Topdon Topscan Testing And Review: The Best Automotive Scan Tool Under $100?? Let's Find Out!
Today we are doing an in depth review of the Topdon Topscan lite. This product was sent to us by the folks at Topdon and asked if we would do a review of it. We walk you through the app features and test many of its claimed functions on several different vehicles including: steering angle reset, battery registration, parking brake reset, active tests, live data, graphing, abs bleeding, and much more. We also compare several data points to what is given on a much more expensive scan tool. We give you the pros and cons of the tool as well as our overall thoughts of the product and the company.

    Very Good!! I use the MityVac mostly to flush the old fluid out. Also, when I use the MityVac, I leave the suction on while closing the bleeder.. Another tip, I have a vehicle that has M8X1.2 length 24mm brake bleeder. So ,I make an adapter, I ordered some M8X1.2mm length 31mm and slid a 6" clear plastic hose over the bleeder nipple with a small about of silicon rubber topped a with a small Zip Tie. No more air leaks and bubbles. Solution is to make adapters instead of using the rubber boots that come with the unit..

    My 2014 Honda Accord had these codes. I removed the black module (only 4 small screws and the wiring plug) and left the ABS pump body in. Since I didn't have to remove any break lines/tubes it saved me from having to bleed the brakes. I mailed the module into Module Masters and they sent it back in 3 days fully refurbished. $300 after shipping. Reinstalled it in 10 minutes, drove it around and the indicator reset itself after a few minutes. All fixed! Module Masters gave me a 5-year warranty on it. Easiest repair ever.
