Will the IIDTool show which parts need to be replaced in order to solve a problem?
The tool will not point to which parts need replacing but it is the first line of defense when trying to diagnose a problem. Reading ECU’s fault, if the ECU registered some related to the issue, will help in finding the source of the problem. Other features like live values, service routines and others will [...]

Yes, it will work on any supported vehicles. Market/country specs do not prevent our products from working.
Why isn’t the IIDTool showing a system as being defective when it obviously is?
