SRS Diagnosis
Read and clear SRS-related error codes after repairs. This resolves issues like crash data recorded on the driver side (airbag replacement required), occupant classification system defects, or seat track position sensor malfunctions. Helps avoid airbag failure in an accident.
ABS Bleeding
When there's air in the ABS, it affects braking performance. The ANCEL AD610 Pro helps auto bleed the brake system by purging the air, ensuring no air bubbles in the brake lines, for proper operation and optimal performance. This maintenance task is typically done when replacing brake fluid or servicing brake components, to ensure braking system stability and reliability. Note: This feature is not compatible with vehicles that only support manual bleeding.
This graphic details the process of ABS bleeding: 1. Inspecting or replacing ABS parts. 2. Adding or replacing brake fluid. 3. Addressing soft brake pedal or poor braking performance by expelling air from the system.
SAS Calibration
Enjoy precision steering and enhanced safety through the SAS calibration feature. By ensuring accurate alignment of your vehicle's steering angle sensor (SAS), SAS calibration delivers precise control, eliminates steering drift, and prevents uneven tire wear. Improve handling and maneuverability on the road, even in challenging conditions, while driving with confidence knowing that your steering system is finely tuned for maximum performance and safety.
