OTR reset tool- are their any codes that it WONT bypass

Obviously if you have real mechanical issues like a leak or physically damage I don’t expect it to bypass those


But for sensor or circuit codes, particularly emission related , will the tool pretty much be able to bypass all of them?

I currently have multiple codes that I will attach in post

A lot SHOULD be covered under warranty but will it be best to just get the tool and run for a few weeks or get it fixed right away.
The truck currently(knock on wood) has not derated yet and i have driven 300 miles since the codes came on


I’m going to a dealership. Seeing the price and cost to fix. If it cost more than what the tool cost I plan to just buy the tool, but not if it won’t be able to bypass.

 

No experience with that product, but I don’t think it will help with the codes you have.
The 9 is for abnormal update rate. You may have a problem with a harness or possibly a failing acm.
Either way it’s probably going to get worse.

 

I pay for the yearly subscription. It not only allows you to clear codes but also will tell you the sensor needed to fix the issue etc etc.

Definitely worth it IMO if you have a basic tool set and don't mind crawling under the truck to change out a NOX sensor or something like that.

 

So you’re able to do the full diagnostic with it? The diagnostic Freightliner charges $400 for?

 

I have a peterbilt with Cummins. Haven't been to a shop/dealer one single time for aftertreatment codes since I've had the OTR tool which has been over 3 years now. Here is a screen shot of a recent code issue...

I cleared it once or twice then on the 3rd time it came on I knew the sensor was definitely bad, replaced, and it's never come on again.


Sometimes the codes are bogus "ghost codes" that's why I always clear them once ( or twice) if needed before wasting money on a new sensor.

Not sure about a 100% full diagnostic, but I'd say pretty close in terms of fault codes for DPF-aftertreatment issues...

IMO, one single use of the OTR tool per year more than pays for itself. Definitely wouldn't be rolling around the country without one. It's certainly peace of mind.

 

Here's another from when I needed a NOX sensor and truck was in derate mode.

 

I just bought one a month ago,they were on sale for $499,paid for itself already.

 

This video has a $100 off coupon code in the description for the reset tool. Not sure if it still works but worth a try if you plan on purchasing it.

 

Is this the one

 

Yes
