i ran across u and watched one of u using the recycle machine, would u do one if the 1234yf detected 134a what would u have to do at that point. i really want to no before i buy one. some have said they had to decontaminate it but did not show it. if at that point its gona be complicated and expensive then i would buy a separate identifier and not take the chance with that expensive machine. please help me out about that subject. also i would think i would need a reclaim machine for those so i could put the contaminated refrigerant in a separate tank. thanks
You are exactly right. Or what someone would do when no one is looking is just open the lines and vent to atmosphere. I'm not saying to do that, I'm just saying it happens daily.
Do i have to have internet access in order to use this tool? So what happens when the 2 year free update ends? or Does it stop working till i pay a subscription? Can i still fully use all its functions if i decide not to pay for any updates?
You only need internet for the initial setup. After the updates expire it still works, but let's say you do an update in 2026, it won't have 2027 and later model years. Some of the 2027+ models will still work if they don't have major changes, but once they have a major change you won't be able to. All the 2026 and older will be good for that tool indefinitely.
Have you lost the ability to program tire pressure sensor id numbers into your vehicle computer with your scan tool? The one I bought allowed me to program in the id codes for 2 of my new tire pressure sensors on a 06 dodge grand caravan, but I didn't do all 4 at one time. After I finally changed the other tires, the reader wouldn't connect to the van any longer so I updated the software on the scanner. Now, it will no longer allow me to do anything but see the id numbers. Even then, I have to fight through various menus to get to that point.
I would like to answer this but we don't have Renault in the U.S so I can't say. Is there a reset procedure called for in the service manual? Typically our nox sensors set codes if there is a fault and it needs to be repaired, not just cleared or reset.
