Finally through your video (after watching so many) I was able to grasp how to operated this scanner. Being a 70 years old lady in a fixed income I can afford more thievery from the mechanics, even if I can not fix it myself, now I can go to them with an idea of what it's wrong with my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. Thank you very much!
Give ‘‘em hell granny ! Been doing the “independence thing” my whole 77 year life & still beating the system ! You go girl ! :)
This is a piece of kit every amateur mechanic should have very cheap for what it does highlights the problems clearly very easy to use after a bit of practice
Thank you so much! You did very good on the presentation. I ordered ...and it came in the mail. I took notes. This is a very good Tool and its colorful. By the way...just moved to Las Vegas and I passed my Smog test. Thanks again. I will be a follower. You seem to know a lot about cars.👍
Glad you like it! I love Vegas! I'll be there in November for a little vacation.
Went through a bunch of videos to get to this 1st. class presentation. Made notes from your video, job done. many thanks
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great video I just recieved my 301 and this video helped mr start using it. Thanks
Glad it helped
Fantastic product. Have a 2003 Toyota Solara. Excellent condition. But the Check engine light comes on every ear because of the stupid co2 censor. Bought this Foxwell model. Diagnosed thats what it was. Cleared it. Cylced my car. And passed inspection! Thank you Foxwell.
Hell yeah. Glad it worked for ya!
Great tutorial. The best I found on TH-cam! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for explaining Foxwell NT 301 I love it again thank you
Glad you liked it!
Basically the only video I need to watch to learning everything I needed.
very true this thing is a piece of junk
@@vart7767 hmm I have had some luck with it I guess. Very good code scanner so far. Whats so junky about yours?
Thank you dude. I must've watched like 7 reviews that didn't even showcase a reading of any fault codes with this device.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.
Thx for presentation. Seems NT-301 is a scanner or reader, although useful with readily referenced DTCs, but without bi-directional capabilities? Those usually help calibrate sensors & systems. Capability distinguishing these devices.
You and the project farm channel are the only ones that knew how to get into the code assist function with this tool on your review, thumbs up! And a like for you! All the other reviews on this tool got a 👎 from me
Obviously Project Farm is stealing my material! Lol. Just kidding. BTW, I saw that he recently reviewed code readers, but haven't had a chance to watch the video. I love that guy.
Thanks for the video.
I recently bought one of those scammers, been getting an engine malfunction on my fiesta st and goes into limp mode.. can't figure out the problem just yet but this scanner even though I don't find any codes most of the time with this issue I still went ahead and cleared the codes and the limp mode was gone.. currently it's stuck with showing the yellow triangle which comes back on straight away after clearing the codes..
Great video, excellent guide through, appreciate the help
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Can it tell me when to change the blinker fluid?
I got one of these from my go to part's house ECS Tuning when my MK6 VW Sportwagon threw a code. It took a bit of head scratching to figure out how to use the thing (but I'm no mechanic) but turned out to be a MAP sensor, which is apparently a secondary result of a bad PCV valve which is apparently a common issue. I dunno, some on the 'net say this is great, and some say it's crap, but I think I already got my money's worth by ordering a $30 part that takes 15 min. to install (for a novice) vs a trip to the shop. No complaints, though it doesn't seems to be super intuitive right off. (but I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box)
Glad it worked for you! The more you use it, the easier it is to work with. I had the same issues when I first received it. Thanks for watching.
I just bought this one , thanks for your video
Glad I could help!
Great, simple explaining of a product. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Man I am in love with my newest investment
Pls post more Scion xB videos I really dig watching the things you do to the car
I post one every week on Toaster Tuesday's. Thanks for watching!
Nice vid, bro!
02 sensors, super easy to change. #2 hookup is under the passenger side of the center console. #1, just follow the cord. Good luck. :)
Thank you! I have new ones, I just haven't installed them yet. I'll be sure to do a video on it. Thanks for letting me know the locations!
Dont forget.. "the empire doesn't care about your stick figure family" lol :P
Awesome video, thanks so much
Will this device allow me to code replacement parts such as the Combox (BMW)?
What's a good scan tool that can read whicj speed sensor went bad on your vehicle? I purchased this Foxwell but it doesn't have that feature.
Nice one, you just convinced me to buy this one, cheers mate
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Engine light on the Jeep been on for 2 weeks, my scanner showed up 2 days ago, just now followed what you done (didn't even read the manual), gave me a PO135 code and a description of the part I need, searched on good old TH-cam to find exactly where the part is, so I'll sort it out when the part arrives, thank you so much for your very very easy to follow video, I want to thank Foxwell for giving you this to review, keep up the good work bro 👍 👍 👍 👍
Thanks! I'm so glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
It showed 2 possible O2 sensors bad, doesn't it tell you which one is bad ? (I doubt both are bad). Other than that, it looks very nice.
What does it mean when the middle one comes on the triangle..I keep getting that one for my Mazda but it's not showing a code only singal the middle triangle what does it mean and how do I diagnose it
Best video ever on this unit.
Thanks!!
Tried going along with your use and my displays giving different information than yours, off to find another review
can someone help explain how to use these scanners? I can not update mine to save my life
Hi mate great video my question is can the foxwell do codeing such as lights ect as what carly and blue driver does. Thanks pal Joe uk
Sorry, I'm not familiar with those other code readers. I suggest searching on Foxwell's website for the answer. Good luck!
Does this read fuel pressure?
Can this service electronic parking brake?
Just ordered one. Hope it’ll clear the code for a shift solenoid for my 05 pilot
i have this scanner that i use on my 2010 toyota sequoia to clear a code for my shit solenoid...works flawlessly !...highly recommended.
upon review of my reply i noticed a spelling mistake....yes it s a shit solenoid but i really meant "shift" (oops lol)
does this pick up Transmission codes?
Hey so my car needs a intake camshaft position sensor but I don’t know what bank it’s on does this machine tell you what side
I have not had that problem before, but yes, I'm pretty sure it will. Good luck.
Very useful video thank you
Any time!
the yellow light was on because its stating that the monitors for smog are not set yet. not because the scanner knows there's a fault. by erasing the codes you reset the monitors. its automatic, there's no way around it. just for clarification.
Does it go away
Do you know if this will clear/erase an ABS light on your dash?
Unfortunately, this model will not, but I'm pretty sure they offer a model now that does.
Thanks
I just check my toyota camry hybrid 2010 and subaru 2008. Subaru is all good green light. Just wondering for my toyota hybrid. Yellow light is on but no codes but it show CAT AND O2S are X any help bro?
Could be time to change your cat or one of the O2 sensors. Clear it and see if it comes back.
Can it clear the change oil light once you change it?
No. Follow the manufacturer's oil reset process. Thanks for watching.
Way to go Foxwell! And great review my friend, just one question: how much live data will it show? Thanks for sharing Hoss!
It shows more than I'll ever need! Every sensor in the car that can be measured is in the live data. It's a great tool. I have used it on Honda's and BMW's with success, and BMW's typically won't let a universal scan gauge read and clear the code. Thanks for watching!!
Theres oil on my spark plugs cab you show how to take off the top to expone the gasket i need to change
I show you how in my AMSR video. Just search the channel.
Just curious what did you do to fix the code? I have a tc 2005 with the same code.
I replaced my O2 sensor.
Unfortunately it seems Foxwell may have ended support for this product. Whenever I try to update it using the NT Wonder tool, I get an error saying "Connect to internet error!Check the network please." even though I have full internet access.
same here
It Is Great. I bought on about 3 years Ago. I have A 2014 Malibu lt 2.5 And have A P2270 02 sensor stuck lean bank 1 sensor 2. Figuring out how to fix the problem......
It feels good when you have the tools you need to fix the problem. Thanks for watching.
Brandon I have a Ford F-150. I need to replace the auxiliary transmission fluid pump. I had the dealership check the code and I don't want to pay dealer prices for the repair. I can replace the pump but I need a scan tool that will prime the pump. What scan tool do you recommend that can prime the auxiliary transmission fluid pump?
That's a tough one. Lots of car companies are creating tech like this to FORCE you to use the dealer. It's a huge money maker for them. I would Google your issue and go from there. Good luck.
Will this tell me if and what wheel sensor is bad even with no check engine light
No, but i believe they offer a scan tool that does. Check out foxwellonline.com for all of their models.
Thanks for the review! How did you end up fixing the p0420? I have this code on a 2010 Toyota Camry
It was the o2 sensor. I did a video on it. Good luck!
I hear a lot of features aren't supported by cars. Do you come across a lot of not supported messages?
No, the only one that I came across was shown in the video. Thanks for watching!
Does erasing the code turn off the check engine light on the dash (given you have fixed the problem)?
Yes
Can this tool check the battery and if the alternator is charging properly? Thanks!
It will tell your battery voltage, but it will not tell you if your alternator is charging properly. You just need a basic voltmeter for that.
Well done!
Thanks for watching.
I (WILL)Be getting this (Soon) lol..I've been using this "Mickey Mouse) Micro Mechanic "Bluetooth " version and People.."IT Sucks"..lol..Thanks Bro for the "Blunt and Super Quick" Run Through of this Product.Your the Man 😎-FrankieB
I'm still using it, when needed and it's still an great tool. Thanks for watching.
This is the only decent review I found - everything I need to make a purchase, including the amzn link. BTW, the cost is the same if I use the amzn link or not, so use the link in the description.
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?
No. Give it a little wiggle as you pull. Good luck.
How would you compare this Foxwell to the Nexpeak NX501? Please and thank you!
Sorry, but I've never used Nexpeak.
Quality presentation. How much do the software updates and added diagnostic features cost?
Please contact Foxwell directly for the answers to those questions. Thanks for watching.
Iv just updated mine free online at foxwell
If my car is cranking but not starting, and I want to confirm that its not something besides the fuel pump; will one of these analyzers work if the engine is just cranking or if just the ignition is on? Thanks for any guidance.
It won't hurt anything to buy one a try. You'll have it forever and it's an invaluable tool.
hi sir,what is the best obd scanner but cheaper in price?thanks
You get what you pay for.
I’m thinking about getting a first gen toaster how reliable is it mechanically
Very reliable.
What's the best kinds of Odb2 Scanners for all kinds of cars makes and models.I want to know exactly wrong with the car before buying.Like if it need a tune up coil or gasket.I test drive the car it was ok ??
The Foxwell NT301 can do it.
CAN YOU RUN COMPLETE DRIVING CYCLE AND THE SCANNER BEING PLUGGED UNTIL IT CLEARS?
Yes
Can this diagnose or clear airbag light? Car is Suzuki swift
No, but they have other scanners that can.
Does it work on a Maserati?? ive tried a few scanners and none of them work on my car.
I'm not sure. Check out foxwellonline.com for more information.
Does it work if the "check engine" light is not on?
Yes
Would you recommend the blue driver obd2 reader over the foxwell?
I've never used Blue Driver, but Foxwell is the best I have used to date. Thanks for watching.
after wasting money on one of these im regretting not buying the blue scanner instead
Can I reset the TCM on my Mercedes CLK 320 year 2000
I doubt it. Usually Mercedes makes you take it to the dealer.
cause of these review. i order one from amazon👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice! You won' regret it!
Does it clear airbag ligbt and brake light?
No.
Will the odb2 erase VSA code from a 2008 Honda pilot?
What is VSA?
Vag suc every time haha..
will it tell me the oil temperature in a auto transmission.
I don't have an automatic. Contact Foxwell to get the answer.
NT301 is a obd2 scanner ,it can help you read emission related data so can not read the TCM system data.
Do you highly recommend it for bmw and honda and chevrolet
If it's OBDII, then yes.
Just got mine; first thing I did turn off that beep.
Me too!
Haha! Haven't got into this video just yet, but watched another a few minutes ago, and was like, my god can you turn the beeping off??
You can remove the ESP error (peugeot 208)??
The only to know is to try.
Can you use the reader without starting a vehicle like if the vehicle won’t start
It will power on, but won't read the codes. Thanks for watching.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers if you’re buying cars to flip can you hook it up to the car that isn’t running save the data and plug it into your car that runs check the codes
@@smokysniper7514 any update on that question?
does it function for abs or airbag?
No, but Foxwell makes one that does.
Can you code the transmission control module with this devise
I don't think so. Read some of the reviews on Amazon to see if it does. Thanks for watching.
No It won't it is not only for engine and emissions codes
It doesnt have ABS and Transmission
scanner but still a great scanner to own
I believe I have a glow plug fault. Would this tool tell me what cyclinder? Many thanks for a great video!
Possibly. Yes, either way, if you have an American made vehicle, you definitely need one of these. Lol.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers thanks for reply, I'm in Scotland and I have a European car. I have since found out from a mechanic I know that the number at the end of fault code relates to the cylinder at fault. Every day is a school day 👍🍻
Sorry, I read "glow plugs" and assumed you had a Ford F350 Duelly or something. Good luck!
If glow plug sign flashing on your dashboard in most cases its not a actual glow plug issue, depends of a car maker. Manufacturers use this sign for a numerous faults, for example on Skoda(WV) could be even a break pedal switch problem(even faulty break bulbs), don't ask why is that :).
Only after you scaned the fault codes you gonna get the idea, more or less, whats the real issue with a car, good luck ;)!
@@Zdravstvujte I went to take out plugs to test them and discovered one was loose. After torquing it back down it solved priblem. I have since replaced this car. Thanks for comment though. 👍
Hey Man shoudnt you fix the problem before erasing the codes. great vid by the way. best ive watched so far.
It doesn't really matter if you clear it before or after you repair the vehicle. If you do it before, the code will just come back. Thanks for watching.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers I think what he meant was..shouldn’t you fix the problem and not erase the code? But I guess in this case you are just demonstrating how to erase codes. I think it does matter if you erase the code before or after, I’m no expert but..if you fix the problem and then erase the code why would the code come back? Or am I missing something
Purchase link did not work unfortunately. Will look for this on Amazon.
Thank you. Link has been restored.
I saw a video of this scanner saying it was too 5 to own and also claimed it does abs code also. Does it do ABS code?
Not this particular model. They offer other models that do. Just search on Amazon. Thanks for watching.
Do you think I can use it for a crv 2006?
greetings
Yep.
Hello, is it possible to scan all car brands on it, or do I need to buy more software?
Yes. It will work on any car.
Will it check the condition of a battery?
It will give you a live report of the battery's voltage output.
I was wanting to know the same thing.
After you erase the code, what do you do - ignore the possible issues or wait until the Engine light turn on again ?
It depends on what the code is and how your car is behaving. Like I said in the video, my car was acting normal. If your car is really acting up, you need to fix the issue immediately. This reader helps educate you on the possible reasons for the code so you can either fix it yourself or at least research the code and have some understanding of what needs to be repaired when you take it in for service. I hope this helps.
Since when has "English" been a 'unit of measure'....Foxwell, are you a unit of pressure? Great video by the way!
You know what I meant!! Lol. Thanks for watching.
How come you didn’t troubleshoot the problem sure you cleared the code but I didn’t fix anything and the scanner didn’t tell you exactly what’s wrong with the car how do you determine what the exact problem is
It was my o2 sensor, which is what the scanner suggested. I replaced it in a different video.
Does the car have to be all the way on for it to scan
Yes
Dang so what if the car doesn’t click over will it still work
@@keontetye5025 Great question, and I wondered the same thing. Hopefully a knowledgeable person answers. 👍🏽
Do you have to up date it first or can you use it right out of the box?
Nope. It's ready to go immediately.
Quick question, if you erase the codes without fixing it and scan it again will it still let you know what the code/problem is?
Because I don’t want to think I fixed my car but it just bypassed it
Thanks!
No. Once the code is cleared, it won't show up until you car detects the code again.
Do you prefer to buy the Foxwell NT301 today since your video posted 5 months ago...? I'm looking to purchase a good one for personal use. Thanks.
Yep. Still using it and it's still working great. Thanks for watching!
Would this be compatible with Honda pilot?
Imma buy one
Get it!
So it does a bit of an emissions test for your car?!
Yes. Thanks for watching.
I bought this same foxwell you recommend buddy. Does it test for the starter and alternator ? Or is that only the plus version of this model
I don't think so, but you could easily test that with a multimeter.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers
I tested the battery with vehicle off and battery pushing 12.56 volts ,and when I have it on it's pushing 13.7-13.9 volts . With that reading is it safe to say the alternator is doing it's job or does it need to push 14 volts and above when vehicle is on. Any help is recommended . My Xb turns on but kind of struggles. I did not and don't have my battery symbol come on . Starter is maybe 1 ½ years old. Any help is appreciated.All lights turn on perfectly fine ,ac works,horn works . Also I do have the viper push start 5706v model installed also.
Great video but no need to start the vehicle, just turn on the ignition.
Does it erase or reset abs codes
Not this model,but they do offer one that does.
Does your car have to be started for it to read the codes?
Yes
no it does not just with lights on will work perfectly@@ExtremeDailyDrivers
