An essential piece of kit for all car and van owners - save time and money with this handy mini code reader which enables you to troubleshoot any problems in your vehicle by reading the Diagnostic Trouble Codes [DTC's] that appear when the "check engine" light is showing.

DTC's are codes that are stored by the car's in-board computer system in response to a vehicle issue. Codes relate to a particular problem and are used as a guide to help locate the fault in order for you to fix the vehicle.

Benefits

  Will this OBD II reader work with my car

This reader works with most vehicles manufactured since 1996, providing they are OBD II compliant. It is required by US law that all 1996 + cars and light vans/trucks sold in the USA must be OBD II compliant and this includes all Asian and European vehicles.

A small number of 1994 & 1995 vehicles are OBD II compliant. To verify you need to check the Vehicle Emission Control Information [VECI] label which is located under the hood near the radiator of most vehicles. If compatible the labels states "OBD II certified". Additional government regulations state that all OBD II compliant vehicles must have a "common" 16 pin Data Link Connector [DLC].

For your vehicle to be compliant it must have a 16 pin DLC underneath the dashboard
