Unlocking the Power of Ross-Tech: Advanced Diagnostic Tips

Ross-Tech’s capabilities extend far beyond basic code reading and clearing. Here are some advanced tips to maximize its potential:

• Live Data Logging: Use the “Measuring Blocks” function to monitor live sensor data while driving your Touran. This can help you identify intermittent problems or fine-tune performance.
• Output Testing: Activate individual components like fuel injectors, solenoids, or even the horn to test their functionality without removing them from the vehicle.
• Coding and Adaptations: Access hidden features or adjust specific parameters within your Touran’s control modules. However, exercise caution with coding, as incorrect modifications can potentially affect your vehicle’s performance.
