Yes the iCarsoft gives details on the problems if you drill down on each
code. I don't know about your car but it will list all the various
nanny modules on the car, then you click on each one and it will
diagnose that module and show any issues, then you can click on each one
and it will tell you information about it, maybe some diagnostic
procedures as well depending on what it is.
These are indispensable tools for any cars later than like 1990,
anything that has electronic bits and an OBD port. I bought a cheap
adapter for the ICarsoft to plug into the round 38 pin diagnostic port
on the newer cars but I have not used it yet so not sure if it works or
not. It was like $15 on Amazon but there are cheaper ones on ebay that
might take a month to come from China.

There is a separate indicator light for Bludef.
Does the ICarsoft provide an explanation of each code or just the code
number?

Spend $150 on an iCarsoft (or similar) scanner. You’ll be glad you
