Advantages of vehicle diagnostic devices for different vehicle types

Vehicle diagnostic devices are essential for the maintenance and repair of all types of vehicles, be it cars , trucks or motorcycles . These devices enable the reading and deletion of error codes generated by the vehicle's control units using the error readers. With a high-quality vehicle diagnostic device, workshops and private users can quickly and precisely identify and resolve the cause of problems. Thanks to the comprehensive diagnostic options and the ability to program control units , professional diagnostic devices are indispensable tools for every workshop. Regular use of these devices extends the service life of the vehicle and increases operational reliability.

How professional diagnostic devices are revolutionizing vehicle maintenance

Professional diagnostic devices offer far more functions than simple OBD readers. They not only allow you to read and delete error codes with the error readers , but also to carry out live data tests and actuator tests. They also offer advanced functions such as calibrating control units and adjusting comfort functions. In today's world, where vehicles are becoming increasingly complex, such comprehensive diagnostic options are invaluable. With a professional diagnostic device, workshops can ensure that they are able to carry out even the most demanding repairs and maintenance work efficiently and precisely.

The role of OBD diagnostic devices in modern vehicle diagnostics

OBD diagnostic devices are standardized tools used in almost every modern vehicle. They allow you to read engine and emissions data and monitor various vehicle systems. With an OBD diagnostic device, potential problems can be identified early and resolved before they lead to major damage. These devices are of great use not only to workshops but also to vehicle owners. They offer an easy way to monitor the condition of the vehicle and carry out necessary maintenance work in a timely manner. Car diagnostics become more efficient and effective with OBD diagnostic devices.

Car diagnostics: key to long-term vehicle health

Car diagnostics play a crucial role in the long-term health and performance of a vehicle. By using modern diagnostic devices, mechanics and vehicle owners can make precise diagnoses and carry out targeted repairs. This saves time and money and helps extend the life of the vehicle. Modern car diagnostics not only include reading error codes with the error readers , but also analyzing live data, carrying out special tests and adjusting control units. With a reliable diagnostic device, you always have all the important information at hand to optimally maintain and repair your vehicle.

Dacia diagnostic devices – Vident iLink400 & iAuto701 for precise vehicle diagnostics

Over the past two decades, Dacia has evolved from an Eastern European niche brand to a fixture in the European automotive market. As a subsidiary of Renault, Dacia offers robust, affordable vehicles with proven technology – from the Sandero to the Duster to the Jogger. However, even though Dacia models are based on Renault technology, the electronic architecture differs in many areas. Anyone wanting to perform precise diagnostics on Dacia vehicles therefore needs diagnostic tools with targeted support for control units, special functions, and protocols. The Vident iLink400 and iAuto701 devices offer precisely this capability – reliable, comprehensive, and suitable for both professionals and private users.

Why Dacia models require a brand-specific diagnostic tool

At first glance, Dacia vehicles appear straightforward. However, complex systems interact in the areas of emissions control, on-board electronics, and comfort control. While the technical proximity to Renault offers advantages in terms of spare parts supply, diagnostics require the same system depth as is required for French group models. A standard OBD2 device is inadequate, especially for newer vehicles with Euro 6d-Temp standards, particulate filters, AdBlue injection, and modern driver assistance systems.

Anyone who wants to truly understand error codes, specifically address control units, or correctly perform resets after repairs needs a diagnostic tool with specific Dacia support – such as the Vident iLink400 or iAuto701.

Typical Dacia systems that require a specialized device:

BSI-like control units for comfort and central electronics
Diesel particulate filter (DPF) system with differential pressure-controlled regeneration
AdBlue injection on Blue dCi models
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) on Duster & Jogger
TPMS sensors with model-dependent calibration

Vident iLink400 – the Citroën-like system depth now for Dacia

The Vident iLink400 is a professional, brand-specific diagnostic tool that can be activated for Dacia vehicles. Once activated, the user has access to extensive diagnostic functions that go far beyond simply reading error codes. The device covers virtually all model series and platforms – from older models with the KWP protocol to modern vehicles with CAN bus and UDS communication.

Diagnostic functions of the iLink400 on Dacia:

Read and clear error codes in all main systems (engine, transmission, ABS, airbag)
Access to on-board power supply and central locking systems
Live data display with graphical representation
Service reset (oil change, inspection, brake fluid)
Particle filter monitoring including ash loading & regeneration
AdBlue system diagnosis with sensor test and remaining range display
Battery adjustment after replacement or charger operation
Steering angle sensor reset after chassis interventions

The iLink400 offers a manufacturer-specific diagnostic depth that makes even complex functions accessible – such as teaching actuators, controlling relays, or initializing individual actuators. Its robust housing and intuitive menu navigation make it ideal for workshops and mobile applications.

Who is the iLink400 suitable for?

Independent workshops: System depth at authorized workshop level – without expensive licensing models
Automotive technicians: Supplement to existing diagnostic technology for mobile operations
Private users: Maintenance, DPF regeneration, service resets on your own vehicle

Vident iAuto701 – Multi-brand solution with out-of-the-box Dacia support

The Vident iAuto701 is a multi-brand diagnostic tool with broad compatibility—ideal for users who service other vehicle brands in addition to Dacia. Software support for Dacia is pre-installed, so no additional activation or configuration is required. Navigation is intuitive, and system recognition for many Dacia models is automatic via VIN.

Typical functions of the iAuto701 for Dacia:

Read and reset error logs of all main systems
Real-time monitoring of sensor values (e.g. DPF, temperature, boost pressure)
Service functions: oil change, brakes, inspection
Reset electronic handbrake
Check and teach TPMS sensors
Battery adjustment after replacement
BSI-like functions for central locking and lighting module

The iAuto701 offers an excellent balance between brand diversity and diagnostic depth. This device is particularly attractive for workshops with many Renault or Dacia customers, as it is ready to use at no additional cost while offering extensive coverage.

What makes Dacia vehicles special in diagnostics?

Although Dacia models appear simple, they incorporate modern Renault technology with a complex software structure. The balancing act between low-cost strategies and current emissions standards results in mixed systems that often require model-specific adaptations. Particularly critical are:

FAP systems with non-standardized regeneration algorithms
AdBlue dosing systems that activate start prevention in the event of errors
BCM control units with different communication protocols
Airbag malfunctions that can only be deciphered using brand-specific DTC codes

Without the right diagnostic solution, such systems cannot be reliably maintained. Using a Vident device saves time, reduces misinterpretations, and lowers the costs of unnecessary component replacements.

For which Dacia models are the devices suitable?

Both Vident devices support almost all common Dacia vehicles:

Sandero / Sandero Stepway
Logan / Logan MCV
Duster (all generations, including Blue dCi and TCe)
Dokker / Dokker Express
Lodgy
Spring Electric
jogger

Both older models from around 2005 onwards and modern variants with the Euro 6d emissions standard are fully recognized and supported.
