AutoEnginuity's ScanTool is a professional diagnostics scan tool for all OBDII compliant vehicles. It allows you to read your vehicle's diagnostic trouble codes, live vehicle sensors (including wide-band O2 sensors), and inspection/maintenance system test results to quickly determine what service the vehicle requires. This scan tool now even supports CAN¹.

The ScanTool was designed to be as easy to learn as it is powerful. It comes with an automated installation process, a complete and comprehensive User's Guide, and an easy-to-use interface. You won't have to spend valuable time learning another piece of software; you can focus on what's important - servicing the vehicle. This hardware and software combination is available to work with Windows-based personal computers, Windows Mobile (formerly Windows CE) 2002 and 2003 compliant PDAs, and Palm computing devices.

Something ScanTool offers that the others don’t:

Bi-directional support. You have the ability to initiate system and component tests.²
Mode 6 support. If a system test fails, now you can see the results from the failing component; not just the system. Our Mode 6 data is fully translated so you don't have to waste hours looking the scale and definitions.²
VIN reporting.
KWP2000 support and CAN (optional) support.¹
Support for the new extended sensor list (that's 83 sensors--now with 2005 sensor list).
Wide-band O2 sensor support.²
Wireless (optional) and touch screen-enabled.
Includes SpeedTracer - a performance analysis software for your PC or PDA!
Most importantly—ALL THREE vehicle interfaces. This is a savings of hundreds of dollars over the competitors unit.

NOTE: CAN or Bluetooth accessibility is a hardware upgrade option that MUST be purchased at the time of ScanTool purchase. It is NOT an add-on adapter, but instead a modification performed on a per-order basis.
