Over 50 codes on first read
My Gap IIDBT arrived today & in one session has paid for itself.
Bought the car with suspension fault & steering / abs / brake / stability fault.
Set the tool up in no time at all.
Read the codes (LONG LIST) cleared codes & re read.
That brought up a much shorter list which included the steering angle sensor.
Reset the sensor, cleared codes again, re read & now just have two faults.
B1C57-14(2F) online advice seems to be that if the car starts dont worry its just a ghost code and B1B78-84 (2F) which relates to the air con pressure so might have a leak / need for a refill.
Went on a test drive & the suspension now works as it should & no steering / abs / stability faults.
Did come up with "suspension slow" so will keep eye out for that.
Photos below are pre clearing & while clearing but before calibrating steering sensor.
This is after clearing a few times, as reset & recalibration of the steering angle sensor.
Next job is too program two keys once they arrive.

Seen suspension slow on my old D3 and it turned out to be moisture in the compressor which freezes in the cold weather such as we have now "Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"

Plan to recon the compressor / moisture trap & the O rings in all the valve blocks so that should sort it.

You can usually ignore U codes unless there is something not working.
Just clear them and see what comes back

theres no suspension faults that would point to the various compressor issues that you get,
were you using it and used all the air ? it shows slow raising then i believe , make sure you need to do that work

Good point. I had just used the tool to drop all 4 corners and then empty the reservoir.
Will keep an eye on it.
