Pesky check engine light got you down?!

Using our OBD2 scanner you can read the codes causing the light to come on and then find out what the possible causes are for those codes so you can get the fix made before any more damage is done! Driving with the check engine light on without fixing the problem can turn a small problem into a BIG problem!

The fix can be as small & easy as changing out a sensor, or the gas cap! Don't let the mechanics rip you off charging you for repairs you don't need. Know before you go to the mechanic or even do it yourself!

Did you know? If you try to pass emissions testing and your check engine light is illuminated that is an automatic failure meaning you'll have to bring it back after making the repair anyways? Don't waste valuable time, read the code, make the fix and then get tested!

Be warned though! Just clearing the light won't let you pass emissions, you must still fix the problem in order to pass!

Answers to common questions

Will this work on my (Ford, Dodge, Toyota, BMW, Hyundai etc) vehicle?

We promise that our OBD reader will work on all consumer vehicles purchased in the USA that are model year 1996 or newer, regardless of make or model! Unlike other brands of OBD readers, ours REALLY does work on all of these vehicles!

Are there ANY exceptions to this?

Yes. Heavy Duty vehicles such as semi-trucks, dump trucks, tractors, and other commercial vehicles, use HD-OBD which normally require special tools. There may be exceptions where our OBD reader does work. Also, some all electric vehicles cases special apps are needed in order to use the OBD reader with all electric vehicles.

I have a hybrid vehicle, will it still work?
Absolutely!

Can I read ABS/SRS/TPMS (etc.) codes with this?

Unfortunately, no. Our OBDII reader is able to access real time engine information that is part of OBDII and read and clear check engine light only. It is not able to read or clear warning lights for: ABS, SRS, VSC, Oil Change, General Maintenance Lights; or any other non-OBDII systems. These systems can only be accessed with specialized tools.

Will I be able to read my oil pressure, transmission temp, coolant temp or other particular sensors on my vehicle?

Whether or not it can be read on your vehicle depends on the capabilities of the app you will be using and whether the manufacturer of your vehicle has made that sensor available for reading through normal OBDII protocols. Unfortunately, there is currently no database that will tell us what sensors can be read on any particular vehicle. The adapter will need to be tested with your vehicle to find out what sensors are supported.

What app should I use with the OBD reader?

We generally recommend the Torque Pro app. However, there are many great apps on the market. Please note, the apps and software used with the adapter are provided by third party vendors, BAFX Products is not affiliated with the software developers.

You state this works on all cars purchased in the USA 1996 & newer but my car was purchased somewhere else, will it work?
