said you did When you clear the indicator without the scan tool it only resets whatever is current
