AD530 OBD2 Scanner-Upgraded AD310, Car Code Reader for Check Engine Light, Full OBDII Scan Tool for Read & Clear Fault Codes, Battery Test & Live Data, OBD II Diagnostic Scanner for 1996+ Cars

Very easy to use and will clear the codes. The auto parts stores are not allowed to clear codes in some states so this is very handy once you have corrected the error code problem.

Did exactly what it’s supposed to do. The instructions aren’t really instructions. They are more like a button guide but not a feature guide. Either way once you plug it in and play with it and go thru the functions you’ll understand how to use it within 5 minutes or less. Bright screen even for night/dark mode. Screen and font are not hard to see. There is even a usb port to hook it to your computer but not sure if that’s for future updates or for uploading your diagnostics. Again the instructions aren’t really instructions. But stil. I used this on my check engine light. I already knew what the problem was but I didn’t know where. It told me exactly which coil was bad, and a simple google search can find my spark plug/ignition coil lay out. Very satisfied with this and hope it continues to be useful on other vehicles. There are really only 4 options you’ll really play with I haven’t done the record or the live monitor while driving but in my case I don’t need to. I’ve identified my problem and instead of paying $400 for a mechanic to do it I’ll spend 1/4 and do it myself.

Easy to use and accurate. Codes read were verified by local dealer. Good quality!

Got it for about $50 on sale and no regrets here. It’s not the most intuitive to use, but most scanners aren’t. Updating the firmware was a bit cumbersome since you have to use a PC to download the file. But for simple OBD code reading and clearing it works well. Not intended to read advanced DTCs like ABS or SRA codes but will read any check engine code. Saves you a trip to the auto parts store and having to deal with the limited capabilities.

Works as advertised, codes are easy to understand, clear backlit screen. Should be compatible with most models, was able to clear a code from my dashboard with no issue.

Great meter and price. Thank you. God Bless.

Came on time and works great

Pros Originally 5 stars, until it stopped working This is accurate described by its advertising. OBD2 scanner for codes, has a library of codes to show what it is, resets MIL, shows live data, shows freeze frame data, does a basic battery check. Ignore the other 'features' because its current functions are all part of basic OBD Generic codes that is mandatory for US car emissions. The only different item is the battery test. Large clear bright color screen with tight pixels, larger buttons, fast response, instant boot is a reason to select this over the lower models of Ancel, which are identical functionally, but with older LCD screen designs ... battery test is nice to have to not necessary I compared the values of live data vs an Innova 5610 and the data is nearly identical .. e.g. rpm, fuel trims, 02S etc., as a check on the reading accuracy, as well as bat voltage readings against my multimeter and rpm vs tach of my car well built and packaged Cons cannot print or save data despite saying on ads and menus very obtuse desktop software worked very well, but froze and died after 2 weeks of heavy use, my backup unit still works well for same period Cannot save data once disconnected from car buttons are not lit, so hard to see if working in car and dark While YMMV on durability
