OBD-II Code Reader / Scan Tool

The scanner is easy to use. Ordered this item yesterday and received it today...one day shipping. My 2001 Jeep Cherokee check engine light came on three days ago. I connected this scanner, followed the instructions and it found one error code. I selected "Read Codes" from the drop-down menu and it read as a slow emission leak. Went to a local store, bought a new gas tank cap and, so far, the light has not come on. The scanner can read On-Board Diagnostics II or OBD II for short.

Read this information before you purchase this scanner to make sure it'll work with your vehicle...this info is straight from the scanner's manual. According to the included manual, the EPA required "all 1996 vehicles and newer cars sold in the United States must be OBD II compliant..." Also, "a small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles are OBD II compliant. To verify if a 1994 and 1995 car is OBD II compliant, check the Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) Label which is located under the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD II compliant, the label will designate "OBD II Certified."
