Welcome to Snap-on Training Solutions. This module is designed to help you get the most out of your MODIS Edge diagnostic tool, and covers the vehicle specifications and reset operations.
The Oil Specifications and Resets icon is located on the Home screen. Oil Specs and Resets are an integrated Wi-Fi function that provides up-to-date OEM information on your diagnostic tool, via wireless network connection to the Snap-on network. This feature allows you quick access to the following OEM information:
- Fluid capacity and specifications
- Scanner functional resets
- Service reset procedures and information
Please note the following:
- Oil Specs and Resets vehicle coverage is the same as the Scanner vehicle coverage
- Not all vehicles may have on-board diagnostic tool reset capabilities, or have information available
- To use the Oil Specs and Resets feature you must have the current software upgrade installed on your diagnostic tool
- The diagnostic tool is equipped with the ability to connect to a Wi-Fi network, however the connection is solely dedicated to the Snap-on network. Before you begin using an integrated Wi-Fi function you must turn on the Wi-Fi and select the wireless network connection
- If you experience a wireless network connection loss, Oil Specs and Resets information will not refresh or may cause the function to stop. To continue use, you must re-establish your Internet connection
- Performance may vary depending on your wireless network equipment and Internet Service Provider
An alternate method of access is from within a current Scanner session - select Oil Specs and Resets from the Select Systems Menu.
After the vehicle is identified, let’s have a look at what we can expect. In our case we chose a 2012 BMW 328i. Instructions and screens will vary by vehicle.
After the Fluid Capacity screen displays, navigate to either of the following options:
- Perform a service interval reset using the diagnostic tool
- View OEM service reset instructions and related information
Selecting Fluid Capacity displays OEM recommended fluid specifications.
