OBD2 Scanner and Code Reader - Diagnose Check Engine Light, Emission Readiness, Turbo Issues - Universal Compatibility for Cars, SUVs, and Trucks - Easy Plug-and-Play Diagnostics Tool

Amazing product! Save hundreds of dollars with this inexpensive tool. This is a must-have for any car owner whether you know how to fix cars or not. I keep one in the glovebox. Using it is very easy. You just need to find the diagnostic port which is going to be under the dashboard, driver's side. Connect the scanner to the port and then turn your ignition on, press enter a few times and BAM you get the codes. No batteries are necessary. You can view codes that have triggered the check engine light and descriptions. The coolest thing is that this scanner will also show pending codes. So if your check engine light is not on, but there is a potential problem, take a look at pending codes. I think this feature is brilliant and I plan on using it when I buy a used car next time. That way I don't need to wonder if the seller cleared the codes because they will show up under pending even if the check engine light is not on. Clearing the codes is as easy as reading them. It did clear one code I had even without me fixing the issue but the check engine light came back again eventually which makes sense. Lastly, I saw that it has the option to check the I/M readiness, which basically shows if the car will pass the smog test as long as the systems are market with OK or Not Applicable (N/A).

This is not your typical OBD-II sanner. This one gets into technical stuff. I learned to use a few of the functions from YOUCANIC videos. I learned enough to find out if my car would pass the emission test before I even go to the testing station. If you are willing to take the time and learn how to use this scanner, you'll be glad you bought it. I'm very pleased with my purchase. It's small and compact yet it offers the same if not more functionality than some of the more expensive scanners. Great scanner, great price!

Seems to be a "good" product for the money, but instructions are super confusing - like you already need to be a mechanic and know the lingo. I would rather spend more on one that's easier to follow and that has instructions that are written in plain English. I actually didn't find the product useful at all because of how technical the instructions are.

Ordered yesterday, got it today, plugged in my 2005 Honda Odyssey with over 400,000 miles on it, within seconds gave me the correct error code and what is wrong with my vehicle, the cable is long and soft, so it is easy to handle, feels good in hands, lights up the whole box in red while plugged in, worth every penny, I have a $395 scanner but not user friendly, and doesn’t name the faulty part like this one, now I will buy the faulty part and Voilá, check engine light will go away and car will pass inspection again, the more expensive ones are not user friendly, this one does good enough job for the average do it yourself, just make sure ignition ON and engine off when using, Thank you Youcanic.

This YOUCANIC OBD-II scanner worked great. It's compact and easy to use. I viewed my engine trouble code displayed on the scanner, I researched the issue and fixed it, and then used the scanner again to clear my trouble code. My check engine light turned off and my car runs great again.
