• Automatic VIN Scan: The Launch Creader Professional CRP909X is equipped with the latest automatic VIN scanning function, allowing for quick identification of vehicles through the CAN network with just one click.
• Manual VIN Entry: For vehicles that do not support automatic VIN scanning, the Launch Creader Professional CRP909X offers the option to manually enter the vehicle VIN.
• Manual Vehicle Selection: When the vehicle's VIN cannot be automatically retrieved from the ECU, the Launch Creader Professional CRP909X allows for the manual selection of the vehicle.
• Alternative Vehicle Identification: If the Launch Creader Professional CRP909X cannot identify the vehicle, you can perform the diagnosis via the generic EOBD option.

Automatic and Manual Scan: When you have access to the diagnostic section, two scan options are available:

1. Automatic Scan: Initiates an automatic scan for all available modules in the vehicle.
2. Manual Scan: Initiates a manual diagnosis for the selected module in the vehicle.

Automatic scan:

The "Automatic Scan" function is a practical and comprehensive diagnostic option that automatically scans all available modules in the vehicle. This function quickly and efficiently provides an overview of the current control modules and detects any error codes. During the automatic scan, all modules are checked for error codes, with the status displayed as follows:

• Red - An error code has been detected in the control unit.
• Green - No error codes have been found in the control unit.

Manual scan:

The "Manual Scan" function, in addition to the automatic scan, offers the ability to select specific control modules in the vehicle for targeted diagnosis. With this function, you can manually determine which module you wish to scan and analyze. By selecting a specific control module manually, you can focus on a particular system or component of the vehicle. This is especially useful if you suspect a problem that you want to identify or carry out a specific procedure.
Components of the manual scan may include:
