Description:
This compact OBD2 scanner from A-Premium helps identify check engine causes quickly, offering code reading, clearing, live data and basic battery checks for gasoline vehicles made since 1996. It is designed for DIY mechanics and owners who want a straightforward diagnostic overview before seeking professional repair.
Key Points

The tool also performs an I/M readiness check for smog-related monitors, which helps determine if emission systems report readiness. The unit is handheld, with a 1.77-inch screen and a 3.3-foot cable that gives some flexibility when accessing the OBD port. ⚙️
