We also received the customers’ consultation about the problems when using NT530. Here have collected some problems and related solutions. Hope it helps you!

 

1.Customer Problem: NT530 failed to calibrate sensor

I cannot calibrate sensor on my 2011 Cadillac CTS Luxury Sedan by nt530 scanner. When I used it, it only told me if the Brake Pedal Position Sensor is applied or released. I don’t see anywhere on this scanner that it can be calibrated.

 

Obdiitool.co.uk engineer solution:

The reason is Automatic identification is lack of body modules in current version, we will improve in the next version.

 

Please try to do the function by manual selection as the following path:

Manual Selection-> (B) 2011->Passenger car-> Cadillac-> CTS-> (Y) 3.0L V6 LF1-> 6-speed automatic-> Yes-> Other-> Control Modules-> Body control module-> Special functions-> BPP sensor calibration

 

2.Customer Problem: Foxwell NT530 doesn’t show the downloaded software icon

I have bought a Foxwell NT530. Order S/N.FW19111xxxxxx. When I received it, there was no problem with the package.
I successfully register and activate the scanner via FoxAssist.
I choose to update with the Mercedes software. After several try the downloaded has been successful (the decompression take more than one hour ) .
But every time I check the scanner, nothing that has downloaded in appear on the screen. Only “settings”, “data manager” and “update” buttons are present on the main menu.
When I check the SDcard with FoxAssist everything seems OK, the software are present, the SDcard is loaded with 1.43Gb but the scanner can’t detect them.
I try with another SDcard, but the result is exactly the same.

I noticed that you have updated the French language software, but your scanner language is still English,

0% at the top right corner means that it hasn’t entered the update mode, there is one “Update” on the menu interface, only after entering it can it start to update.
