This is a powerful PC based product that is made for those individuals who have the DIY mentality. The USB ELM327 not only reads your vehicles' check engine codes, but it also monitors the sensor data in real time. This scanner is the perfect product for those individuals who are interested in more than just trouble codes. The output protocol (connection to laptop) is USB.
The OBD II Software allows you to use your PC and a hardware interface to get the information from your car's computer. This program is very easy to install: simply extract the files into a folder on your computer's hard drive, and your ready to go. To uninstall the program, simply delete the entire contents of the folder where the program resides. The software supports two platforms: DOS and Windows.
It is specifically designed for reading and erasing trouble code(s) in vehicles plus it displays current sensor data. This reader works on the following protocols plus CAN-BUS vehicles:
- CAN (Controller Area Network)
- SAE J1850 PWM
- SAE J1850 VPW
- ISO 9141-2
- ISO 14230 (KWP2000)
FEATURES:

What is OBD, and what are its benefits?
OBD stands for "On-Board Diagnostics", a computer-based system built into modern vehicles. OBD monitors the performance of some of the engines' major components, including individual emission controls. The OBD system on a vehicle normally consists of one or more ECUs (Electronic Control Unit - basically a computer), a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC), and the wiring that connect these different elements. The system provides owners with an early warning of malfunctions by way of a dashboard "Check Engine" light (also known as a Malfunction Indicator Light or MIL, for short). By giving vehicle owners this early warning, OBD protects not only the environment but also consumers, identifying minor problems before they become major repair bills.
