Answer: No, it won't help (except for VW/Audi VAG tools, which can diagnose and clear airbag and SRS lights). The non-VAG devices only query powertrain controllers. Most of these functions are manufacturer specific. If your airbag or abs system shows a fault, you should probably take it to your dealer and have them troubleshoot it for you.
Answer: It is hard to give a definite answer. The diagnostic code that you get from your vehicle's ECU can help guide you, but it is not a direct indication of which part to replace. When you get a trouble code, it is an indication of a problem that the vehicle's ECU has detected, but often, you must investigate the root cause. Trouble codes above P1000 may be defined differently by each manufacturer, so be sure to check in a manual which is devoted to the particular model.
Answer: The trouble codes in the booklet are generic trouble codes that apply for every manufacturer. Trouble codes above P1000 may be defined differently by each manufacturer, so be sure to check in a manual which is devoted to the particular model or do an online search for the trouble code that was displayed. I also have some OBDII resources listed on the OBDII Information page of this site.
Answer: No, it will NOT reprogram the vehicle ECU, or change any operating parameters (except the VAG programmer tools in VAG vehicles only). The only data that it can change is clearing diagnostic data, such as trouble codes or on-board test results.
Answer: Not at this time.
Answer: They will work with some VW and Audi Vehicles but may not display all available codes for these cars, unless you purchase one of the VW/Audi Scanners, which are fully compatible with these vehicles.
Answer: The check engine light may appear without any codes being present in some vehicles. This appears to routinely happen in certain vehicles.
Answer: Scan for codes again. If the check engine light keeps coming back, it is a sign that there is still a problem that you vehicle's ECU is detecting. The check engine light will continue to return until the problem is resolved.
