One of the standout features of the ANCEL AD310 is its ease of use. Even if you’re a beginner, you can easily operate this scanner to read error codes and understand what’s causing your check engine light to illuminate. It features a classic, robust design and performs fast scans, providing clear trouble codes on its large LCD display (128 x 64 pixel). The screen is backlit in white and offers contrast adjustment, ensuring readability in various lighting conditions. Forget about batteries or chargers – the AD310 conveniently draws power directly from your vehicle’s OBDII Data Link Connector.
The ANCEL AD310 OBD2 scanner is more than just a code reader; it’s a comprehensive diagnostic tool. It empowers you to determine the root cause of that pesky check engine light, perform I/M monitor readiness tests, and turn off the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) once the issue is resolved. You can also view freeze frame data, which captures a snapshot of vehicle parameters when a fault code is recorded. This device reads hard (memory) codes, pending (intermittent) codes, and historic codes, displaying definitions for each to give you a clearer understanding of the problem.
Key Functions of the ANCEL AD310 OBD2 Scanner:
- Read and Erase Trouble Codes: Diagnose the check engine light by reading both generic and manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble codes and clear codes after repairs.
