It does read out a lot of parameters including any fault codes. You can start it “recording” and gather data for later playback. You can even do it while riding if you wanted too. But it does need a PC to run.
I used it to find out how the IACV operates from cold start to run when we were working on Dave’s idle problem.
A member in Raleigh, NC (name escapes me right now) used it (he bought one) to pull the code for his TPS problem. Remember? He/we couldn’t interpret the light flashes. Anyway he pulled the code, said TPS, and upon inspection, found a pin not seated correctly in the connector.
I’m not sure if it will clear stored faults. I may have to play with that. I have a stored fault on my ST from doing a throttle body sync. I could clear it 2 ways without a tester, but I should see if the Healtech will clear it.
I have never seen the HDS in operation but from looking at the manual I think it does more, like ABS diagnostics and I don’t know what else right off hand. I would imagine the HDS is pretty heavy duty though. Most dealer only stuff is.
