Foxwell NT530 Plus Car Diagnostic Tool

The Foxwell NT530 Plus is an advanced Diagnostic Tool that offers OE-level functionality for specific vehicle brands. The device supports full system diagnosis, bi-directional tests, and various maintenance functions. At purchase, one brand software is included, such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Volkswagen, with the option to add additional brands for a fee. This makes the device flexible for workshops working with multiple vehicle platforms.

The compact design features a bright 2.8-inch color screen, a sturdy housing, and storage options via SD card. Thanks to support for bi-directional tests, maintenance functions, and system coding, the NT530 Plus offers extensive functionality within a portable format. The diagnosis is performed via the OBD2 connector and updates can be done via PC or Wi-Fi. This makes the device both practical and future-proof for daily garage use.

Diagnostic functions:

• Full system diagnosis: Reads and clears fault codes in all electronic modules, including engine management, transmission, ABS, airbags, steering, instrument panel, body, climate control, and comfort systems.
• Read ECU information: Displays technical data of the selected module, such as software version, part number, and serial number.
• Read fault codes: Detects stored, temporary, and permanent fault codes in all supported systems.
• Clear fault codes: Removes fault codes from the system memory after repair, resetting warning lights.
• Display live data: Displays real-time values of sensors and systems, both in text and graph form.
• Freeze frame data: Presents vehicle data from the moment a fault code was generated, providing support for targeted fault analysis.
• Auto-scan function: Performs an automatic diagnosis on all available systems of the selected brand vehicle for a complete overview of the vehicle status.
• Fault code descriptions in detail: Provides detailed explanations of fault codes, including cause and possible consequences.
• Brand-specific access: Supports model- and brand-dependent protocols, including access to brand-exclusive modules such as CAS (BMW) or EZS (Mercedes-Benz).
• Actuator tests (bi-directional): Activates components via the scanner, such as valves, relays, or pumps, to manually test their operation.
  

Maintenance and service functions:

The Foxwell NT530 Plus is a versatile Diagnostic Tool offering extensive service and reset functions depending on the selected vehicle brand. The scanner comes standard with one brand license but can be expanded with additional brands of choice. Below is an overview of the most commonly used maintenance functions:

• Oil service reset: Resets the oil interval indicator after an oil change.
• Electronic parking brake reset (EPB): Puts the brake calipers in service mode for brake pad replacement and reactivates the parking brake.
• ABS bleeding: Removes air from the ABS system, necessary after brake repairs or brake fluid replacement.
• Steering angle sensor calibration (SAS): Calibrates the steering angle sensor after replacement or wheel alignment.
• TPMS reset: Reinitializes the tire pressure monitoring system after tire changes or sensor replacement.
• DPF regeneration: Forces regeneration of the diesel particulate filter in vehicles with a soot filter.
• Injector coding: Programs new injectors into the engine management system after replacement.
• Battery registration: Registers a new battery to ensure correct charging and energy management functions.
• Throttle body relearning: Recalibrates the throttle body for optimal air management in the intake system.
• Transmission adaptation reset: Resets the learned values of the automatic transmission to factory settings.
• Headlight adjustment: Adjusts the position of the headlights after installation or vehicle height change.
• Air suspension calibration: Calibrates the air suspension system for correct ride height and operation.
• Seat memory calibration: Calibrates memory functions of electrically adjustable seats.

Note: The exact number and type of maintenance functions depend on the brand and model of the vehicle read with the NT530 Plus. For full compatibility, it is recommended to check in advance which functions are available for the intended vehicle type.

Programming and coding functions:

• ECU coding (brand-dependent): Adjust parameters within control units, such as activating or deactivating comfort functions, lighting, sound signals, or start-stop systems. Supported for e.g. BMW (E-series/F-series), Mercedes-Benz, and VAG.
• Control unit learning: After replacing a module (e.g. ABS, steering angle sensor, or airbag module), modules can be reconnected or learned into the vehicle network.
• Component coding: Code new or replacement components, such as injectors, EGR valves, power steering pumps, or transmission modules.
• Key learning (selective, brand-dependent): Provides basic support for programming spare keys or synchronizing keys after replacement of ECU or CAS modules (especially for older BMW/MINI models).
• Adaptation value adjustment: Reset or reinitialize learned values of systems such as throttle position, transmission, turbo, or fuel injection to restore factory settings.
• Retrofit support: Adjust vehicle configurations when installing additional modules, such as parking sensors, electric tow bar, or LED headlights (if supported).

Additional features:

• Automatic vehicle identification (AutoVIN): The vehicle is automatically recognized via the VIN number, making manual brand and model selection unnecessary.
• Data recording and playback: Record live sensor values (PIDs) while driving or testing and play them back later to analyze intermittent faults.
• Save and review data: Diagnostic data such as fault codes, freeze frame data, or service reports can be saved to the SD card and accessed later.
• Multi-graph display: Two live parameters can be displayed simultaneously in graph form for visual comparison, for example engine speed versus throttle position.
• Graph merging: Multiple PID signals can be displayed in a single composite graph to recognize trends or deviations more quickly.
• Print data via PC: Test reports and diagnostic results can be exported and printed via the FoxAssist software on the computer.
• Track vehicle history: The NT530 Plus stores previous diagnostic sessions, so you can easily retrieve reference data for repeated faults or maintenance.
• Software updates via FoxAssist or Wi-Fi: Updates for vehicle support and bug fixes can easily be performed via the FoxAssist tool or directly via Wi-Fi (if supported).
