Comprehensive 3-System Diagnostics: Engine, ABS & SRS Airbag
When warning lights illuminate on your dashboard, the THINKSCAN Plus S2 helps you quickly scan for fault codes in the Engine, ABS, and SRS systems. This allows you to identify issues early—potentially saving significant repair costs before visiting a garage.
The THINKSCAN Plus S2 scans all three modules—Engine, ABS, and SRS Airbag—enabling you to read fault codes, pinpoint problems, and erase codes once repairs are complete.
What Is the “Maintenance” Reset Service Mode?
Beyond basic code reading, the reset service mode offers advanced functionality such as ECU activation, data rewriting, system calibration, adaptation, and component matching—helping you resolve complex vehicle issues directly.
28 Advanced Reset Functions – 2 Included Free for Life
While many reset procedures typically require a professional mechanic—at costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of pounds—some resets can be safely performed by DIY users. Examples include DPF Regeneration, EPB Reset, and SAS Calibration.
THINKCAR has invested heavily to develop this next-generation tool, offering 28 specialized maintenance reset functions. As part of a promotional offer, customers may select any two reset services for free, for life.
Additional reset functions are available for purchase at just USD 29.95 per function per year.
Note: Reset compatibility varies by vehicle. Please confirm availability before ordering.
To Verify Compatibility, Provide the Following:
- Your vehicle’s make, model, year, and 17-digit VIN (not license plate number)
- The specific reset service(s) you require
- If warning lights are active, send clear photos of the illuminated dashboard indicators
Example Maintenance Function: Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration
(Not included in the free selection—must be chosen or purchased separately in the scanner)
The SAS Calibration menu enables you to calibrate the steering angle sensor by storing the current steering wheel position as “straight-ahead” in the sensor’s EEPROM. Upon successful calibration, the sensor’s fault memory is automatically cleared.
Detailed System Coverage
Engine System
Diagnoses ignition, fuel injection, air-fuel ratio, and exhaust emissions to optimize performance, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce harmful emissions.
ABS System
Starts diagnosis with a visual brake inspection, then retrieves ABS fault codes to precisely locate issues—exactly what this scanner provides.
SRS Airbag System
The Safety Restraint System (SRS)—comprising impact sensors, a control module, and airbags—is fully diagnosable. The tool checks all electronic parameters to assess system health and readiness.
10 Full OBDII Functions

- Erasing Codes & Reset: Turns off the Check Engine Light (MIL), clears codes, and resets monitors.
- Data Stream: Reads and displays live ECU/PCM data, with graphical plotting and freeze frame storage.
- I/M Readiness Status: Confirms whether emissions-related systems are ready for inspection.
- Read Live Data Stream: Shows real-time vehicle data in live graphical (waveform) format.
- View Freeze Frame Data: Captures vehicle conditions recorded at the moment an emission-related fault occurred.
- O2 Sensor Test: Retrieves and displays results from the vehicle’s most recent O2 sensor monitor tests.
- On-Board Monitor Test: Displays test results for emission-related powertrain components and systems.
- Read Vehicle Information: Shows VIN, CID (Calibration ID), CVN (Calibration Verification Number), and more.
- Component Test: Actuates specific vehicle components via scanner commands to test operability.
28 Special Reset Functions – Two Free for Life
The THINKCAR Thinkscan Plus S2 supports 28 commonly used special reset functions, enabling quick access to vehicle systems for scheduled maintenance, service resets, and post-repair recalibrations—eliminating the need for costly dealer visits after resolving common issues.
Commonly Used Reset Services Include:
- Oil Lamp Reset Service: Resets the Engine Oil Life system after an oil change.
- EPB Electronic Park Brake Reset: Ensures safety and efficiency during electronic brake system maintenance.
- BAT Battery Service: Evaluates battery charge, monitors close-circuit current, registers battery replacement, and activates vehicle rest state.
- DPF Diesel Particulate Filter Reset: Supports DPF regeneration, component replacement teach-in, and post-ECU replacement relearning.
- SAS Steering Angle Sensor Reset: Clears fault memories and aids in sensor calibration.
- TPMS Tire Pressure Monitoring System Reset: Displays sensor IDs, inputs replacement IDs, and tests TPMS sensors.
- IMMO Key Programming: Disables lost keys and programs new key fobs (includes PIN code reading).
- ABS Bleeding: Performs brake bleeding to restore firm pedal feel after ABS pump repairs.
- Sunroof Reset: Required after sunroof control unit replacement or communication issues.
- Suspension Reset: Resets electronic air suspension systems (ensure all doors are closed and follow on-screen prompts).
- Gearbox (Transmission) Reset: Resets transmission adaptive learning; ECU and TCU relearn driving patterns after reset.
- AFS Headlamp Reset: Recalibrates adaptive front-lighting systems.
Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS)
'AFS' means Adaptive Front lighting System (at night with the Bi-Xenon headlights) it swivels either side, pressing that button means they stay pointing straight ahead and don't turn when you turn the steering wheel.
13. Injector Coding
Leaking injectors and some dead injectors can be missed even when an injector is disabled. Other problems with the ignition system and mechanical components also may not show an rpm loss when an injector is turned off.
14. Throttle Adaptation
The throttle body is a tube containing a pivoting flat valve (butterfly) that is used to control the amount of air entering an engine. In an electronically fuel injected car, a throttle position sensor and air flow sensor communicate with the computer, which supplies the corresponding amount of fuel needed at the injectors. It must need re-learning throttle sensor position after clearing or repair.
15. Gear Learning
The scan tool monitors certain camshaft position sensors signals to determine if all conditions are met to continue with the procedure for Engine running.
16. EGR Reset
Reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas and improve fuel economy at partial load.
17. A/F Reset
This function is applied to set or learn Air/Fuel ratio parameters.
18. AdBlue Reset (Diesel Engine Exhaust Gas Filter)
After the diesel exhaust treatment fluid (car urea) is replaced or filled up, urea reset operation is required.
19. Airbag Reset
This function resets the airbag data to clear the airbag collision fault indicator.
20. Coolant Bleeding
Use this function to activate the electronic water pump before venting the cooling system.
21. AT Learning
This function can complete the gearbox self-learning to improve gear shifting quality. When the gearbox is disassembled or repaired (after some of the car battery is powered off), it will lead to shift delay or impact problem. In this case, this function needs to be done so that the gearbox can automatically compensate according to the driving conditions so as to achieve more comfortable and better shift.
22. Language Change
This function is used to change the system language of the vehicle central control panel.
23. NOx Sensor Reset
NOx sensor is a sensor used to detect the content of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in engine exhaust. If the NOx fault is re-initialized and the NOx catalytic converter is replaced, it is necessary to reset the catalytic converter learned value stored in the engine ECU.
24. ODO Reset
a) ODO reset is to copy, write, or rewrite the value of kilometers in the chip of odometer by using a car diagnostic computer and data cable, so that the odometer shows the actual mileage.
b) Usually when the mileage is not correct due to the damaged vehicle speed sensor or odometer failure, it is necessary to do ODO reset after maintenance.
25. Stop/Start Reset
This function is used to open or close the automatic start-stop function via setting the hidden function in ECU (provided that the vehicle has a hidden function and supported by hardware).
26. Seat Calibration
This function is applied to match the seats with memory function that are replaced and repaired.
27. Transport Mode
In order to reduce power consumption, the following functions may be disabled, including limiting the vehicle speed, not waking up the door opening network, and disabling the remote control key, etc. At this time, the transport mode needs to be deactivated to restore the vehicle to normal.
28. Windows Calibration
This feature is designed to perform door window matching to recover ECU initial memory, and recover the automatic ascending and descending function of power window.
