You might’ve noticed that we generally urge you to utilize our Coverage Checker before purchasing our products. This is to ensure that your vehicle is compatible with the features you’re looking for.

However, there’s a small 1% chance of the scanner not performing the features you need, even after confirming with our Coverage Checker.

If you've purchased our tool(s) after verifying its features, but discovered that it’s still incompatible with your vehicle, here's what you can do.

   See how a customer resolved an error by reaching out to our support team.

Why It May Happen

Before we delve into the steps needed to resolve your compatibility issue, let me briefly explain why this happens.

Our Coverage Checker is designed to be highly accurate, with a 99% success rate. However, due to the wide range of vehicle systems and variations in automotive technology, there can be rare instances where certain features may not perform as expected. These occurrences are typically due to the inherent complexity and variability found in modern vehicles. Additionally, vehicles equipped with aftermarket or non-OEM parts might occasionally experience discrepancies that wouldn’t arise with OEM components.

This can result in a rare discrepancy where the Coverage Checker indicates support for Feature X, but the feature is not available in the product.To address this, please follow the steps below. Most users find that these steps help resolve the issue effectively.

Follow These Steps

Step 1: Open the RS2 app

To report an issue, please open your RepairSolutions2 (RS2) app. Make sure you’ve created an account.

If you haven’t downloaded our app yet, you can download it in the app store (iOS or Android).

Step 2: Select the Data Capture feature

Once you’ve opened your app, navigate to settings and select a feature called Data Capture. This should be located at the bottom of your settings.
