Your actually not suppose to turn the engine on but to leave it at accessories to retrieve error codes, the engine only needs to be on if you need to retrieve live data. Peace
Thanks so much for the info on the OBD II Reader! I’ve been researching which one to buy, and I think I’m going to get the one you posted in the video. It seems to be sweet and simple. Many thanks for your help! Keep on Toyota truckin’ !!
So I just got mine, it's the same as yours .page 8 says turn ignition on.DO NOT start the engine. So I'm confused you started it so ,does it matter or not if the car is running.
That’s what the instructions says but I find out that it does not matter, with the engine on you can retrieve live data, like rpm, engine temp for vehicles that don’t show detailed info. But just a mark, peace
Thanks for the video! Mine won't clear codes for some reason. I can scan and find codes, but when I try to clear, it says clear failure and to turn on with the engine off. When I try to do that it says that no codes are stored. It is a P2200 code related to n0x circuit bank 1. I might be doing something wrong, but I have literally tried for hours. If you see this is there any chance you have an idea of whats going on? Thanks and nice holidays to you!
It will show any stored codes with the ignition on and show engine data when the engine is started. So yes, it may show a fault code that doesn’t cause the check engine light to come on, but there are other reasons why an engine may not be running properly which may not have a fault code such as partially blocked filters or burned valves for example.
I can't figure out if I'm supposed to start my Truck or not when I use this. It says turn the nation on. There's turn the Ignition on and there's starting.
To READ the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes), you want the Key On but the engine Off. Obviously, if you want to check Live Stream data, then you'll want the engine running.
The instruction manual for this is so trash, no instructions on how to connect for live data. It says DO NOT start engine, but how the heck you supposed to get live data. Am I missing something or is it safe to start the car.
Excellent review - great job!
Glad you liked it. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Awesome to hear. So glad we were able to make the decision a little easier. Good luck with your job. Thanks for watching.
I have the exact same thing and my manual says to NOT turn the engine on. Curious.
exactly wth
If u are just scanning codes yea but if u are trying to get live readings like rpm and coolant temp or load value the engine would have to be running
Also, mine says not to turn the engine on.

I have the same problem can’t figure it out
It wont clear certain things. Like airbags.brakes abs
@@bigmuller1will it scan airbag light, if so, what vehicle did you use this on
@@Armageddon-qo4wyit’s not made for ABS
Can this tool find the problem on the car even if check engine light is not on but car is not running well?

Can you erase codes without fixing the mistakes? What will happen if you just erase the code right away?
If a code gets erased and the issue isn't solved then it will pop up when the issue happens again
Can the abs reset
I was aware that you should not turn the engine on while this device is plugged in ??
Can this scan SRS airbag light
It wont clear any airbag.brakes and.for safety reasons
@@bigmuller1 I was asking if it would scan the SRS airbag light as in diagnosis
@@Armageddon-qo4wy oops sorry yes it will
@@bigmuller1would you be able to do a video? Or do you know what vehicle it will work on? Mine is not scanning my BMW and Mitsubishi
@@Armageddon-qo4wy you need a decent code reader which connects to a pc.and some fancy software....

Watched on 1.5X speed. Pretty basic overview of one function.
