THINKCAR THINKSCAN 662 OBD2 Scanner with Bidirectional Tests and 12 Resets
Product description
A warning-code check and an active component test solve different problems. The THINKCAR THINKSCAN 662 covers both, with diagnostics for several vehicle systems and a set of reset functions. It’s aimed at owners or repair shops who want more than basic code reading. Vehicle-specific support still matters, especially for some FCA models.
How to use it
Connect the scanner to an OBDII-equipped vehicle to read and clear fault codes, review live data, and run supported active tests. Bidirectional control lets the tool send commands to certain vehicle systems, such as ABS components, fuel injectors, throttle, and cooling fans, to help assess whether they respond. Those tests are useful when a code alone doesn’t explain what is happening, but the available tests depend on the vehicle.
The scanner can identify a vehicle using automatic VIN recognition and display ECU data as text or a combined waveform chart. Diagnostic reports can be saved, shared, printed, or sent by email, while history records provide a way to revisit previous scans. A touchscreen paired with physical buttons, plus built-in guides and code lookup, gives users a few ways to navigate and interpret results.
Pros
The main distinction from a basic code reader is the combination of bidirectional testing, live data, and service resets. The listed functions include ABS bleeding, brake reset, oil reset, battery management, throttle adaptation, injector coding, steering angle reset, transmission service, TPMS, and DPF functions. The tool also covers ECM, TCM, ABS, and SRS diagnostics, so it may suit someone handling more than engine warnings at home or in a small repair shop.
Buyer feedback highlights the range of functions, detailed fault information, and convenience of connecting to an OBD2 port. Some buyers describe it as useful for DIY work, while reports about overall functionality are mixed. That makes checking support for the specific vehicle and intended function more useful than relying on a feature list alone.

Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you want a single scanner for code reading, live data, supported active tests, and common service resets rather than a tool limited to basic fault-code checks. Its report and history features can also help organize diagnostic information across repair sessions.
Better avoided if you need a confirmed vehicle-specific function but haven’t checked compatibility first. For a straightforward code lookup, many of the advanced controls may be unnecessary, for hands-on diagnosis, the combination of active tests and reset functions is the more relevant reason to choose this model.
