So nice to have the workings of the OBD explained so concisely and in plain English. A Big THANK YOU.

Wow guy, I just watched this 1st vid. of you being a help to public. Humbling to know genuine helpful people are still among us, May God Richly Bless You.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Thank you Robert, Much appreciated it!

I just bought a reader similar to this and this video is a good primer for use of it. Thanks Alex.

Been watching and liking your vidios for years I’m still baffled how you aren’t more watched as a KZbinr. You would do alot of srt-4 owners a really good justice with a timing belt water pump and tensioner and maybe cam seal vidio all in one . With the mileage and age of srt-4 most people would benefit and feel more comfortable watching a thorough vidio of you doing the timing belt kit and give confidence it would be greatly appreciated hint I’m about due unless you wanna ride over and do it for me wink wink lol

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Monst'R Srt4! thanks man! I do have more SRT-4 videos coming, we just need to get the word out to the remaining owners out there, the views have gone down on new srt4 videos (last 3 videos got less than 1k views) but yeah man content is coming, keep passing the word bud!

Great video. I'm using a borrowed OBD tool and I think I'll purchase the one you are using. Thank you for simplifying this

Autofun hy i look the video thanx.I hawe a guestion is there diffrence betwen more expensive or cheaper in sense of geting codes or that depends primarly from car?for example can cheaper one said abs is bad and more expensive which abs modul is bad or that depend from cars?beacuse i would like in depth to search diffrent thing so i can relay and i would like hawe to check odomoter,blled brakes ,reset batery,dpf regeneration.thanks

[@AlexAutoFun]

You're welcome irnes! Yes there is a big difference, the scanner shown on this video can only read standard (generic) OBD2 DTCs. If you need to access other car modules such as ABS or service functions like BMS or DPF, then you will need a scanner that can support those modules and service functions, here are two good choices for that kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipqvgoynrLCkbKM or kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4utf6h5ocmbiZY Hope this helps, Cheers!

[@irneskajtezovic2357]

@@AlexAutoFun hy i hawe somewhat secure and good price options for autel or launch models.which one i need so it isnt basic model that can check only engine but more the better and i can fix a few things or ewen easy ones like dpf regeneration or changing the battery?i soo one video of launch x431 and you werent impresed so im in dilema right now.thanks for all

@@irneskajtezovic2357 Hi Irnes! Unfortunately I have not reviewed Autel (may have to add a review for it at some point) But here is the review video for the X-431kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6Lae5-LeryBb6OV and the full menu tour here kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3-zqXidl7-ojLs And I have more OBD2 scanner reviews on my channel in the playlist "OBD2 Scanner Reviews" if you like to compare them. Hope this helps, Cheers!

[@jacattack777]

Hi I am completely new to this. Will this device tell me what's wrong with my car's A/C?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi J! Nope, the scanner shown in the video can only scan the ECM (engine related issues). There are more advanced scanners that support AC like this one. But unless there is a code set for the AC issue, it will likely not indicate anything. And here my other video for how I fixed my AC kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6PPgXqHgdKhq5I Cheers!

[@DesireeFerriera]

Does the fix Finder powered by Innova scanner work the same as the scanner that you have? Because that’s what AutoZone used on my car.

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Desiree! While I'm have not used the Fix Finder, OBD2 scanners function very similarly. The difference is some are basic like the one show on the video and other are more advanced like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF68goGEfJKKqpo Cheers!

[@paulsmith869]

If truck is cranking but not starting will it show on scanner the problem ?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi P! The scanner will show if there is a Set or Pending DTC which can potentially be used to determine or narrow down on an issue. Cheers!

[@prettyboyygr]

Works on the corolla 2020 egr sensor ? Because I have a check engine light but is I bought for my corolla 2020 egr delete

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Alex! yes this will pull the codes (DTC that set the check engine light) from the 2020 Toyota Corolla so you can confirm if the code is EGR related. Hope this helps and cheers bud!

[@prettyboyygr]

@@AlexAutoFun can I still Erase that code ?

[@AlexAutoFun]

@@prettyboyygr Hi Alex! yes you can erase DTC's set but if the issue has not been fixed, the code will return. Hope this helps, Cheers!

What is cat ccm mis and i/m ?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi! Those are typically related to emission systems. Cheers!

[@derrickrobinson1667]

I have ordered a scanner haven't received it yet

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Derrick! I would recommend contacting your seller to get updates on the status of your scanner. Cheers!

[@alidi4144]

How do you reset CAM sensor and crank sensor on this it says no where

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Al! This is a basic code scanner. If you need advanced functions like accessing the CAM or crank sensor, you will need a more advanced scanner like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHi6hKt7jauVhck or this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmLad3RpnNikaJI Cheers!

[@salmanaqeelbutt3712]

My car is push bottom start so i need to check with car start or off?

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi S! The scan tool can be used with the vehicle in Acc (normally used to clear DTC's) or On if you need to stream PID's. Normally vechiles with push to start also let you access ACC (accessory) mode instead of fully turning on the vehicle. I would recommend referring to your owners manual, where it details the use of the PTS button and its modes. Cheers!

The only problem with these latest obd scanners they dont work on older vehicles such as my old 1996 Volvo 850 you have to take it to a garage like Volvo to get the codes cleared believe me I have been looking for a scanner to purchase that actually works but none do if you need a scanner that will work you are looking at $1000 up.

[@AlexAutoFun]

HI Scott! correct this is an OBD2 Scanner, cars prior to OBD2 being mandatory (1996 and below here in the US) typically will not have a standard OBD2 port and will need a proprietary scan tool to be able to access the computer or an aftermarket scanner like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6Lae5-LeryBb6M which can be prohibitively expensive for a normal person to acquire or justify unless the car being diagnosed is a high value car (collectible, has emotional value, or there is a desire to learn to and trouble shoot vehicles with a full bidirectional scan tool) But If I do find a low cost tool for older cars without OBD2 I will let you know bud!

[@colterino]

I had a '95 850 Turbowagon. There were buttons you could push right in the car. I learned alot. Find that system. Good luck

[@gregmisiak1906]

Using the OBD two scanner, it indicates a P170, right side bank running lean. What could this possibly mean? How do I diagnose whether it’s a vacuum leak or some other component that may not be working?

[@19491950morris8]

I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN ELGRAND IAM HAVING TROUBLE WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON AN NOBODY CAN SCAN DIAGNOSED WHAT IS WRONG THEY ONLY HAVE LATE MODEL SCANNERS YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SCANNER TO USE ON MY VAN

[@AlexAutoFun]

Hi Fred! A basic scanner like the one shown on this video can be used to scan most vehicles equipped with OBD2. That being said if the DTC you have is for an advanced system outside of the scope of standard OBD2 diagnostics such as ABS, SRS etc. Those require an advanced scanner that can support them like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2imhqB3lKdniLs And I have more scanner reviews on my channel in the playlist "OBD2 Scanner Reviews" if you like to compare them.
