ABS and Airbag Reset Tool NT630 Elite

I bought this to keep in the glove box of my 2006 RX-8. I thought all OBD-II scanners sold lately were equipped with ABS, SRS & other diagnostic functions, but it doesn't seem so. This was on sale with $20 off, so I bought it. This is to keep in the glove box of my 2006 RX-8, and for this purpose this tool would suffice. Tried it, and the auto VIN works and other functions are easy to navigate through. For high-end shops, this may not suffice but for home mechanics or those who do not wish to spend thousands of $$$ at a dealer/shop, this would save you a fortune. For Honda/Acura owners, note that Honda uses unique protocol for accessing control modules for ECU, ABS, SRS & what not. Even some Snap-on diagnostic tablets seem to have difficulty communicating with Honda vehicles. I have an Actron CP9580A in the dash of my 2004 Acura TL. The Actron is near-perfect tool for the majority of non-professionals in that it is loaded with all- system diagnostic functions (except for BODY/CAN systems). Unfortunately, it is no longer available and I bought mine in 2014 at $230. It also has x3 AAA batteries, as well as use vehicle battery power, while this Foxwell only uses vehicle battery, so you cannot power it unless it is connected to a vehicle or a PC. If the Actron was still available, that would have been the one I bought. However, at this price this Foxwell is also a good value. My main diagnostic platform is Autel Maxisys MS906BT (BlueTooth, so you can use it via wireless). This lets me do everything that an HDS (Honda Diagnostic System used at Honda & Acura dealers) can do, including ECU & duplicate key programming (an HDS is about $10,000 I believe). The Autel was about $1,300 and you may think it's over-priced, but several dealer visits would pay it off. I work as an airline plane tech, so the Autel is no rocket science (anyone who uses smart phones/tablets can use it with no hassle). Besides, the Autel is not just a diagnostic tablet but can function as, well, a tablet so it comes with Chrome & other tablet functions (the OS is Android). For such system, $1,200 was a serious bargain for me. You can also connect borescope camera, has USB 2.0 & mini-USB interface as well as micro SD slot. It is one of the best investments I made for my vehicles. The only issue is that the free software update is for 1 year, and after that you have to pay monthly subscription fees to access updates for a price. However, neither of my vehicles needs updates so it does not affect me. Newer vehicles may come with systems that a hand-held scanner is of little help, but Autel with updates would be able to resolve just about any issues. Update on 6/26/24: The seller is serious about making sure the customers are satisfied with their purchases. If you're not satisfied for any reason, this seller would make sure that you are 100% happy. I have been an Amazon customer for 24 years, and OBDZON, the seller, is by far THE BEST I've come across.

I was having problems with a “soft” brake pedal on my 2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. Although it had always had a softer brake pedal than I prefer from day one, it suddenly went from soft to almost to the floor for an unknown reason. Vacuum assist worked great so that part was okay. So then I went the usual way of chasing parts…got a new master cylinder, bench bled it, installed it and put all new fluid in the master cylinder and all the lines. But, still no change! Bled all 4 wheels (in proper sequence) at least 4 times and no change! The pads had less than 10k miles on them and they still looked new. No leaking of brake lines or calipers or stuck calipers, so I was in a real quandary! Exhausted all the remedies suggested by the “experts” on the internet (some of them being totally absurd, some were “well duh” like I'm stupid and some of simple mindlessness). I almost gave up and resigned myself to become a “pedal-pumper”…something my wife totally objected to being herself. So, it was either drop $60 grand for a new Wrangler for her or get my a%% in gear and get it fixed. The only thing left was the ABS system…something I confess to not knowing much about and probably could not fix and knew was probably very expensive to fix. So, I did more in-depth technical research and came upon the idea that maybe it was just air in the ABS system. But, how do I bleed the ABS system? More research and more stupid answers on the internet, so what am I going to do? Although, there were no trouble lights indicating ABS problems (yes, the bulbs lit up on ignition/start-up diagnostics), maybe it was worth a try to get a diagnostics done. So, I asked around and found out that the stealership would do that, but just for the diagnostics it would be around $175 and 2 or 3 days of waiting around for them to “around to it”. Then probably a grand or two to fix it (they don't just fix it, they replace the whole system) and more waiting around! More internet research! Finally, I did find some info about scanners that could autobleed ABS systems…what? Yeah, it was true and specifically information this FOXWELL NT630 Plus scanner! Could this be true? I contacted FOXWELL just to make sure that it would do an ABS autobleed and specifically on my Wrangler? They responded immediately with an affirmative, and also gave me a ton of other info about how to upgrade this unit to the latest software and such off of their website. I mean, they are customer-oriented to the max! I thought to myself that this is a no-brainer as this unit would cost me less than a diagnostic session at the stealership and I would have a scanner of my own! So, I ordered it, updated the firmware with the FOXWELL latest software upgrades and attached it to my Wrangler's OBD. Yeah, I was a bit nervous, but I did exactly what the video and written instructions told me to do, followed the on-screen dialogue and what happened next absolutely floored me. As the FOXWELL NT630 Plus went through it's diagnostics and repair sequence, there were some noises coming from under the hood and my brake pedal vibrated (just like the instructions said would happen). I then shut everything down as instructed by the on-screen dialogue and disconnected the unit from the OBD. Started the engine again and stepped on the brake pedal and nearly fell to the floor. The brake pedal was back with more firmness than ever before and now 3 months later, still as firm as it was after this unit fixed the ABS system! Thank you, FOXWELL…for a great product and really great customer support! Thanks for saving me literally thousand$ of dollars! I am so grateful! I am not a spokesman for this company, am not an employee of this company, nor did anyone ask me for a positive review. This is a real review from real results that I got from using this scanner...period!!

I bought the FOXWELL NT630 Plus after watching lots of YT videos, thinking I’d use it once, clear a code, and toss it in the glove box. Instead, this little orange gadget has turned me a “car whisperer.” The first time I plugged it in, I expected a confusing mess of menus and codes that looked like alien language. But it was surprisingly easy to use. Within minutes, I found the ABS issue that had been haunting my dashboard for weeks. A quick fix later, the light was gone, and I avoided what would’ve probably been a very expensive “diagnostic fee” at the shop. What I love most is that it doesn’t just spit out codes and leave you guessing. It actually tells you what’s going on in plain English. That alone makes it worth the money. The buttons feel solid, the screen is clear, and it doesn’t feel like a cheap gadget that’ll die after two uses. Is it going to magically fix your car? No. But will it tell you exactly what’s wrong so you don’t walk into a repair shop blind? Absolutely. And that’s a powerful feeling. If you own a car and like saving money, this thing pays for itself the first time you use it. I went from “person who knows nothing about cars” to “person who says ‘let me scan that real quick’” and honestly, that’s pretty fun. Highly recommend!!

Perfect for many models. Very easy to use. Resolved my steering angle sensor issue within 5 min. Honda Civic EPS, VSA lights out. 4 star only because it does not resolve Tire Pressure light. It does MANY other resolutions.

Bin zufrienden mit dem Teil, bei den Updates sollte man schauen ob man alles wirklich braucht und dann abwählen. Wärend bei den meisten Automarken es sich um ein paar KB bis MB handelt sind es z.B. bei BMW gleich mal über 900 MB. das muss man sich ja nicht antun, wenn man keinen BMW hat, da das die Zeit des Udatevorganges enorm verlängert. Sobald der Stecker drin ist geht die Kiste an und los gehts. Hat mir viel Geld gespart, da ich so wusste, dass ich eine neue Lambdasonde brauche und auch welche und dass mein Airbag nach dem Wiedereinbau einen Kurzen hatte. Da wär ich sonst nie drauf gekommen. Das ist nämlich Absicht vom Hersteller, die Kontakte werden beim Ausbau, bzw abziehen des Steckers mechanisch auf Kurzschluss gestell, damit er bei versehentlichem Kontakt mit einem Stromführenden Kabel nicht auslöst. Da muss man erst mal drauf kommen! Ohne das Teil hätte ich den Airbag weggeschmissen oder wär ein die Werkstatt. Beides hätte sicherlich viele hundert Euro gekostet.

This scanner does what it says it will do. Having had two disappointments with other brands, the Foxwell NT630 Elite enabled me to reset the airbag codes on my BMW E87. Solid device with substantial case and good instruction book.

Very painful menu structure. With endurance you can find your way around. After finding what you are looking it very easy to follow test instructions. I used it mainly to find a defective wheel speed sensor and fix the problem. Nice graphing capabilities to view and compare two wheel sensors against each other. I will also be using the EPB reset feature which is in the menu to complete the rear brakes pads replacement soon.

Attention, il faut commander ce produit par rapport à son utilité et ses fonctions et surtout l’année de la voiture car il prend pas tout je l’ai, je l’ai renvoyé préférez le 680 ou 80 plus

Just the job, shows plenty of information. Updates easily. Best I've had so far and I've had a few. Well pleased.
