Reads and clears OBDII check engine codes. Shows real-time data and freeze frame information.
Find faults faster - thanks to the built-in OBD2 DTC lookup library
An integrated DTC lookup library displays code definitions on-screen after reading fault codes, removing the need for external references. Functions include read/erase codes, freeze frame, I/M readiness and vehicle information.
On-the-spot code definitions help determine likely causes before visiting a garage, reducing guesswork and unnecessary visits.
Check battery and charging health - with advanced battery and alternator testing
A dedicated battery tester measures 12V battery voltage and starting performance while alternator output is monitored in real time. Live ripple analysis identifies diode failures that can affect charging systems.
Quick battery and alternator checks reveal whether a battery needs replacement or if charging faults are present, saving diagnostic time at the roadside or in the workshop.
Ready to use straight away - with plug-and-play operation and an extended cable
Plug into the vehicle OBD2 port, no apps, WiFi, extra batteries or chargers required, and use the intuitive menu on the 2.8-inch TFT colour screen. An extended cable helps reach tight or awkward ports under dashboards.
Simple setup gets diagnostics running within moments, making routine checks practical for weekend mechanics and technicians alike.
