Autel AP200 Scanner Review on Kia Optima

  I got myself an Autel AP200 obd2 diagnostic scanner. I ordered it from obdii365.com, the package arrived in about a week. With regards to software, there are two options. Either download the official MaxiAP200 application from the market, where 1 free brand software will be available, the rest of the brands for $ 15 (for android), or go unofficially, where all brands will be available. I decided to go unofficially, since there are several options for opening all brands on google. 

As a result, we get a scanner with all open brands that do not need to be renewed every year, with the same functionality as in the official version, download the required brand and that's it.

Now with regards to the work of the scanner on the Kia Optima, what can he do.

When diagnosing, it sees 18 modules. (For example, ELM 327 sees only the engine, and the same 18 modules, which is not bad at all), namely:
1) Engine
2) Automatic transmission
3) Airbags
4) BCM (body system control unit)
5) EPB (electric parking brake)
6) TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
7) ESP, ABS
8) Air Conditioning
9) Immobilizer
10) AHLS (Lighting)
11) Code
12) EPS (Steering)
13) DDM (Driver Door Control Module)
14) ADM
15) SJB
16) SLU
17) PSM
18) Ecall

Reads information from these modules, current data, detects errors, can clear errors.
For example, the other day I struck the rear right wheel and put the spare tire. The TPMS on the tidy began to swear. The AP200 scanner also showed errors on the rear right wheel

It also has the function of registering new sensors in the unit.
I also decided to check how he can see errors on ABS. Whoever read my BZ knows that recently I myself eliminated a malfunction in ABS. I decided to experiment, took off the right front wheel and disconnected the ABS sensor, then performed diagnostics and the device identified a malfunction without any problems.

There are also service functions, for example, register tire pressure sensors or
move the rear brake pads.

But for some reason, the function of replacing the rear pads through the Kia Optima unit is not visible, it is only seen if, having selected the Kia Sportage car, but I will test this function when I change the rear pads.

Well, to summarize, I think that the Autel AP200 Bluetooth scanner is necessary for car DIYers.
Good luck to all.
