Kobra OBD2 Scanner Car Code Reader - Universal Auto OBD Car Diagnostic Tools for All Cars, Automotive Check Engine Readers with Reset (Red and Black)

Great product for the price. Works as it should.

I am grateful to have had this scanner on hand. My car was due for tag renewal and it kept failing emissions due to the "no communication" with the computer. I did this 3 times at different service stations. The emissions station uses OBD2 scanners to pass or fail cars. There has been no "check engine light" on in my car. Sure enough, when I hooked my car up to this personal scanner at home it created a "link error" message. This would discourage a lot of people and make them think it wasn't working properly. However, I knew it had nothing to do with the OBD2 scanner, and everything to do with my car since it wasn't able to communicate with the emissions OBD2 and this personal scanner.I was able to do some research online and tweak a few things at home until it was able to communicate with this personal scanner. It turned out to be as simple as changing out a fuse!! After it was able to communicate with my personal scanner I knew it was fixed and it passed emissions!! This scanner saved me hundreds of dollars from bringing into a shop to be fixed and repaired. I probably would have paid for unnecessary repairs in the process. Very grateful and happy to have this product!!

I have what appears to be a faulty sensor on my check engine light that has been triggering a certain code (the gas cap one) for years now. For a long time, I had to keep periodically stopping at a local automotive store to have them read the code to make sure nothing else was coming up (it never was, but as I drive with kids in the car, wouldn't take the chance that it ever changed). I was getting frustrated - my mechanic couldn't find anything wrong, but I kept getting the code and having to have someone read it. In irritation, I looked on here and lo and behold, found a code reader/reset machine at a reasonable price so thought I'd give it a try. I'm SO glad I did, I love this - it gives me peace of mind that nothing is wrong without requiring an extra trip. You can use it to clear the code too - although I must admit that it doesn't always clear "instantly" as the description indicates... Sometimes I have to run the clear numerous times before it actually goes away; sometimes it does it on the first try. Regardless, this is a VERY minor irritation in exchange for the ability to make sure nothing is wrong. I've even given my sister one, so she has it on hand also - it's a great reference tool.

Great simple device. Item arrived with instruction manual (which included a listing of codes and descriptions) in a resealable ziplock-like plastic bag. It did have the look of having been used before. That didn't matter because it was in good shape and worked exactly as promised. Follow the very simple directions and you should have your diagnostics in minutes. After getting the code and description from the device (and manual) I simply googled my car make/model/year with the code. this further described the potential issue, symptoms I may be seeing and possible corrective actions. My code told me that there was an issue with the MAF (?). I am not a car guy and this meant nothing to me. But after googling I understood the potential issue. Before taking it to the repair place I did the simple DIY suggestions found the internet and corrected the problem by simply changing the air filter. Spent $18-ish on this device and another $10 for an air filter and my problem was fixed. Taking it in for car repair would have cost an extra $100 minimum.

worked perfectly. my check engine light was on and my auto mechanic ran a diagnostic and found a sensor that needed to be replaced. The estimate for the work was $830. This is on a 2000 VW Eurovan which is difficult to find replacement parts for. Since the van was running fine I would have ignored the light but I needed to pass an emission test in order to renew my registration. I purchased this scanner and followed the instructions. The check engine light turned off and I was able to pass the emissions test. Saved me over $800!

Helps let know engine problems

Very pleased with this inexpensive tool. It works as described. My vehicles check engine light comes on because of my catalytic converter not working properly. This is something that doesn’t hurt the performance of my truck and is an annoyance that the light is always on. This tool allows me to remove the code thus the light is no longer illuminated on my dash! Love it.

After spending over $1,000.00 to fix the check engine light related to a very small vapor leak I decided to purchase this product. It did clear the check engine light and as well a low tire pressure light on my 2015 Jeep Liberty. The instructions included didn't really work, I basically plugged the device in and did a scan, there was no calibration or messages, it just stated KOBRA. I waited for 15-minutes and decided to just do the scan hoping it would work, it did. When trying to clear the messages I got an ERASE FAIL! message but the messages did clear on the device and both lights were turned off. The only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because the instructions were really not correct, but this could be my vehicle. Everyone should have one of these devices in their car. I travel a lot and when one of these lights come on when you're in the middle of nowhere it's a relief that you can at least have an idea what's going on. It fits nicely in the glove box and if fairly easy to use.
