i've worked on several honda cars(03-05) that have a functional test menu on the scanner(solus pro 10.2). when you try to activate any of the functions like compressor relay the screen will say that function is not for this car. there are about ten functions listed and only (3) or (4) actually work. there have been other threads about wanting more makes(jaguar/volvo) added to the scanners. please improve on what's covered in the scanner now(honda, nissan, mitsubishi, etc). i hope some one is listening. i'll be more specific in my next thread with vin#s. i do like the time saver menu in troubleshooter. the cylinder layout info saves time.

Are you referring to a list in the Troubleshooter or on the main menu?Comment

ON THE HONDA I WOULD LIKE TO ACTIVATE(KEY ON ENG. OFF) THE A/C COMPRESSOR, FUEL PUMP, COOLING FANS, INJECTORS, AND EVAP COMPONENTS
I MENTIONED THE OTHER CAR BRANDS AS AN EXAMPLE. IMPROVEMENTS ON THE CAR BRANDS IN THE SCANNER NOW WOULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE THAN ADDING MORE GENERIC INFO OR WIRELESS FOR MORE MAKES AND MODELS. THIS WAS AN 03-05 ACCORD AND CIVIC THAT I COULD NOT PERFORM THE FUNCTIONAL TEST ON.Comment

Honda
does that mean it can't be fixed or won't be fixed?Comment

Kebo
It does not mean that it won't be fixed. I think what Jay was saying is that Snap-on is trying to make the Scanner work in the same manner as the OE scanner for each make. The problems you are having are broken tests. What would help A LOT is if you have a problem List the year, make, model, engine size and the first 10 digits of the Vin. Snap-on needs to be able to duplicate the problem that you are having so they can see what is going wrong so they can fix it. Without the correct info from the user having an issue it is very difficult to fix the problem.

If the SO scanner works like the OEM one on a specific test, that means the error is with the vehicle and not the scanner. I see it several times/year, and it's caused by a software bug or design error in the PCM.

Hi Joe
I'm not sure if Kebo's having the exact problem I'm having but I can't get any Honda function test to work on my Verus and I mean none of them to work. I get the same error message every time, the car doesn't support this function. I don't have year and makes on file but none of them have worked for me. I can use the Launch on the same car and all is good so I'm not sure how it's the PCM fault. Next time I have a Honda in I'll try some test and then post year make and vin for the software engineers to look into.

In that case we DEFINITELY know it's the scanner's fault. Please grab the 1st 10 of the VIN and which tests don't work. I've only used the EVAP Tests on a Honda so far...and only on a couple of cars. I will be sure to check any one I can get my hands on now.
Thanks!

your right on the money autotech we do have the same problem on honda's. all you really have is a code reader and generic info when the functional tests do not work. i'll have a vin# hopefully this week. functional tests are VERY important. if i can activate cooling fans or a fuel pump when commanded by the scanner; half of my diagnosis is done by eliminating wiring,pcm, or the object i'm activating. i'm flagging down the first honda i see on monday(03-05 honda).Comment

Very good. Snap-on just started adding tests for Honda recently, as I'm sure you know. They are still adding more. Maybe we can start a thread on the "What do I want" Forum about what tests are most important to you on Hondas, and we can put the non-working tests in that same thread.

I support this thread
Hello, I definitely agree that there needs to be more tests functions as well as calibration functions for the Solus Pro. Please hurry Snap-on!Comment
