Foxwell NT530 Plus | Car Diagnostic Tool

The Foxwell NT530 Plus is an advanced handheld scan tool that offers OE-level diagnostics for a wide range of vehicle brands. This model comes standard with software for one car brand of your choice and offers the possibility to expand coverage later with additional brands. The device features a bright 2.8-inch TFT color screen and a user-friendly interface, making navigation through the various functions easy. The NT530 Plus supports full system diagnosis, including engine, transmission, ABS, airbags, and more, and comes with lifetime free updates.

In addition to the extensive diagnostic capabilities, this scan tool also offers advanced features such as bi-directional control (active tests) and various coding and adaptation functions. This allows technicians not only to read data but also to control components and make adjustments after repairs. The option to purchase software for additional vehicle brands makes the NT530Plus a flexible and scalable solution that grows with the needs of the workshop or the demanding DIYer.

Diagnostic functions:

The NT530Plus provides access to all electronic systems of the vehicle for a complete diagnosis.

• Read and clear fault codes: Identifies and removes diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from all available control units.
• Live data: Displays real-time data from sensors and components in both text and graph format. Multiple data streams can be combined for better analysis.
• ECU information: Requests detailed information from the control unit, such as part number and software version.
• Active tests (bi-directional control): Allows you to temporarily control specific systems and components to check their operation, such as activating a fuel pump, opening an EGR valve, or testing the cooling fan.

Service and maintenance functions:

This diagnostic tool supports more than 30 common service and maintenance functions, enabling routine tasks to be performed efficiently.

Engine and drivetrain:

• Oil service reset: Resets the oil change interval and service message after maintenance.
• Diesel particulate filter (DPF) functions: Starts a forced regeneration, resets values after replacement, and learns a new pressure sensor.
• Injector coding: Programs the unique code of new injectors into the engine control unit for optimal injection.
• Throttle body learning (TBA/TPS): Resets adaptive values after cleaning, replacement, or power loss.
• Transmission adaptations (CVT/EGS): Restores learned values and shift points to optimize shift quality.
• EGR adaptation: Performs a learning procedure after cleaning or replacing the EGR valve.
• Fuel pump activation: Switches on the fuel pump, for example for bleeding or testing the fuel system.
• Crankshaft position sensor learning (CKP): Recalibrates the sensor after replacement or after installing a new ECU.

Brakes and chassis:

• EPB (electronic parking brake): Opens and closes the brake calipers when replacing brake pads and calibrates the system.
• ABS bleeding: Performs an automatic procedure to remove air bubbles from the ABS module.
• SAS (steering angle sensor): Calibrates the sensor to the zero position, necessary for correct operation of ESP/DSC.
• Air suspension calibration: Recalibrates the ride height sensors and adjusts the ride height.
• TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system): Registers new sensors and resets the warning light.

Body and electronics:

• BMS (battery management system): Registers a new battery with the correct capacity and properties in the vehicle.
• AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System): Calibrates adaptive lighting and level sensors after repair or replacement.
• Sunroof/Panoramic Roof Initialization: Resets basic settings and calibrates end positions.
• Seat and Window Calibration: Relearns automatic functions and end positions.
• Immobilizer (IMMO): Supports basic functions such as learning new keys and resetting the lock (brand and model dependent).
• Climate Control Adaptation: Restores the adaptive settings of the servomotors in the air conditioning system.

Special features and capabilities:

The NT530 Plus stands out with a number of special features that enhance diagnostic capabilities.

• Expandable with additional vehicle brands: The device comes with software for one brand but can be expanded with software for other brands for a fee. This offers a cost-effective way to increase vehicle coverage when needed.
• Coding and adaptations: Provides the ability to perform basic coding and adaptation functions. This allows components to be learned or vehicle settings to be adjusted after a repair.
• Bi-directional control: The active test function allows the user to send commands to the ECU to test the functionality of actuators and sensors without physical operation.
