6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, the BM700 can help identify the problem. Always perform a second diagnostic after clearing codes to identify persistent issues.

• "No Fault Codes" Message: This indicates no current diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the vehicle's ECUs.
• Intermittent Codes: Some codes may appear due to temporary glitches. Clear the codes and re-scan. If they return, further investigation is needed.
• "Function Not Supported" Message: This means your specific vehicle model or year may not support that particular function. Contact ANCEL support for compatibility details.
• Communication Errors: Ensure the scanner is securely connected to the OBD2 port and the vehicle's ignition is on. Check the vehicle's battery voltage.
