Actual HFT associate here just want you to know we LOVE this video and me and my associates actually appreciate you breaking everything down. We sometimes are not able to put our hands on these items as we are on CS Center side and work from home so watching this really helps the new guys understand this item more and we get a great laugh. 😂😂
This was honestly the best tutorial on how to navigate and the abilities it can offer . Just picked up today on the 20% sale unfortunately but got it for my truck 2007 Nissan titan xe will post how good it works once i start it up 🆙
I have a 2015 1500 Silverado 5.3L. I have a missfire and it’s a random missfire and need to find if it’s fuel related or if I need to replace my cam or what. Is this the scanner to see what all would determine the issue
Really appreciate this video! Fun to watch, and really informative. I went with the Innova 5160Rs, and have mixed feelings about it as well. While the Repair Solutions software is cool, I have a long list of things I'd like it to be able to do (even as a reasonably-priced upgrade) like notes, service history, etc. that would make it much more helpful to me as a doofus in my Messy Garage, trying to keep the family fleet running. There's also a bug for me (at least on the Android tablet I've installed RS2 on) where I can't see the additional info for a 2nd/3rd code, so the first code is the only place I can see the (occasionally very-helpful) suggestions. Anyway, thanks for the great content!
@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 The RS2 software doesn't seem to have a limit (which is nice). I don't know if I've noticed what the handset unit has saved internally. Will check.
Innova makes Zurich. Most scan tools will have a list of cars they support on their website and some specialize in just a few brands but go deep, like Ross-Tech's VCDS Factory level tool for $200 (3 VINs) and you can do adaptations, remote function check, re-learn for VW, Audi cars. For DIY you can't go wrong with a Bluetooth dongle and an app on your phone. $20-50
I have a 1995 Land Cruiser…you mention just get the cheap code reader if it’s an older car..why is that? I have abs and srs codes I need help diagnosing but don’t want to spend the money on a code reader if it won’t help pinpoint the issue
Firstly, make sure your LC is obd2- 1995 is iffy since 1996 was when obd2 became mandatory. If you’re not obd2, this scanner is of no real value to you. Secondly, the abs and srs codes are likely accessible with out any scanners by jumping pins and counting flashes. Not a LC guy but I’m sure there’s tons of info out there on how!
It is obd2 so it must be a late 95 model. I guess my question was related what I thought you said about the older “Supra” and how the obd2 doesn’t have pro great on them? Or did I misunderstand? Thanks for getting back to me
@@MJ-ex8dl Ah. That’s because it doesn’t have enough modules to justify a fancy scanner. It has the ECM for engine/transmission codes (which a cheap scanner can handle no problem) and an SRS and ABS module which you can just read by jumping two pins and reading the flashes on your dashboard. You’d be wasting your money on a fancy scanner! Unless you have newer more complex cars as well.
good day ,,, I have a ??? Does this work on a 2021 tundra sr5??? I've been trying it for a TPMS code, I change rims from summer custom wheels to winter OEM rims?????
The entire Zurich line has felt pretty outdated for a while. Made sense back when they only had to complete with X-tool, Autel, and random Ebay code readers, but the landscape is a whole lot more competitive these days. A Topdon Topscan has arguably more functionality for about 1/3rd the price. If you already need to link a phone for some of the functionality, why not have a more compact, fully wireless solution? Plus the lack of Electronic parking brake functionality is a deal-breaker for me. I wouldn't spend $150 without at least getting the ability to do my own rear brakes on a newer vehicle.
@@MrAboutLife I bought the Zurich ZR13S and it does work to test the charging system of my Toyota 4Runner 2002. Does it work for all vehicles? Probably most.
Nice and informative video! One question, is this able to read transmission oil temperatures? I couldn’t see on the live data screen. Just want to be 100% sure. Thank you
Numerous people have pointed out that Autel may make the Zurich scanners, but I can’t confirm that. It’s a lower trim level LFA. They didn’t all come with V10s. I’m not rich, ya know.
Great video in many respects. I bought one of this model thinking it could be handy as I set out to shop for used cars. Am I inferring correctly that with a tool like this (or even without...jumping pins) that someone can clear the error lights without having repaired the problem? And if so, scanning with the tool again will find that out for me?
Those lights aren’t for showing a possibly fault.its for emission.when its yellow it’s telling u it may not pass a emissions test when u go to get a inspection sticker
@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 O well nobody knows everything just ones I’ve used similar to that was like I was saying but looking at ur video again and watching u go through the app it shows on the app that the light being red means it’s not ready for a emission test and would fail like I was saying so where both correct it tells u what u was saying and also tells u what I was saying
Your level of knowledge of cars and how the ZR13S device operates are far ahead of me, I was lost throughout this video. I don't know what all the acronyms mean such as OBD2 and what "jumper some pins" means, for example. Maybe you could make another video aimed at novices such as myself, it would be appreciated. I got the app installed on my phone and enabled it's Bluetooth, but pairing was not working out for me. I'm discouraged.
This is a tool for mechanics. If you don’t know those terms, I think the cheapo dongle would be more than enough for your needs and probably less frustrating. No offense intended.
Neat i didnt find the graphs. Thiught they were all gatekept on the scanners with tablet screen. Wait. I just heard derrick from vice grip garage come out his mouth. We are gonna do the right thing, proceedes to kinda sorta or not really do the right thing heheh Lets just pretend we didnt see that. We didnt get an update if it was the gas cap or not.

Good demo using so many different cars from different years. Results will vary from what you shared.
I bought this last year. So far great still learning it. My sons car has 2 converter so failed emissions. Smh
enjoyed the vid, 'misleading' on the ev battery test is an understatement, i think 'dishonest' is a better word to use.
Love your work, as a former tech there's so many subtle jokes many may not pick up on. Good review also.

Does the innova save more than three vehicles? The Zurich makes you re-enter the first one if you enter a fourth.

Do you know how to completely factory reset this thing? I want my vin out!
I had to comment like subscribe just based on the humor. The descriptions were great too but this is top tier with the 1911 in the cup holder

These look identical to the Innova scanners. Everything down to the Ui to the hardware design of the reader

Does this device reset battery when changing battery on an Audi Q3 2018?
Will this reader do battery registration?

I was looking at the ability to check the battery and alternator charging system. The one below this doesn't seem to have this capability.
Does this one in video have those options for alternator checking ?

It’s Kobe when it hits the ground… cobain when you make it cause he didn’t miss his last shot
😏
mileage isn't transmitted over odb2?!
Mine also came in the box scratched, I think that is due to them not putting plastic over the screen
When you get in the car and your knees are in the dash 😂
TH-cam can afford you an LFA , a Bentley and a 99' Supra, nice. I need a pro scanner like the Thinktool or Autel 9.
Can it reset battery status after replacing battery?
Nice and informative video! One question, is this able to read transmission oil temperatures? I couldn’t see on the live data screen. Just want to be 100% sure. Thank you
Not on my vehicles- need the ZR15S for that. Check this out for more specific compatibility: www.harborfreight.com/zurich-diagnostics
Any videos that show you how to reset air bag light on a toyota by jumping the pins ?
In my experience the only way to do that is to fix the actual fault. I don’t believe that system has memory, it self tests every time you turn it on.
Does it read engine maintenance Lights and say what it is
Does this tool do brake service mode?
This guy is funny as shit. Great video man. Helpful also.
Does it scan for ac faults
Will this scanner wind in the electronic parking brake on a 2021 CRV so I don’t have to by hand
No, but the ZR15S should
@@thedoubtfultechnician8067 Thanks
The ZR15S definitely retracts the Electronic Emergency Brake, I went out bought 1 , updated it, & used it with no problems
Another good one. In my case Autel for the win. I know more money but hasn't failed me yet. BTW Wife's LFA may be short a few cylinders.
Numerous people have pointed out that Autel may make the Zurich scanners, but I can’t confirm that.
It’s a lower trim level LFA. They didn’t all come with V10s. I’m not rich, ya know.
Thanks man, good information
Well now I know where to get a new cable for my PSP slim, thanks
Will this scanner do a crankshaft relearn?

Innova makes those scanners
Explains the button and screen layout along with the beeps sounding just like the innova scanners.
Love your videos.🤘 Lexus LFA. I’m ROFL. 😂
Fkn funnnnnny. You gone blow up 💥
Dam u did kobe dirty lmao but it was a good 1, jus bought this myself works well and for half the price of the zr15s
1911 *and* Mr. Garand’s … outstanding.
Bro. Nanna is cool!💪🔫
Obdeleven for vag cars is amazing
I buy it ZR15S not bad, but Launch but launch is much better
Is that an M1 garand or an M1A?
Hold on let me text nana and ask her
She says “it’s a garand, what do they teach you kids in school??”
😊.Im a sport shooter myself.Mostly bolt actions though.
Mine was scratched also

5:28 Nana is Based AF LOL 😂❤
I think you need to update the tool.
@0:50 "We have AVE at home."
It's exactly like the Innova 5610 or 5410.
ZR13s is not bidirectional like the Innova 5610 the ZR15 is, and from the looks of it, this Zurich is just rebranded Innova for harbor freight.
Blue Driver does all that for around $100
You got me with the patriot pills in the floorboard. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
shouldnt be scratched on protector either
