Working good and easy to use

I am really amazed at the versatility of the Exctool Model ET331, OBD II Diagnostic Tool. There are other scanners out there and this one for the price is excellent.It has lots of features like emissions diagnostics, voltage reader, live data and DLC Library just to name a few. It was even able to read my VIN number. This product is much more than a code reader. This is a simple to use code scanner anyone could use. It is definitely steps above basic.The code reader shows correct codes but the description of the code in the DLC library is very vague. I have to refer to the manufacture's codes for a accurate description of what the fault is.This unit has a 2.8" color screen, making it very easy to navigate.Overall, I like it and I will update my review after some more time with it.It does not come with a USB "C" cable to connect to a computer. Nor was there any information on how to use the USB C cable connected to the computer. I am not sure, but to make this work it seems like the scanner needs to be connect to the vehicle, to power the scanner. The computer does not power the scanner by it's self. You would have to bring a laptop to your vehicle so the scanner communicates with the computer. This would also need to be done anytime you need to do a firmware update.In the description of the unit on the AMAZON page under power, it says "battery". That is somewhat incorrect. It does not have any batteries in it. It runs off of the "vehicle" battery what plugged in to the OBD port.

The issue was a faulty high pressure fuel pump. The mechanic's scanner picked it up fine. This one said "no codes".It had one job and it failed to deliver. One star.

I'm an older seasoned automotive technician, I'm reviewing this product based on my many years of experience in the field using high quality tools. This small hand held OBD2 scanner is basically a code reader, it will clear trouble codes, and does give a basic information data stream. Can be used on any OBD 2 protocol based vehicle. Scanner is physically small in size, scanner does have a basic diagnostic library, scanner uses simple prompts to direct user in the operation of the scanner. Diagnostic cord is much to short to be considered user friendly. Unit is lightweight and the quality is somewhat questionable. The digital screen is relatively small and needs to be larger, screen is barely readable, instruction manual is included, unfortunately the print is somewhat small and hard to read. Scanner does not come with a any kind of hard case to protect the scanner while being stored. Price point is considered high for this item.

Exelente

This is great tool to have to make sure you are not getting ripped off at your local repair shop. No one wants to overpay or be snowed into thinking there is more wrong with their vehicle than there is. This small investment is worth every penny.I have had other OBD II readers and some of them have wanted you to pay extra to gain access to specific libraries of codes. This doesn't ask you for any subscriptions or after payment. Once you have purchased the item you are ready to read any code on any vehicle, commercial or personal.You can even help out your family and friends in their time of need with very minimal effort.Even if your check engine light is not on, this can tell you problems before they blow up into big and constant problems. You can also do live diagnostics where you are reading your exact RPM's and voltmeter amongst many other handy features that are out of my knowledge range.I would definitely recommend this product!
