A must have for any car owner!
Amazing product! Save hundreds of dollars from buying this inexpensive tool, this is a must have for any car owner whether you know how to fix cars or not you NEED to own one. Installation is very easy, you just need to find the On Board Diagnostics (OBD) port on your vehicle, if you have issues finding the port you can always just refer to your car manual or via google search which normally tends to be a lot quicker than flipping through your manual. But just find the port, connect the dongle to the port and then turn your ignition on and done! Absolutely no batteries necessary. You can now view if there are any codes thrown or issues with your engine or ECU. Navigating through the menu is quick, easy and smooth, you can look up diagnostic trouble codes (DTC), I/M readiness status test for checking if you will pass emissions, O2 sensor test, onboard monitor test, read descriptive codes, clear codes and more! Thankfully I was fortunate to receive this product almost right before my car threw a Check Engine Light (CEL), plugged this bad boy in, saw the pending issues with random misfirings between cylinder 1 and 2. Had the ignition coils, wires and spark plugs replaced on both cylinders, cleared codes, CEL is gone and my car is up and running again! Saved me a trip to my local mechanic to have it looked at and having to pay $150 for their “full” point-to-point inspections before having any work done. Save some money and buy this tool! It’ll help you easily to decide whether or not you even need to have your vehicle serviced professionally either by your local shop or dealership whom will constantly up sell you or rip you off regardless of the issue, JUST BUY IT!

Accurate and easy to use
This is a good instrument for the price. I found it accurate and easy to use. I gave it a 4 only because I was not able to erase a code once the problem was corrected and the check engine light was out.

Great Universal Auto Scanner at a Really Good Price
The “Automotive Engine Fault Code Reader” by OBDScar is exactly what I needed… a simple inexpensive way for me to know what was wrong with my cars BEFORE they went into service. This way I could make sure the mechanic wasn’t selling me a bag of sh*t. Seriously, the OBDScar reader is really easy to use and to read. The cord is long enough that I don’t have to hang out under my dash to read it and it has a bright color LCD for its readouts. The menu structure is simple and easy to navigate. Now I’m able to clear codes and reset some monitors instead of taking it to the dealer or my mechanic. This has saved me money and given me peace of mind. I’m very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.

A+++ company
Just received today. Shipped and delivered on time as promised. Scanner arrived intact and packaged well. Read the user manual really quickly and got to reading and diagnosing my trouble codes. It found another code that my wireless Bluetooth code reader never found. Very happy with my purchase, it does everything I wanted and more. And the price was perfect. Better than what the pros have because it can do everything we consumers need and way way way cheaper than theirs. Have already recommended you guys and will continue to do so. Received a free splitter cable as well just a few days later which was awesome. This company is top notch, they reply super fast, genuinely care about each individual customers happiness and won’t stop going above and beyond until you are happy. Looking forward to doing more business with these guys.

Saved me hundreds
This OBD reader has saved myself (and coworkers) hundreds of dollars. I do a lot of my own maintenance work on my cars, in some instances I can do the repairs and some I take it to a shop. Knowing the code before showing up to the shop may save you a lot of money. I will explain below.Even if you don’t do a lot of mechanics this is a good little tool to have. I decided to get one after my wife had a check engine light come on, she took it to a dealer and paid the $30.00 fee to have it diagnosed. They said it was an exhaust system sensor malfunction and a big portion of the exhaust was needing replacement, this repair was quoted at $800.00. We could not afford that at the time so that night I came to Amazon and purchased this unit as it was quick shipping and a decent price. It came in a few days.I plugged it into my wife’s car and was shocked when I saw that the check engine light was due to the gas cap not being on right after she refueled the morning it turned on. I literally walked to the drivers side unscrewed and screwed the cap back in and bam light turned off.I am not saying all mechanics are sketchy, but this saved us hundreds. I have since used it for co-workers who have had lights come on. I have helped them replace parts as well.My Recommendation:I would recommend, even if used once every so often you could be potentially saving yourself a lot of money.

LIMITED USAGE FOR CERTAIN VEHICLE’S. BUYER READ ALL SMALL PRINT.
The interface is fairly intuitive and, once you have the hang of it, easy to navigate. Update on scan tool. I was checking my fuses and had two blown on GMC. Once replaced the scan tool worked. And I now have found out what my problems are with truck. The tool works well but some things aren’t supported. If you want all the abilities to test the vehicle, you’ll need a different OBD

Easy to Use. Good Value for the Price
I ordered this about a month and a half ago. I wanted to use it a few times before giving a review. I have 2 vehicles and the reader seems to work accurately and easily. If you work on cars even a little bit, (which is me) it’s well worth it to have one of these so you’re not running back and forth to the auto parts store to see if a code fully went away after disconnecting the battery/resetting the ecu during repairs. I might even get a second one to keep in both vehicles!

Al menos en mi camioneta Jeep Liberty 6cil 3.7 litros, se conecta por el interfase ODB2, pero no reconoce todas las funciones, no lee el número VIN y algunas cosas si reporta, pero por el precio no lo vale.Tengo 4 veces mas barata y me ofrece mas información que el que este. No se si para un auto mas actual funcione mejor.

all you gotta do is turn on your car, plug it in, click diagnose, and it will tell you the error code, simple and straight forward. the only thing you need to be aware of is it doesnt go in very deep, just push it in with normal force, and it should be enough, i thought it was like a computer cable, and i was trying to force jam it in until i hear a click, but i couldnt, then i looked at the screen, it was already on. good thing i didnt break it

Very bad product i want return this product

Was able to pull up error code that cause my check engine light to turn on. The root cause was due to my bank 2 sensor 2. The code was erased after o2 sensor replacement. Don’t see the code anymore since. This tool is easy to use, just follow simple instruction. Every car owner should own one of this or else they might get ripped off by mechanics.
