Which vehicles are covered by your diagnostic tool? β–Ό
Our OBD2 scanner works with any gasoline vehicle manufactured in 1996 or newer in the US (OBD2 compliant). This covers virtually all domestic, Asian, and European vehicles. Some proprietary manufacturer codes may require the Elite plan for full access.
