reductant quality test

[2004LB7]

Just wanted to check with you guys to see if EfiLive scan tool have the reductant quality test for resetting the low quality DEF fluid after cleaning or replacing the sensors. I've been looking at the DVT controls and didn't see any that looked like it. I saw plenty of other tests and resets but not that one. is it labeled something else? or is this a Tech 2 only?

uncle's 2014 Duramax is showing this message. he cleaned the #2 nox sensor along with dropping the DEF thank and flushing it clean and refilled it with fresh DEF. I ran a service regen afterwards and it looks like the nox sensors are working with the #2 nox sensor reading much lower then the #1 nox sensor. he is now down to 4 mph and trying to avoid him having to get it towed to the dealership

I don't think the V2 has that function. Any decent scan tool will have the reductant quality test function.

shucks. any idea on how many mile at 4 mph he'll have to drive for it to do it on its own?

I've fixed so many of them to give me the impression that they do not initiate the quality test on their own..... unfortunately

I have another relative with the Launch V431X+, anyone know if this tool has the capability? couldn't really find much information online about what it is capable of

well that just seems like a major oversight on GMs part. what where they thinking?

anyone familiar with the Autel MaxiCom MK808 and know if it has the capability? uncle is thinking about purchasing one but wants to know first

You will probably need the MP808. You need one that does bidirectional testing. Research it very good first.

I'm not sure if a tech 2 can do it but if it does I use the Nano version off Amazon. It's cheap and works.

Looks like a tech 2 can do it.

thanks, I'll look into the MP808 over the MK.

never heard of the nano version of the tech 2. I'll have to check that out. I'd be more inclined to push for a Tech 2 over another as I think it'd be more compatible with the vehicle but having compatibly with other brands is enticing too

 

[08lmm72mm]

I believe the nano can do other vehicle brands as well just need to download the software for it. Tech2win is the software used with the nano

You wouldn't happen to know which x431 model is was? The prices very greatly between the basic and v or pro models.

 

[2004LB7]

I'm not sure. it may be awhile before I get a chance to look at it again

 

[FreedomOne]

Gotcha. There is the original and then have have upgraded versions that have more capabilities.

he did mention that it cost him over $1200 and had something like a $400 a year subscription to keep it updated
