Should a autoscan be done with car running or not?
With car running i see more faults found with no symptoms then when running scan with car off.
Should i ignore those faults and focus on scan with car off? If so why are these faults generated?

It was just in general, Is it sufficient to run scans with car off.

In general, it is not sufficient to ask questions without posting the AutoScan ;)

Please show us both scans so we can see the difference.
