CE Compass Car Scanner Diagnostic Live Data Code Reader Check Engine Tool For EOBD OBD2 OBDII Vehicles with 6ft Cable and Carrying Case

OBD-II is an improvement over OBD-I in both capability and standardization. The OBD-II standard specifies the type of diagnostic connector and its pinout, the electrical signalling protocols available, and the messaging format. It also provides a candidate list of vehicle parameters to monitor along with how to encode the data for each. There is a pin in the connector that provides power for the scan tool from the vehicle battery, which eliminates the need to connect a scan tool to a power source separately. However, some technicians might still connect the scan tool to an auxiliary power source to protect data in the unusual event that a vehicle experiences a loss of electrical power due to a malfunction. Finally, the OBD-II standard provides an extensible list of DTCs. This ergonomic scan tool displays live O2 sensor test data and reads live PCM data stream. It features multilingual menu, large easy-to-read backlit LCD screen and displays DTC definitions on unit screen. This scanner retrieves vehicle information, identifies pending codes, views freeze frame data and easily determines the cause of the Check Engine Light. It performs modules present test, reads, stores as well as playbacks live sensor data and prints data via PC.
