A “Check Engine” Light Doesn't Mean You're at the Mercy of the Dealership
Know what's going on in there with an OBD-II Reader!
All 1996 and newer cars use a common set of computer codes called OBD-II. If you've ever had to visit a mechanic because there's a dash light blinking for no apparent reason, you'll love the Code Scout. This user-friendly OBD-II reader is designed for your car’s computer. It retrieves codes quickly, tells you what they mean, and lets you clear them (and the check engine light). For example, if you accidentally leave your gas cap loose, you can reset the "check engine" light yourself, and skip the trip to the dealer. Or, if a more serious problem occurs, you’ll be armed with the trouble codes and what they mean—before you head for the shop. It can even check your car’s emissions inspection readiness. Uses 4AAA batteries (included). The Code Scout 700 includes a trilingual CD with over 5000 codes and explanations. The Code Scout 1500 comes with the information built-in and lets you see the explanation on an easy-to-read screen.
