I am a noob to the forum. We are working on my brother's 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and need to get the control access to the air suspension. Wondering if anyone has used the Harbor Freight Icon T7 scanner to work on their Jeep for diagnosis and controls. Want to get him this scanner if it will help him out. He's been having a rough go the last several months, and I am trying to help him where I can. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Thank you. I will look into it. I don't think that it will have the special controls needed to independently run systems like the air suspension from the scanner. We need to shift the nitrogen to the tank for the air suspension. That can be done with higher-end scanners, just not sure if the Icon has that ability. But that will be good for him for standard stuff.

I don’t know that one, but would suggest looking into JScan app, couples with Bluetooth adapter

Yeah,
Thanks for the suggestion. I did start looking at the Autel's. I saw that the ones showing adjustment of the air suspension were using an autel MaxiSys, which is over $2K, not sure if the $400 version will do the air suspension tweeks. But I think the AlfaOBD software will do what I need. It's about $57, and you need to use a gateway security bypass cable, which I learned in the research I have been doing. Thanks for the suggestion. As much as a scanner would be nice, with the yearly required subscriptions on them, I don't do enough wrenching, so I am now thinking it wouldn't be worth it.

Thank you. After quite a bit of research, that's the way it looks like we are going. It would cover his vehicle. And would drop the cost quite a bit compared to a scanner and future updates. We wanted to see if we could adjust the shocks independently so we could troubleshoot which part of the system is the problem. We have a good idea, the software will make it easier.
