As everyone knows, the dreaded "check engine" light puts you squarely at the mercy of your mechanic. Be informed of the problem BEFORE you visit the dealer with this pocket sized ODB code reader. Simply plug the attached OBD-II cable to your car's vehicle port and the reader automatically connects to your car's onboard computer. It not only reads and displays Diagnostic Trouble Codes, it also indicates the urgency level of the specific code (Urgent - immediate repairs necessary; Caution - repair within 2 days; Attention - repair within 5 days; Okay - no trouble codes present). Next, visit www.actron.com's information database to access information on the specifics of the "check engine" light problem. The Save Data feature saves your car's codes for review even when it's not connected to your car! The PocketScan® is compatible with ALL 1996 and newer vehicles and features a backlit display for easy reading anywhere. Includes bi-lingual (English, Spanish) Manual for quick reference and toll-free telephone and online customer support.
