Suggestion · Original poster

I recently went for the Schwaben scan tool so my later model 911 and Boxster/Cayman friends and I could clear our oil change reminders and service messages, but from what I can see so far, the only useful thing this tool does is read and clear diagnostic codes the same as my generic OBDII code reader.

The listing of scan tool functions shows the ability to reset service intervals on my 987 in the instrument cluster, but when I hook up to the OBDII port, it shows about everything except the IC.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I recently went for the Schwaben scan tool so my later model 911 and Boxster/Cayman friends and I could clear our oil change reminders and service messages, but from what I can see so far, the only useful thing this tool does is read and clear diagnostic codes the same as my generic OBDII code reader. I had high hopes, but I'm disappointed so far. Any success stories out there? I have connected to my 987 and also a friends 987, with the same "no connection" results so far. Is there a trick I'm missing?

POST 2Original post

You may want to check the water cooled forums ( 996/997/991 ...). this is for the first gen Air cooled cars. we don't have OBD.

POST 3Original post

The Schwaben is a good tool, but has many, many sub-menus. Perhaps it is buried under one of those? I have the Foxwell NT510 (same as Schwaben) for my BMW and I have seen the oil reset menu while working on my X5. That said, I have the POR II for my water cooled Porsches and it is a much easier use, and also resets the oil and other service reminders.

POST 4Original post

Not sure if this will help, but here is a sheet of all the functions of the Schwaben tool for the Porsche. https://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/images/boutique/porschescantoolfunctions.pdf

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The listing of scan tool functions shows the ability to reset service intervals on my 987 in the instrument cluster, but when I hook up to the OBDII port, it shows about everything except the IC. Most other controllers show up and I seem to have access to read and maybe change a few things if I want. I know this is a 911 forum and I'm trying to read a 987, but has anyone else tried this new tool with success on any water cooled car? I hope to try the same things on a 996 or 997 as soon as I can get with some friends.

POST 7Original post

Hi, I just posted a (new post)regarding the Shwaben scan tool, as I ordered it today but then read reviews that it would not re-set the Oil Service Reminder. I am in the process of trying to cancel the order, as Pelican lists it as "non-returnable", but still have hopes of maybe re-ordering it. One poster here has had success resetting their reminder but that was with a 997.2. I have a 2008 C2S Cab (3.8 engine), an earlier 997. Anyone have success with a 997 regarding this? 2 reviewers on the Pelican site reviews for this tool claim that it will NOT re-set the Oil Service reminder (as well as requiring downloading ZIP file(s) from China to register and update). Kind of iffy to open a zip file these days from an unverified source... Anyone here done that? Any help to: [email removed] will be faster---thanks to all!
