MaxiScan 405

Introduction An essential piece of kit for the majority of vehicle owners - save time and money with this handy palm sized MaxScan 405 VAG code reader which enables you to troubleshoot any problems in your vehicle by reading the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) that appear when the "check engine" light is showing. DTC's are codes that are stored by the car's in-board computer system in response to a vehicle issue. Codes relate to a particular problem and are made up of a 5 digit alpha-numeric sequence and are used as a guide to help locate the fault in order for you to fix the vehicle. This scanner reads and erases all DTC codes of the engine, airbag, ABS and A/T and turns off the MIL lights of the engine, airbags, ABS and automatic transmission.

If your car has a 16 pin 'OBD style' data link connector (DTC) the code reader is compatible, however if it has an older-style 2x2 DTC then it will depend whether there are 3 or 4 wires connecting to the pins. If there are 4 wires then the scanner will work but if there are only 3 wires, leaving one pin disconnected, then, sorry, but this product will not work.

If your vehicle is the 2x2 DTC 4 wire style you will need a 2x2 cable adapter. (Not included in this sale)

The scanner works with the following protocols:

J1850 PWM
J1850 VPW
KPW 2000
ISO 14230-04
ISO 9141

For specific compatibility information please check your vehicle's user guide or with the manufacturer. Please do bear in mind that while we do our very best to provide accurate information we cannot be held responsible in the unlikely event that this code reader does not work with a certain car or van.
