AutoEnginuity ScanTool User Guide 1
WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing AutoEnginuity’s ScanTool for
OBD-II vehicles. I hope that our tool saves you a considerable
amount of time and money in vehicle repair and maintenance.
I’m an avid car fan and I love working on my cars. But before
my AutoEnginuity ScanTool, I was constantly limited to what I
could do because the vehicle’s computer hid all the information I
needed to understand the problem. Sure computers make cars more
efficient and lighter; but, they also hide all the information away in
proprietary interfaces. I was required to buy expensive diagnostics
tools or make a trip to the dealer; even for something as simple as a
loose gas cap. That’s a lot of money for the dealer to tighten up a
gas cap and clear a Check Engine indicator.
AutoEnginuity’s ScanTool gives you access to the abundance
of data that your 1996 and newer vehicle provides through the
OBD-II interface. With this data, you can prevent unnecessary and
time-consuming trips to your vehicle’s dealer. You’ll know what
repairs are necessary, and be able to determine whether you can
repair it yourself, or whether it’s something that requires more
assistance. What’s more, AutoEnginuity’s ScanTool allows you to
verify that work you have had done—was done properly. Whether
you’re an independant service shop, or simply a vehicle owner, now
you can diagnose a broad range of vehicles, accurately and quickly,
with just one tool.
