How To Use Foxwell NT301 OBD2 Code Reader - Check Engine Light

[@ksavage681]

You forgot to mention the Help button. Once you have a code on the screen, press it and it will tell you what the code means and what the problem may be.

[@raymuniz113]

Great video, thorough and just the facts needed, No BS.

[@woodbobshop]

If I took a shot everytime you said "OBD Code Reader" I would be in the ER and possibly dead......LOL

[@OscarHanzely]

seriously. Like 10 times in first 2 min :D Edit: I counted, he did say it 10x in first 2:30min and 14x total in video.

[@Gamecock94]

No shit…code reader would suffice

[@lepeejon2955]

What a coincidence. I got PO430 Bank 2 on my Toyota Thanks for straight forward video.

[@dragan3290]

I just got mine today. Love it. Great video as i hate instructions! Lol 😂.

[@ibm20091]

very good tutorial for this reader. thank you so much.

[@JohnNorris411]

NOTE.. If you do plan on taking your car to a mechanic DO NOT ERASE YOUR CODES . Your mechanic will thank you, if you erase the codes and they do not come back by the time you are in the shop, the mechanic has nothing to go off of other than what you tell him, to leave the codes in the system so the mechanic can look at them with his own tools and know what to tackle, this will save him time and save you $$ in labor costs.

[@DaBlueSoldier69]

this is very important^ 💯💯💯 speaking from experience 😭💀

[@sfranks7727]

Hi! My husband just received this Code Reader yesterday, and is pretty discouraged as he does not know the meanings of the abbreviations that the meter gives. Is there a chart that explains all the abbreviations?

[@fZionists78]

Surely the internet could help. Search- “OBD (abbreviation)”

[@bubbajett6086]

Mine too

[@MrKeenaz]

Excellent video buddy. Well done. Cleared a few issues I’m having with mine. I wasn’t aware what the freeze frame actually was but now I do. Cheers 🇦🇺

[@ToddsGarage]

Thank you for watching, I am glad you liked the video!

[@mistergalvolunteer4599]

Nice video, short, sweet and to the point. Thank you

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you liked the video!

[@jublywubly]

Foxwell seem to make great products, but I don't know how their supposed "unit of measure" names passed through so many checks before their devices are released. Metric is a system of measurements (The metric system), not a "unit" of measurements. English is a language, not a system of measurements and especially not a "unit of measurement". They're referring to the Imperial system; inches, pounds etc. "Unit of measure" doesn't even make any sense.

[@seagypsybnb]

Thank you! This was a rad video! I didn’t even have to read the manual lol

[@kurtlanford1448]

Thanks for sharing your experience

[@JohnNorris411]

I get that same code on my Lexus if I use a low-quality fuel or put a fuel system cleaner additive in the tank, The system is picky and will give that code for low-quality fuel or additives, once it runs through or I put a quality fuel in the system that code goes away on its own.

[@alonewolf5874]

Will this check for transmission issues also?

[@timallen6025]

Really good talk through - thank you ..

[@dayair1]

will this unit reset the airbag light?

[@Darin-j3w]

2 questions. Is HCAT the Catalytic converter? And does the engine need to be running for this scanner tool?

[@maychieus]

What if you plug in while key ignition on position does that do any damage ?

[@tomhuynh4058]

Thank you! This video is so helpful. Question, does the check engine light has to be on to use?

[@HunterOfArc]

no it won’t haha if there’s a code it’ll come up, if not - it won’t

[@SIAFU]

Great video. I really appreciate it.

[@robertomguimaraes]

Hello sir! This guy shows the specific abs sensor with failure? Ex: rear righ abs sensor. thx

[@nesone6520]

So, did you replace your catalytic converter? In my experience, code P0420 is a bad catalytic converter.

[@deemsbegay637]

Does this product have a "re-learn" functions for a transmission...2020 Dodge Journey 2.4L engine 40TE tranny?

[@viktor777666]

Can use any brand of vehicle?

[@joejoelowrider]

I hook the cable to my computer and when I'm finish using unit, I really have a hard time to pull out cable from plug do you have the same problem?

[@SIRKSxFUNK]

I bought the nt201. I tried running it on my sisters car and I get ! Red light like yours. But it takes me to the IM readiness and not a code???

[@thefirsttrillionaire2925]

Lol, you did the same thing I did. Even though there’s a big blue button in the middle that you would think is the button to press, it’s not. That’s the readiness button. Press the black enter button and it should give you the codes. I have no idea why they didn’t color the enter button as well.

[@rogermejia6590]

What is the main difference between the nt301 and nt201 and which one is recommended

[@fZionists78]

I’m sure this is too late for you, but Project Farm recently reviewed the differences in affordable OBD scanners.

[@MrGordie9]

2 is a 3

[@patriot_III_tinman]

I just bought this and will be ruturning it. I thought it was a good Idea to update it before using it and it won't update. choose another.

[@bsidb3919]

Hi, I just bought the nt301. Will this reset moniters. I fixed what needed fixing and got the CEL to go out, but still have moniters stored. TIA

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching, it does reset the monitors on some cars, not all. If it does reset your cars monitors your car will need to go through the drive cycles again before the monitors are ready for testing. Thanks for watching!

[@agent5758]

how did you get to the diagnostic menu?

[@fZionists78]

Helpful video. Thanks

[@enricod2061]

Can this check abs and traction flashing?

[@cesarzantua9604]

Compatible to Alto K 1.0,. Model 2012?..thank you..

[@nebraskaguy575]

Does the DTC guide menu mean that part is bad, or does it mean it just could be bad?

[@kingp1nz531]

Can this go to Vehicle a/t menu and see if the trans is going in to park reverse nurtural and drive it should be under current data for the shift lever switch

[@kingp1nz531]

I want to see if it is going in those gears on the ecu because the car is not going into those gears sometimes (drive and nurtural)

[@PaddyBoyBKLYN]

Can this also be powered with the USB?

[@joemulbah5540]

The middle yellow light came on after I tune my car but there is no code. What could this be?

[@iceicepogi]

Is there option to select car model on this obd? Thanks

[@jdmlegends3009]

Can you recommend a good ODB2 Code Reader that's easy to use for beginners and performing car inspections that's manufactured in the USA?

[@ToddsGarage]

Hi thanks for watching! There are a lot to choose from! Do you just want to read trouble codes?

[@jdmlegends3009]

@@ToddsGarage I think I just need to read the trouble codes and take a picture of them as part of my job. I am not sure if I will have to do a more in depth diagnostic. I decided to order this one today as it had over 16k positive reviews and only cost me around 65 bucks on Amazon with the 3 year protection plan from Assurant. Thank you for uploading this video. If you have any more tips for ODB2 scanners and car inspections I'd appreciate it.

[@stephenstokes9133]

@@ToddsGarage I have this exact reader. Will this reader read codes that won’t trigger the check engine light to come on? I have several issues with my Tahoe but it won’t throw a code.

[@naunotrujillo7944]

@@jdmlegends3009 did it work for your job? Just applied to a job where I’ll need one and was thinking about getting one anyways.

[@jdmlegends3009]

@@naunotrujillo7944 I haven't used it in the official capacity yet, but I tested it on my 2018 Hyundai Elantra SE and a 2006 Buick Lucerne and it worked fine. Of course, both cars are running fine and there were no codes to display. However, this handy tool will save you from spending a lot of money by not having a stealership diagnose the problem at $125 an hour.

[@needsomehike]

can it identify electric problems with comfort module etc. ?

[@mohamadbadarani4647]

hi bud, can this enable linelock on a Mustang gt 17 ?

[@paulporter1464]

Can you register a car battery with this obd2 scanner most seem to

[@marcosanchez2547]

I don't know much abt cars. But for it to pass the emissions test, do they all need to say OK or is it fine if there's some INC or N/A?

[@simonh5110]

Sorry no one got back to you. I’m a little so you may have already figured it out but inc means that monitor is incomplete and has not set. N/A means not applicable. You don’t have to worry about those.

[@mohammedally2527]

N/A means it’s not applicable in your car ( your car doesn’t have that system). INC means inconclusive and the system is working on it. For cars around 1997 and older you can have two INC and pass the emissions test 1997 and newer your allowed only 1 INC to pass the emissions test. Hope this helps man

[@KKrueger-he8bw]

I got the NT301 plus and mine will not turn on after I plug it into my cars port.. Any ideas why its not working? I can hook it up to a computer and it turns on and I did the updates. Any help appreciated thanks

[@thefirsttrillionaire2925]

For me, I had a bad PCM/ headlight fuse and mine started working

[@gingerhicks109]

My check engine light is on but the menu for this reader it said it was off why is that

What was it called again

Will this show misfire data?

[@lesliecram2415]

After the reading, I never get a Diagnostic menu so I can Read Codes…anyone know??

Would the scanner be able to erase any air bag /Srs dashboard “locked in Light?” I’m having trouble fixing The problem and only need to remove the Red Srs Airbag red light on my dashboard. Please advice before I purchase this scanner .

Take a shot every time he says obd 2 code reader.

No shit. And why the gloves?

[@cliffordmontana4562]

He’s literally reviewing an “obd2 code reader”! What the hell else would he call it? Why don’t you make a review and do it so much better? This guy took his time to make a video and jerk faces like you will still complain.

I’ve got 4 lights on and this thing read one code so I’m not so sure it’s reliable.

Since you skipped live data and that’s why i came here you got a thumbs down. Video would have been perfect if you did it though. I guess well save a like for next time.

Jesus. Just show us how to use it vs how to turn off the beeper.

Is it and OBD 2 code reader… geez man

[@אדריאןצירנס]

it works nice with most cars ..well it doesnt with my renault megane .so why don t say from the begining the truth about what cars may use it ?

Renault? You need the WACESM model ~ “Wine and Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey”.

Are black rubber gloves a requirement to operate this filthy tool?? 😹
