NEXPOW OBD2 Scanner, V311 Automotive Engine Fault Code Reader, Car Diagnostic Scan Tool with Battery Test Tool for All OBD II Protocol Cars Since 1996

Good device

I kept getting check engine lights for the fuel evap system because of a bad seal on the gas cap. I was tired of taking it to my mechanic to clear the light, so after installing a new cap I thought I'd give this a try. I also thought it might come in handy for any future problems.This really works great! It connected to my car as soon as I plugged it in and I had the codes cleared in seconds. Well worth the money and a lot cheaper and easier than going to the shop for what could be a simple fix.

After having some "check engine lights" issues, I bought this product, which caused me to borrow such a device from friends/neighbors.I bought a jump starter booster and was offered to purchase this item, and it was a great decision to add it.I've already had an opportunity to use it as my car had again, such light that turned on.The code was easy to read, and it also has a few other COOL features, such as live streaming data from the car's engine.Erasing the code was a bit of struggling as the process failed, and the reason for that blinked for a second and disappeared, so it took me some time to understand why it didn't erase the code. Still, eventually, I was able to read it, and it says to turn off the engine while erasing, whereas operating that device requires a working machine.But besides that - operating the device is easy and convenient.

I looked at the directions before using the scanner and they made no sense to me! Happily, I didn't need them. Just plug device in and the rest is self-explanatory. (Fortunately I have had my engine light checked at Auto Zone many times so I knew exactly where to plug it in.)I found the directions to be bizarrely complicated so I'm removing one star for that.

This OBD reader is amazingly simple, extremely accurate, amazing for the price. I've had a code on my car for the past few years. Toyota couldn't get it off. No matter where I went it would not reset even though the issue was taken care. Plugged this baby in to check a few things, just like all the rest it showed an option to clear codes, Holy Dam! It actually worked! Besides code clearing it pulls up and finds codes that other readers didn't. It found a code that was not on a $300 digital reader that should have every code available. Saved me $800 by getting the part before it completely shorted out. Honestly, I am a real person, this is a real review. You won't go wrong with this baby!

Always accurate, many features, and still works after a long time!
