The Autel AL619 AutoLink OBD2 Scanner is a powerful and affordable tool designed for both DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics. This handheld diagnostic scanner goes beyond basic OBD2 code reading, offering advanced capabilities to diagnose and resolve issues within your vehicle’s Engine, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS), commonly known as the airbag system.
Key Features of the Autel AL619 AutoLink Engine ABS SRS OBD2 Scanner
The Autel AL619 is packed with features to help you quickly and accurately pinpoint automotive problems. Here’s a closer look at what this versatile tool offers:
Accurate ABS and SRS Diagnostics
The AL619 excels in diagnosing ABS and SRS issues. These critical safety systems often trigger warning lights on your dashboard, indicating potential problems that need immediate attention. This scanner allows you to read ABS and SRS trouble codes, helping you to identify the source of the problem, whether it’s a faulty sensor, pump, or airbag component. By providing specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), the Autel AL619 helps you efficiently locate problem areas, enabling targeted repairs and ensuring your vehicle’s safety systems are functioning correctly. After repairs, you can use the AL619 to clear the codes and turn off those distracting warning lights.
Read and Clear OBD2 Engine Codes
Just like the Autel MaxiLink ML619, the AutoLink AL619 provides comprehensive OBD2 functionality. This means it can read and clear engine-related diagnostic trouble codes on all OBD2 compliant vehicles manufactured from 1996 onwards (domestic), 2006 onwards (European), and 2009 onwards (Asian). Understanding and clearing these codes is crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s engine health and ensuring it meets emission standards. The AL619 empowers you to take control of your car’s engine diagnostics.
Full Suite of OBD2 Test Modes
The Autel AL619 supports all 10 modes of OBD2 testing. This comprehensive capability allows you to perform in-depth analysis of your vehicle’s emission-related systems. These modes include:
- Reading Codes: Retrieves current DTCs stored in the vehicle’s computer.
- Clearing Codes: Erases DTCs and resets the Check Engine Light.
- Live Data Stream: Displays real-time data from various vehicle sensors, allowing you to monitor performance and identify anomalies.
- Freeze Frame Data: Captures a snapshot of sensor data when a DTC is triggered, providing valuable context for diagnosis.
- I/M Readiness: Checks the status of emission systems to ensure they are ready for smog testing.
- O2 Sensor Test: Monitors oxygen sensor performance.
- On-Board Monitor Test: Accesses on-board diagnostic monitoring test results for specific components/systems.
- Component Test: Enables testing of individual vehicle components.

With these comprehensive OBD2 functions, the AL619 provides a detailed picture of your vehicle’s health.
