3.2. Bi-directional Control (Active Tests)

The bidirectional control feature allows the Anyscan A30 to send commands to vehicle components and systems to test their functionality. This helps in quickly pinpointing issues by actively testing components like fuel pumps, windows, door locks, cooling fans, and more. The specific actuation tests available may vary by vehicle make and model.

Monitor vehicle performance in real-time by viewing live data streams. The Anyscan A30 supports graphing of up to 8 PIDs (Parameter IDs) simultaneously, allowing for easy comparison and analysis of multiple data points. This graphical representation helps in identifying abnormal readings and diagnosing intermittent issues.
