FAQs

Can this scanner be used on non-Volvo or Saab vehicles?

No, the iCarsoft i906 is specifically developed for Volvo and Saab vehicles and will not provide accurate diagnostics for other makes or models.

What does 'full system diagnosis' mean?

It means the scanner can access and diagnose issues across all major electronic control units (ECUs) in compatible vehicles, not just the engine control module.

How do I update the scanner's software?

The i906 can be updated by connecting it to a computer using the provided USB cable and visiting the iCarsoft website for firmware updates. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.

Does the i906 support ABS or Airbag system diagnostics?

Yes, the i906 supports full system diagnosis, which typically includes ABS and Airbag systems for compatible Volvo and Saab models.

What is the benefit of reading live data streams?

Live data streams allow you to monitor real-time sensor readings and system parameters (e.g., engine RPM, coolant temperature, oxygen sensor voltage) which can be crucial for diagnosing intermittent problems or performance issues.

How long is the OBD II cable?

The included OBD II cable is 6 feet long, providing ample reach to connect the scanner to your vehicle's diagnostic port.

Is a user manual included with the product?

Yes, a hardcopy user manual is included with the iCarsoft i906, providing detailed instructions on its operation and features.

Troubleshooting

Scanner does not power on

Ensure the OBD II cable is securely connected to both the scanner and the vehicle's port. Verify the vehicle's ignition is in the ON position. Check the OBD II port for any damage.

Unable to communicate with the vehicle

Confirm your vehicle model and year are supported by the i906. Ensure the correct communication protocol is being used by the vehicle. Try a different OBD II port if available on your vehicle.

Screen is unresponsive

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the OBD II cable. If the issue persists, perform a soft reset by powering off the scanner and then back on.
