FX Series Full System Scan Tool
3.11 Vehicle Coverage
On the basis of all OBD II compliant vehicles, including
those equipped with universal protocol -- Control Area
Network (CAN), ANCEL FX Series Auto Scanner expands
vehicle system coverage and offers more diagnostic
power to the vehicle technicians.
Featuring expanded global vehicle coverage, the scan
tool offers technicians a significant improvement on model
years covered by supported manufactures. We’ve worked
backwards to include non-OBDII vehicles,
which can be
diagnosed by setting up with optional OBDI adaptors.
For a complete listing of all the added vehicle coverage,
