1. הקדמה
This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for the operation and maintenance of your Sealey VS8812 EOBD Code Reader. This device is designed to provide fast and easy access to On-Board Diagnostics (EOBD) codes for petrol vehicles manufactured from 2001 onwards and diesel vehicles from 2004 onwards. It helps identify the cause of the illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), commonly known as the engine check light.
The VS8812 is a CAN-enabled tool capable of retrieving generic P0, P2, P3, and U10 codes related to engine emissions, as well as manufacturer-specific P1, P3, and U1 codes. It can turn off the MIL light, clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and reset monitors. The device supports the new extended sensor list (SAE J1979 2007) and provides access to live data streams from engine and transmission modules, including O2 sensor data. It also stores freeze-frame data for later evaluation and includes I/M Readiness functionality with color-coded LEDs to assist with emissions testing preparation.
