An old fat hairy drooling man out there putting on the nurse glove. SNAP!
@question everything Really? In what funny way does my body tell me i'm deficient in copper, nickel, selenium and chloride - all necessary nutrients by the way. Only an actual nutritionist (not a quack naturopath) can tell us these things.
Great video - straight to the point - On my way to purchase one right now
you are very thorough in you instructions. thank you
Well done. All I wanted was to see an overview of how to use the diag tool, and this is the best video I have come across.

Wow that video was really clean and professional. Two thumbs up!
Dude you're the coolest. I like the cell phone ap. Going to have to try that.
Great video and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I am looking to buy a used car and want to take a scanner with me.
I didn't know they makes apps for your smartphone.
I have an iPhone 6 Plus.
What app do you recommend I use and where do I purchase a cord to hook my phone up to the car ?
Thank you again and I look forward to hearing from you soon !

Great video, thanks 👍
That was a wonderful video, how do I use it on my i phone 7?
Super content. It helped me when i scanned my car.
Thanks!! I needed to know how to use my new scanner.
Good jab man
The more I read and watch videos about fuel injection testing and repair the more I appreciate my collector cars and motorcycles with carburetors as I never had to Google anything to repair them the last fifty years. Just learning about code readers and how to diagnose fuel injection is harder and more involved than any repairs needed on my old cars and motorcycles.
SAD
Not the EZ Scan 6000 🤣 What a time to be alive! But seriously thanx for the information.
Could you plz tell me where I could get the cable to hook up truck via phone.
Thanks for the help
Thanks millions! I just bought a scanner and am beginning to familiarize myself with it. Your vid has helped point me in the right direction. Just wish I'd known there was an app for that. LOL
Thanks again.
Incredible!! Thanks
Are these devices able to read the ECU mileage so as to make a comparison between the ECU and the Odometer? Cheers.
Useful Video, Ben. Thanks!
for mitsubishi outlander 2003. do you know where is the fuse for the odb2 port? i don't see it in owner's manual. i plugged in the reader but i can't get a reading
@Shawn Deyoung the app is called GoPoint
Thanks bro I appreciate it
i need to check troubleshooting with Carmen scanner VG plus
CAR AND DRIVER, OBD-II scan tool test and verify each CAN module on the CAN bus?

Hi, would like to know if i can with the app program a new key to the car's computer?
Question
When ever I go into my I/M readiness on my obd2 the cat and 02 sensors are checked green, but I have code po420
My new ODB II scanner, goes through the routines on connecting, but at the end it says :\"Link Error". What do I do?
do all the OBDs carry the technical details about the different models of cars or is it in the computer of each car .
Very helpful video
And I got a question
How much is the app obd II.
thank you!!
Awesome Video Ben,
I've been learning about Code readers at first, then 3 hours latter, I learned about CAN or CAN bus, but I'm pretty smart now about the whole OBD2 scanners. What I don't know, even though I know that cars/trucks are CAN BUS OBD2 if they were manufactured after 2008. We have a few cars in our family. I would like to get one, especially if we're going out and blowing $1000 on a truck, like we did yesterday, and drive it 2 hours to get home, to find out that it has problems. I have learned a lot, but even after 3 hours of research and learning, I still have questions. Maybe you can help.
Q1. Will a CAN or CAN BUS OBD2 Scanner work with cars older than 2003?
Q2. Do I buy a nice OBD2 Scanner, or a CAN OBD2 Scanner?
Q3. What's the difference between one that does ABS and a regular OBD2 Scanner?
after a whole 3 hours you STILL have questions ?
ah ha ha ah haha . what kind of dummy are you ? 😂Ah ha ha ha 🤣 ! !!
hi,what a good video and straight forward to, however i have recently bought a nitro performance chip tuning box for my suzuki vitara gv1600 54 plate, as my suzuki seems to be quite thirsty for the fuel and uses quite a bit of it, i have had the obvious things like getting it checked to see if any fuel lines are ruptured or if the fuel tank has any small leaks but all are in perfect condition, the small nitro box gets plugged into the obd2 port and is to be left plugged into it so it can remap and adjust my cars ecu to the way that its driven by me and by which i hope to possibly cut down my fuel costs with the car, the nitro box seemingly makes these adjustments over the first 150 to 200 miles, however before i go and get the nitro box plugged in can you please tell me if you have used any products on the market like this nitro perfrormance chip box, i really dont want to have to think about possibly parting ways with my car as i love it and have had not a single thing go wrong with it since i bought it abt 3 years ago, any information would be welcome and thanks for taking the time to read and help out,,,
I have a old Molar Timing Diagnostic Computer looks like a timing gun. It gives your rpm it also has a button for DW ADV and TEST and an up and down ARROW. IT has four wire red black green and box for number one spark plug wire. I need to know where to hook the green wire around on the motor.
Thank you so much for this video! 👍🏾

I have this Autel AL519 and I want to do the print out report but not have it in raw data, what do I do?
What is the name of the app that you must apload to scan your car
What do the letters mean after picking vehicle type?
Can OBD 2 scanner(code reader?) tell if the drive cycle is completed?
I have a problem with catalytic converter reading after I replaced the O2 sensor at the smog test station.("not ready")
Everything else seems to be in good order including the oxygen sensor I just replaced.
The guy at the station told me just drive a hundred miles or so until the drive cycle is completed.
But how do I know if the cycle was completed?
Does the iPhone cable also work for OBD1
yes
Thanks boss, I needs to learn more
in your mind, what's a good brand scan tool?
How does the transmission system valve body actually function to effect a change in gear .
What's the ap called
cool products
Esta bueno queiro mas informacion
My question, which I cannot find anywhere on the Internet, is once you have attempted to address a problem, should you clear the code and do a drive cycle or do a bunch of random driving and hope the code clears itself? Which is better or more accurate or faster?
example: I have replaced my o2 sensors and that came off teh scan as soon as it was done. I replaced my EGR valve and the scan still says "insufficient flow" even after driving 15 miles on the highway. So I threw some gas additive and drove some more. CEL is still on. So I finally cleared the codes and have been driving, hoping that will work. After 5 miles, the CEL did not come back on, the scan says no issues BUT when I click on "check codes" It tells me "insufficient flow" still! Is that because it has a "freeze codes" and is reading that to me, which doesn't apply anymore? Or is it still reading insufficient flow? The CEL is not on yet?! How is it reading codes when it says there are no codes? Did I clear it or is there still a problem I should check for? The hoses are clean,. the valve is new, WHA?!
Where can u get the connection to ur I phone and how much is it
Which is less expensive, buying a code reader or purchasing the cable for your phone and the application to run it?
hi, I'm on the process of changing the two front oxygen sensors on my 2003 E500 and I need your opinion regarding some info I've found online, i've copied it and I'll post it below here it is [ Replacing a failed oxygen sensor may be all that you need to do, but be aware that older catalytic converters may not play well with them. Likewise, when you change out your catalytic converter, you'll need to change out your O2 sensors.May 18, 2016]
I have a 2000 lincoln towncar that was having a smell of gas from the exhaust a year ago. both the right and left bank converters had been replaced and then had to have the right bank replaced again. The service manager and mechanic didn't even use the obd-2 to scan the engine and just looked for leaks. I feel like I had a dirty or defective map sensor and still get some hesitation and odor of gas occasionally. I would like a recommendation for a good obd-2 scanner for a car this model.
plant-lover "for a car this model" That's not how it works. Go to the store, and read the box. Do some research. Read some reviews. Professional mechanics use simple OBD2 scanners, as well as more complicated scanners. It depends on what you're willing to spend and what works for you. Do you need a 2000 dollar scanner that has a lot of info that you might not need or be able to understand? Or a more simple 100 to 300 dollar scanner that most people get?
What is the name of this obd2 scanner's brand?
hi i got a obd2 scanner for my phone. but he cant talk with my ecu. i dont know what to do now. i got a audi a3 1.8 1997 im from holland.
is it possible to get DTC data while car running
around 2:24 you say that it could be a problem with the way the fuel system is detecting or the way it's working. I suppose that means the way the O2 sensor is either Reading, or Sending info, (not sure which, please clarify), or the way the fuel sys. is working, like maybe clogged fuel injectors ?
Any clarification about these points would be helpful.
How can I use bluetooth with the app? thanks-
Anyone have a link to the OBD II iphone 5 cable? Anyone have a link to the app?

I have Malibu 2005 and the remote key stopped working, how to find out what is wrong and how to fix it, I checked the remote at the Dealer and they say nothing wrong with the remote.
Is the scanner adapter can help with that? how to reprogram the remote if this is the problem. ( I replaced the battery in the Malibu and not sure if the remote worked after that).
Thanks,
