ANCEL HD8000 DPF Regenaration Heavy Truck Scanner Service Reset Action Test Special Functions Calibration Function

This thing is pro-level in every sense of the word. Right off the bat, it includes a well though out case that is both rugged and has a spot for every single item. The amount of adapters provided is mind blowing (though interestingly, it didn't specifically have what I needed). It even provides for adapting to systems that you don't have the adapter for with pin adapters. The wireless connection is fast and flawless to the module. The tablet itself is very ruggedly built and convenient to hold. The screen is bright, easy to read, and has just the right sensitivity to touch. I found it easy to navigate the app and there was no delay when selecting items. I was able to easily update all of the software to the most recent versions (that did take a bit). I also find that the Ancel brand in general stands behind their products and keeps up with both updates and warranty issues. Highly recommended.

So I received this and immediately hooked it up to my Peterbilt 579.
The first thing I noticed what that it is very fast when it comes to communicating with the truck and when you're looking at the perimeters they are all updating at the same time, in real time. There is no delay as it updates each PID individually.
It shows everything you need to completely diagnose the truck and you can do it all without the laptop.
The wireless/bluetooth signal works very well and you can get a bit of distance without it losing the signal.
The battery lasts a good couple of hours and the screen is very bright.
Also the touch screen is fairly responsive, or about as much as an Android screen is.

Now for the reason that I only gave it four stars.
My ECM is password protected.
When I first received this scanner there was no option or any screen where I was able to input the password.
I had to shuffle around between emailing the manufacturer (which offered absolutely no help and told me to contact the seller) and the seller (TopTool) to find out why.
At first I was told to send a screenshot/video of the problem, and then just as I sent the screenshot I received an email saying that the feature was just now enabled on my scanner.
The fact that it isn't enable to begin with is disappointing.

After it was enabled (which they can do through the account you create when you activate the software), it appears to work well.
However, I tested another option.
I entered the wrong password, and it didn't tell me that I entered the wrong password but instead told that I have successfully unlocked the ECM.
It wasn't unlocked of course and gave me errors when I tried to change something like that speed limit... But that is something they'll have to work on.

All in all it's a very good scanner and should impress even professional mechanics that are tired of moving around laptops that keep them tethered by the truck and unable to move around the shop while looking at the data.

This tool will pay for itself in less than a week if used at a repair station. It has every feature you can think of when it comes to diesel diagnostics and functions. The screen is big, bright and beautiful! The unit itself is very sturdy and built like a tank, plus you get a lifetime of free updates over wifi, which also connects very fast and securely. The scanner comes with all cables and connectors described on the listing. I know this is an expensive tool, but like i said, it does really pay for itself within the first few jobs. If you work with diesels, trucks vans, and anything big or commercial, this is the tool you need.

This scanner productively breaks down recovered information, permitting you to decipher results and investigate issues with insignificant postponement. This can be a unique advantage in a bustling mechanics shop or for Do-It-Yourself lovers who esteem their time. oil reset, TPMS reset, ABS Brake Dying, and so forth. It distinguished a defective fuel siphon pressure sensor. This pinpoint analysis saved me from pointless fixes or parts substitutions. Past the difficulty code. Performed TPMS enactment, battery substitution programming, and different assistance resets myself, getting a good deal on showroom visits. The TPMS relearn framework turns out perfectly for every one of my Trucks. All around planned interface improves on the demonstrative interaction for experienced DIYers. Shrewd Geography Module Planning improve on diagnostics and investigate vehicle's framework modules without any problem. This scanner is extremely easy to utilize, and that implies less time attempting to sort out the scanner and additional time diagnosing the trucks. The remote element is a lifeline. The mapology works perfectly. The scanner is loaded with highlights which makes diagnosing a breeze. Likewise the case comes stacked with each conceivable connector and everything fits effectively dissimilar to different brands. I'm simply getting into this thing and it is an outright force to be reckoned with of information. Incredible for the specialist or the old pro.
