How to use LAUNCH Creader Elite 2.0 BBA Activate VW Fuel Pump

Image
 Today, I had the opportunity to test out the LAUNCH X431 Creader Elite 2.0 BBA on VW TDI 2.0 to activate the fuel pump . It was a straightforward process, and I was impressed with how efficient the tool was. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how I did it. First, I made sure the Creader Elite 2.0 BBA scanner was connected to my VW using the OBD diagnostic cable. Once everything was plugged in, I turned on the device and went into the [Diagnose] section from the main menu. From there, I selected VW as my vehicle, then went into System Selection and chose 01 Engine Electronics. The tool quickly confirmed the diagnostic system and displayed all the vehicle info, which was pretty handy to double-check. Full function path : [Diagnose] — [VW] — [01 Engine Electronics] Next, I navigated to 04 Basic Settings, then selected Read By List and scrolled down to 035, Fuel Supply Pump Activation — ADJUST. Full function path : [04, Basic Settings] — [Read By List] — [035, Fuel S...

 Problem: I’m having trouble programming the sensors using LAUNCH i-TPMS . I used the i-TPMS Android app, selected Toyota sienna, and the year was correct. Then I selected the program manual and entered the id 12345678. The LAUNCH i-TPMS said it was programming, and while waiting I got an error: Activation failed. Solution: The ID number you mentioned is too random, and it should not be the original vehicle ID. There are two options when entering the ID number: 1. Automatic creation Select automatic creation, and the device will automatically add the ID. 2. Manual creation You need to obtain the original vehicle ID and fill it in manually. Note : Generally speaking, for a tire pressure sensor , the OE number is used to locate the vehicle model, and the ID number is an important parameter for the sensor to communicate with the vehicle. These numbers are sometimes written on the front and sometimes on the side. Neither [CMIT ID] nor [FCC ID] is the sensor ID. Example...
