Got a Ford? The ANCEL FD700 is here to make your life easier when it comes to car maintenance and diagnostics.
Designed specifically for these vehicles, this little powerhouse can scan all the key systems in your car—engine, SRS, ABS, TPMS, and more.
Whether you're dealing with a pesky warning light or just want to keep everything running smoothly, this Ford scanner has got your back.
What Can the Ford Scanner Do
Engine System Checks
When engine goes wrong, it can be a headache.
With this OBD2 scanner tool, you can run a full diagnostic of the engine system, identifying problems with codes like P0300 (Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected) or P0171 (System Too Lean, Bank 1).
Once the issue is resolved, it allows you to turn off the check engine light and make sure the car is ready for a smog test.
It also checks your battery voltage, giving you a convenient multitasking tool.
TPMS Reset
If you've inflated your tires but the tire pressure warning light stays on, this obd2 scanner for Ford pulls real-time data from the ECU, resetting the TPMS and clearing codes such as C0045 (Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Circuit). No more false alarms.
SRS (Airbag) Diagnostics
When your airbag system has a fault, safety becomes a concern.
The Ford scanner can read and erase airbag-related error codes like B0001 (Driver Frontal Airbag Deployment Circuit High) or B0010 (Passenger Seat Airbag Deployment Circuit).
SRS light turns off, ensuring the airbags are fully functional again.
SAS (Steering Angle Sensor) Calibration
After alignment work or if steering feels off-center, recalibrating the steering angle sensor is crucial.
This Ford scanner tool handles fault codes like C0051 (Steering Position Sensor Circuit) and resets the system, helping your car drive smoothly again.

Battery System Diagnosis
If your car struggles to start or the battery feels weak, the obd2 scanner for Ford monitors real-time battery data and detects issues like U0120 (Lost
Communication with Battery Energy Control Module). After a battery replacement, it also resets the battery management system, preventing false alerts.
EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) Reset
Brake pad replacement requires resetting the electronic parking brake.
The Ford scanner reads and clears codes such as C1441 (Electric Parking Brake Actuator Performance) to ensure your parking brake functions smoothly after maintenance.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Diagnostics
If your ABS light is on, this Ford scanner tool identifies the cause by reading codes like C1234 (Wheel Speed Sensor Rear Right Input Circuit Failure) or C1241 (Low Power Supply Voltage to ABS Module).
It also supports auto-bleed to remove trapped air in the brake lines, ensuring reliable braking.
Transmission Health Check
Your transmission is key to overall vehicle performance.
The obd2 scanner for Ford diagnoses and clears transmission codes like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction) or P0730 (Incorrect Gear Ratio), ensuring optimal engine and wheel synchronization for a smooth drive.
Oil Reset
After an oil change, resetting the service light is important to track the next interval.
This Ford scanner clears codes like P250A (Engine Oil Level Sensor Circuit), allowing you to keep the oil service system accurate.
Full OBDII Modes for All Vehicles
Even if your vehicle isn’t a Ford, this tool supports all standard OBDII modes, including reading codes, clearing them, and performing EVAP tests.
Codes like P0442 (Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected) or P0456 (Evaporative Emission System Very Small Leak Detected) can be easily diagnosed, keeping your engine running smoothly.
ABS Bleed and Other Handy Features
For ABS repairs, the auto bleed function helps remove air trapped in the ABS system, fixing issues indicated by codes like C121C (Torque Request Signal Denied) or C1226 (Left Front Excessive Wheel Speed Variation).
This makes brake repairs more effective.
Battery Registration
When installing a new battery, registering it properly avoids charging issues.
The Ford scanner ensures compatibility by clearing codes like U1900 (CAN Communication Bus Fault) and syncing the new battery with the control module.
TPMS and EPB Resets Made Easy
After replacing tires or brake pads, the obd2 scanner for Ford resets these systems and clears codes like C0035 (Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor) or C1110 (Brake Control System), getting everything back in order.
Compatible with Ford and Beyond
Whether you’re driving a Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury from 1996 to 2023—whether it’s an F-150, Explorer, or Taurus—this Ford scanner tool has you covered. It also provides full OBDII support for other vehicle brands, making it a must-have for any garage.
