4. Operation

4.1. 4 Main System Diagnostics (Lifetime Free)

The CRP123E/CRP123I V3.0 provides in-depth diagnostic capabilities for the following four core vehicle systems:

• Engine System Diagnosis: Read and clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), view live data streams to pinpoint engine problems, turn off warning lights, and ensure optimal engine performance.

4.4. Quick VIN Identification

The Automatic Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) technology streamlines the diagnostic process by automatically identifying the vehicle's brand, model, and year. Once the VIN is successfully obtained, the system proceeds to scan vehicle systems and automatically generates a diagnostic report, which can be sent to your email.

Note: For vehicles that do not support the Auto VIN Scan function, you can manually enter the vehicle VIN.
