I'm looking at a new scanner. Top Don, ArtiDiag900 Lite. My Snap On Solus Pro can not do ALC reset or rear lift gate diagnosis.
Does anyone know if this new scanner will do the ALC reset and lift gate diagnostics?

I had the little topdon 50$ dongle. it was nice for a year. but I haven't renewed it. could buy a new one for half what a renewal costs lol.

it seemed to do a lot of stuff, I don't remember if it did hatch thou. acl is the mag ride reset? I have a tech 2 so I used that to reset mine. I only really used the top don for quick phone stuff while driving. like check tranny and my hybrid info. and other manufacturers like my neighbors Ford and the ford's at work.

I picked up the new gear wrench dongle for work, it's more at 150$ but never expires/free updates, plus I got work to pay for it haha. I can check if does the hatch and stuff for you. but won't be back at work till Wednesday to get it.

For simple stuff, I use Torque Pro.
For deeper stuff I have a Slous Pro but I have found it is lacking a few things I would like to have like ALC reset.
Maybe for a 2007 with Z55 there is no ALC, Trim height, Bump stop reset?
Maybe the module is bad and not working at all so i have no option for it?

I don't know about the 07. my 11 definitely does. might need to check with a tech 2.

for 300$ they feel worth picking up?

Ordered the new TopDon scanner.
Should be able to sell the snap-on locally and almost pay for the new one.

A guy can not simply buy a new scanner and not report on how it works.

I looked at a lot of reviews and almost all were positive a few mediocre but not bad. I checked ScanerDanner, Ivan and South main they had no info on it I could find.
The ArtiDiag900 Lite is usually priced about $450. It's on sale for $299 on Amazon right now.

I would have bought a Tech 2 but I work on other brands for people sometimes also.

I think I used that very TOPDON a couple of weeks ago on an old Dodge Ram and Cadillac SRX. It did everything we needed it to do, testing fuel pumps and injectors and such. My Tech-2 stayed in the box that day, can't work on those two cars. I did use my MDI to program the fuel pump control module on the SRX and did not try to use the TOPDON.
