Thanks so much for doing this video. I bought the iLInk400 several months ago and have been playing around with it to learn all of the functions. I have searched for videos or instructions on how to use this scanner and have found very little info. The videos that are out there are mostly guys scrolling endlessly thru all of the options which is ok if you're looking to buy but does little for practical use of the scanner. The manufacturer support is limited to registering and downloading updates. I had to do the CKP relearn on my 2000 Blazer but didn't have the scanner at the time so cost me $250 at the garage. You're video has shown more than anything else I've seen. For the price it does have a lot of functionality. I've used mine to check fuel trims and O2 sensors but so far no PCM changes as I'm still learning and like you said you can change things with it that can leave you stranded if not careful. Hope to see more videos and good job.

Hi do you know if they’re bi-directional?

I got the Vident iLink 400 GM only version off Ebay after watching your video. I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and it threw a P0300 code. This little scanner was able to do the Crank Sensor Relearn and my code is gone. Money well spent!

[@rlstorment]

Did you have any issues? I've got a 2004 2500. I got to the "Accelerate to WOT.." , did that, and it just never seemed to learn.

[@MyLifeThai371]

You did not scroll all the way down when you got to the Power Train control module screen. Did it have the "camshaft relearn" function for when you replace the cam sensor? What about the throttle body position relearn?

[@FixingWithPassion]

Don't need to relearn a camshaft sensor. No such thing on this year. Crank is all you need to relearn with a new computer.

Nice! Wish I would got the newer one for the same price that includes radio programing.

[@mailpup]

It could be that the Trailblazer model will be included after you update the tool online. If not now, maybe later.

[@juiced71]

That’s great bro!! Seems like a handy tool to have !! My 02 has a evap light also I replaced the gas cap we shall see what happens but I almost think it’s the valve near the spare tire I only use it in the winter and summer I brake out the TBSS It’s awd however the 02 is 4wd and much better in the snow 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing how the scanner does on the evap code on yours Your easy to follow along with ! Some guys just show ya the scanner then skip right to the finish part I like know how everything works! Keep up the great work!!!

[@michaelashby868]

I watched your video and purchased a ilink400 myself. I'm curious if there are other functions. Rev limiter and other power inhancement? I just got my ilink today.

[@neptunepoolsserviceandrepa2529]

Was this the cheapest scan tool you found that would do the ckp variation relearn? Is the scan tool still working good?

[@FixingWithPassion]

Sill working!

[@MyLifeThai371]

This is the cheapest one I found on ebay for $156 new.

[@th3kings983]

Hi. Did you ended up changing the stereo ? And we’re you able to unlocked it.

[@FixingWithPassion]

I put a touchscreen in it. This tool does not unlock radios but does other things. I need one that does just that. You have to buy a another tool for radio unlocks ugh...

[@sschevmale24]

Make sure it works on 1996 models. My s10 didn't have a relearn crank position with this scanner

[@falafelandthings.4332]

Do you think that this scanner will work with my 2005 workhorse truck ( GM engine) vertic 6l v8 ? thank you for your time.

[@FixingWithPassion]

Depends on what your doing.

[@falafelandthings.4332]

@@FixingWithPassion nothing really special . Just to keep the truck in good mechanical condition & to be able to find accurate information to any problem or codes. and reading accurate live data. many thanks for your time.

I just returned mine because it arrived defective. It would power up but that's all. Too bad, it looked like a nice tool.

[@FixingWithPassion]

I wanted the one with the radio programmable one. Same price different model.

[@juiced71]

Ps if you get a chance and Remember can you look up a 2016 Chevy Malibu 1.9 eco I believe but the question is does the scanner show if it can disable autostart? It drives me NUTS!!! Would love to just delete it right out!! I can turn it off on the shifter but you have to do it every time you start the car ugh!!

[@nightstorm9128]

Just remove the fuse for the stop start and it will never bother you again...

[@juiced71]

@@nightstorm9128 man I wish it was that easy There are 2 trans fuses I will have to dig into for sure everything I have read says it can’t be disconnected however I believe the newer ones do have a switch to turn it off

Did you drive the vehicle for a little while after clearing the code If so did the code come back Thanks a lot

[@FixingWithPassion]

Nope 100 miles and still off!

[@allaccessshopping]

Excellent Love your videos learned a lot Thanks

[@nightstorm9128]

I have never heard of crankshaft sensor relearn...the sensor is just a Hall effect with the crank ring being just a big magnet...there's no reprogramming in it....just put in a new sensor and it works....

[@FixingWithPassion]

At least for My Trailblazer. Two things may have to be done after you install your E.C.M. First an anti-theft relearn may have to be performed. If this is the case the truck will not start. The second thing is that a crankshaft variation relearn may need to be performed once the vehicle is running. This will be evident if the check engine or service engine soon light comes on once the vehicle is running. You will need access to a scan tool capable of doing this procedure to do this and clear any related trouble codes (Code P0315). If this is not available to you a repair shop will have to perform this and clear the related trouble code. The vehicle will run normal but the ”service engine soon” light will come on and a trouble code will be stored until this is resolved. Instructions for both procedures will be included.

[@techmanok]

That is incorrect. When I rebuilt the engine in my 2000 Blazer I had to do a CKP sensor relearn. A relearn is required when the CKP sensor is replaced or taken out and put back in. The sensor reads the position of the reluctor wheel on the front of the crankshaft and sends to the PCM for timing and RPM's. The CEL will stay on until the relearn is performed.

[@redfury111]

@@techmanok the relearn procedure teaches the computer how much distance there is in the gap between teeth. The vehicle will run, but it won't run optimally without doing the relearn procedure. These procedures exist for a reason, much like you need to relearn other parts other than just replacing them....because the computer needs to know the variance in values the new part reports to the ECM.

[@emmakeyser1459]

I was about to put 1 in and found out you have to do a re-learn.I am getting this vident because the machanics in my area mess up everything they touch or they are to busy and you have to wait 2 weeks. 2002 GMC Yukon Denali 186000 mi.

No. Just basic stiff

[@alfmuss3]

I purchased a Ilink400 scanner. In the application setup/key test, The reboot key doesn't light up red or beep when pressed. It will reboot the tool if pressed for 3 to 5 seconds. But doesn't light up or beep in the application setup key test. Is this normal.

[@1969MAN]

Does the relearn thing work though because I’m looking super hard for something that can relearn after my engine emplacement

Wonderful...i have the same GM Vident ilink400 tool...was wondering if you or anyone found where i can "increase" the idle speed from 824 (factory setting) to about 950 RPMS?...and reprogram it to 950...can this tool work for that?

[@peterbrown8767]

I just want to make it clear before I say what I think about this product, I like this product. I just got the product yesterday and I went on to diagnose my car. The first and second test went well, but the third one the device froze two times when I try to use it. It connected to the car, but when I try to use the arrows again to move around, they would not move. I have two cars that are the same, so is not my car computer. Has anyone experience this problem? I have 30 days to return the item, and I have two other OBD's for other cars that can read the cars that the new OBD can, but no all. Another issue is the cable, I find it a bit loose that come from the OBD machine, and also I have to run the engine so the OBD can connect this causes me to use fuel while doing the test has anyone found these problems? Otherwise, a very good OBD it does many professional things, great product apart from what I encounter.

[@alfmuss3]

My new Ilink400 scanner. application setup/key test, The reboot key Bottom right side looks like a open book. It doesn't light up red or beep when pressed it the key test mode. It will reboot the tool if pressed for 3 to 5 seconds to escape freeze's.
