I frequently use different makes of diagnostics equipment at work. OBD Scanners fall into this category. I frequently use them at the road side.

Let me start by saying OBD Scanners are not and never will be a replacement for a full blown workshop diagnostics tool like Autologic, Snap-on or TEXA. But they have their place.

Ok the problem with OBD Scanners is they cannot produce manufacture specific fault codes (Most commonly know as P1, or Volkswagen Audi group 4 or 5 digit codes). They can only produce generic codes (most commonly but not restricted to codes starting in P0). This is a problem with OBD Scanners that is not likely to change.

OBD Scanners can however provide a decent amount of live data. Think engine RPM, coolant temperature, EGR position, throttle position ect.

This is a really powerful and useful function especially if you can view the live data in graph form. Imagine a hesitation during acceleration, viewing the throttle position as a graph and being able to see if the pedal is faulty.

Also they can become an essential tool for any vehicle owner if used with the knowledge that OBD Scanners can not fix faults for you. See this post here How to Really Fix Your Engine Management Light. For instance if you engine management light is on you can check the faults yourself and when presenting your car to the garage you can inform them of your findings.

Another brilliant use is when buying a car. Just pop out your OBD Scanner check for faults. I don't need to tell you how much money this can save do I.

The key feature of OBD Scanners is their price. They are dirt cheap. Unfortunately as with most things in life you get what you pay for.

I can however come to you with a personal recommendation. If you work in the motor trade you have probably heard of Launch. They are a Chinese manufacture of diagnostic tools but their quality is very good.

Launch make many diagnostic tools but by far their best OBD Scanner is the C-Reader. With newer models of the C-Reader you can view up to 4 separate live data streams in graph form at once. The price is very good to. I have done some homework and found The C-Reader 5 available on Amazon for £33.98 UK or $65 US as I know a lot of you reading this are from the US I will post links for both countries.

My personal experience with this tool is brilliant. If you decide to buy one I am positive you will find it awesome too.

Have you had any experience with OBD Scanners? Are they under-rated? Please comment below.

5 Most Common Car Diagnostic Codes

Here are the five most common diagnostic codes you will likely experience at some point during the lifespan of your vehicle.

1. OXYGEN SENSOR

CODES: PO171-P0175

One of the most common car problems involves a faulty oxygen sensor. A vehicle’s oxygen sensor monitors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust so the engine computer can adjust the fuel mixture to maximize fuel economy and minimize emissions. If your oxygen sensor isn’t working properly, your gas mileage will increase or in some cases your car will randomly stall.

2. ENGINE MISFIRE

CODES: P0300-P0305

Mechanics work on engine misfires on a daily basis. If your engine is misfiring it means that one or more of the cylinders isn’t working properly. If your car is vibrating or shaking while idling and your car isn’t as fuel efficient as it should be, then you might have an engine misfire problem. The OBD-II system tracks engine misfires by monitoring the speed of the crankshaft when the engine is running. The OBD-II system logs a misfire when it detects a slight loss of speed in the crankshaft.

3. EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM

CODES: P0411, P0440, P0442, P0446, P0455

The evaporation system (EVAP) is responsible for containing and removing vapors that are produced when fuel is burned. A loose gas cap allowing fuel vapors to escape from the fuel tank can often be the reason for setting off this trouble code. EVAP includes vent hoses, a charcoal canister, a purge valve and a pressure or vacuum sensor.
4. EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
CODE: P0401
Image for post
The exhaust gas recirculation, commonly known as EGR, controls the engine’s emission of smog-causing nitrous oxides (NOx). EGR recirculates part of an engine’s exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. The car’s computer system opens and closes valves to recirculate the engine’s exhaust gas. Problems occur if the oil hasn’t been changed in a while or the car takes many short trips because the car isn’t allowed enough time to warm up, causing carbon buildup.

5. CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CODE: P0420, P0430

The downstream oxygen sensor monitors the catalytic converter. According to Wikipedia, the catalytic converter is “an emissions control device that converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas to less toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (an oxidation and a reduction reaction).” The converter can become contaminated and increase tailpipe emissions if the engine is burning oil or leaking coolant internally or is worn out from age.

Next time the engine light turns on you should feel confident knowing that it is likely one of these emissions control codes.
