Using the Carista OBD scanner I was able to read stored ABS fault codes and pinpoint the faulty ABS sensor without replacing parts unnecessarily. I also test the Carista OBD diagnostic tool and show how it can unlock hidden features on your vehicles, including: Needle sweep / gauge sweep Lock/Unlock Chirp (if your car has it) Many different vehicle customisation options Although this video shows a VW Golf Mk7, the Carista OBD reader works on many different makes and models, making it a useful tool for DIY car diagnostics and fault finding.
