Features
The technologically advanced, internet updatable U581 series
code reader is a leap forward in Code Reader technology. With simple push button
operation you can easily retrieve and decode OBD II error codes. With Live Data
and Freeze frame capability you can also view real time engine data for even
easier diagnosis. This level of sophistication with ease of use has never
been offered in a handheld unit for under $350. This unit will work with all
OBD-2 compliant cars from 1996 to present. All cars sold in the US are required
to be OBD-2 compliant. For cars sold internationally check to make sure
you have the correct connections. With Can-Bus capability you can be assured this model will work with all cars sold today and in the near future!
While this item is a MUST HAVE for anyone working on
their car themselves, often simple things like I loose gas cap can cause the
check engine light to come in. This is something anyone can fix and remove the
code. If you mechanic is recommending an expensive repair, you can "double
check" with your own diagnostics tool to ensure you are paying for what needs to
be done, and not what your mechanic needs money for!
Buying a Used Car? Take the sellers' word that it is in
tip-top condition, or simply plug this unit in, and find out for yourself if
there are any troubles lurking. Not all engine problems illuminate the check
engine light - and if the check engine light was on, would you buy the car?
