6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ANCEL VD700, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

6.1 Why can't I clear the fault codes?

Clearing fault codes requires specific conditions to be met:

Requirement: The vehicle must be in ignition-on mode (engine off).
Hard Faults: Ensure all underlying hard faults are repaired first. The scanner can only clear codes if the fault is no longer present.
Permanent DTCs: Some Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are permanent and cannot be cleared until the vehicle completes several drive cycles without the fault recurring.

For more detailed troubleshooting steps and specific error codes, please consult the comprehensive User Manual (PDF) provided with your product or available for download on the ANCEL website.
