ANCELAD310 Classic Enhanced Universal OBD II Scanner Car Engine Fault Code Reader CAN Diagnostic Scan Tool, Read and Clear Error Codes for 1996 or Newer OBD2 Protocol Vehicle (Black)Global Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

Invaluable peice of equipment for a modern (OBDII) vehicle, I believe 1996 model year and up have this system across all makes and models. I had a check engine light on my 2003 Ford Ranger, I was able to plug the scanner in, turn the key over(not on) and pull 2 codes in a matter of seconds. One was “intake manifold runner flaps stuck open” ($17 part), the other was a “small evap leak”, most likely a failing gas cap ($10 part). It’s nice that the display doesn’t only give you a code (P1xxx) but these descriptions as well, they are very useful to help you pinpoint the problem without endlessly pouring over search engine results and trying to unsure the information directly pertains to the vehicle you’re servicing. It also delivers live on board diagnostic data like throttle position, air fuel ratio, spark advancement and more. Worth the money.

This device is straightforward and easy to use, but don’t let that fool you. It reads all engine codes accurately and helps diagnose issues on my truck quickly. It’s not packed with extra features, but it gets the job done reliably. A great basic tool for anyone who wants to troubleshoot engine problems without paying for expensive repairs.

It was just what I needed, it got me out of trouble, very economical and good.

Quality through and through. Works like a champ. Read my code and pointed to the oil sending unit. Replaced the oil sending switch and fixed the problem. I'd like to address the fact that though it does clear the check engine light (you do it manually) rerunning the code check it still shows the same code. This is contrary to the instructions witch state after clearing the code recheck to confirm it is gone. This in wrong, misleading, and confusing to new buyers. Clearing the code does not do what you would think and what other inferior code readers do. The code remains until the problem is fixed and the car is run enough to complete its next computer wellness check. Then the code is gone. This is not stated in the instructions, but make sense to me as a problem with the car is not fixed by clearing the check engine light.This is a well make product and I would recommend to others. I am taking one star back because of the confusion with the manual. It needs clarification.

This little tool is absolutely AMAZING!! It’s easy to use and gives you readings within seconds! I wish I would have bought it sooner! I was able to finally diagnose my car without having to take it to a mechanic and wait for days to hear back. This reader tells me everything I need to know. I also truly appreciate the live data, without it, I wouldn’t have found out what was bad.

Bought this along with an adapter to reset stubborn codes on an Indian Challenger.Having the codes is great to diagnose and correct a Check Engine light. Even better is the ability to reset / clear the code without "key / run cycles" - especially around Inspection time. This one does the trick just fine.So far everything works as advertised. It's been quite effective and didn't cost an arm and a leg.Five stars!

I had a code read by a store and told the issue was a high voltage on a temp sensor. I changed the sensor. When I got this reader my (first) I read the instructions plugged it in and cleared the code. So about the reader. Instructions are lettered a little small, but easy enough to understand. Using the tool is easy to navigate. Not a ton of buttons, very simple. Reader read the same code issue and worded the same as the stores big dollar reader. I love it. I work on our vehicles all the time and it saves me a lot of time traveling and trying to figure out the problem. I suggest people have one of these. It could save money at the repair shop or at home.

Worked just like it should, easy to follow instructions, pretty self explanatory if you've used them before
