OBD2 Scanner

No – this one reads codes, it does not clear them. It is built to tell you what is wrong. If you also need to reset the light after the repair, the AutoTruth Professional OBD2 Scanner reads and clears.

Yes. It plugs into the port and your phone is the screen – which is why it is small enough to leave in the glovebox and forget about.

No. No subscription and no confusing menus – you plug it in and read what came up.

It uses the standard OBD2 port, the 16-pin connector under the dash that every car and light truck sold in the USA has carried since 1996. If your vehicle has that port, this reads it.

The trouble code, in seconds, in the car park rather than three days later over the phone. Knowing whether the light means a loose fuel cap or a failing sensor changes the whole conversation you are about to have with a shop.

Because the expensive part was never the reset – it was not knowing. Most shops charge more than this costs just to plug in a scanner and read the number back to you. Read it yourself first, then decide whether the job is worth paying for.

This if you want a cheap, permanent glovebox reader for "what is that light?". The AutoTruth if you want to clear codes, read live engine data and check emissions readiness on its own screen without a phone.

3–5 business days in the USA, and 7–10 business days everywhere else.
