What to do if my VXDAS NT510 Scanner shows a Vehicle Linking Error?
If you're experiencing a vehicle linking error with your VXDAS Scanner, there are a few potential causes. First, ensure that the vehicle is OBDII compliant. Secondly, check that the ignition is turned ON. Lastly, a bad connection might be the problem; try resetting the tool by turning the ignition off, waiting 10 seconds, and then turning it back on.
Why my VXDAS NT510 doesn't power up?
If your VXDAS Scanner doesn't power up, there are several potential reasons. First, verify that the OBDII cable connector is securely connected to the vehicle's DLC. Next, check the vehicle's DLC pins for any bending or breakage; if found, have a certified technician repair the DLC. Finally, ensure that the vehicle's battery is providing at least 8V.
