If you ever knew that you wanted to purchase an OBDII scan tool to help diagnose those engine DTC’s but didn’t know where to start… This is the place. When your check-engine light illumites, it usually means one thing; Get to the mechanic! However, what most people don’t know is that with a simply tool, and a little elbow grease, you can usually fix those CeL warnings on your own. This can save you tons of time and money. But you need the right tools for the job, and that’s where the OBD2 adapater comes into place. With one of these simple tools, you just connect it to the OBD2 port in your vehicle, scan for DTC errors, and then find the cause of that pesky check-engine light. Then all you have to do is replace to failing sensor of part, and your car is good to go!

Here we post short reviews of OBD2 scanners that we’ve tested on specific makes and models of cars and trucks. For example, this is the perfect place to find the best OBDII scanner for VW, or an OBD2 scanner for Nissan.

We’ve also put together some handy guides on picking out the right OBD2 iPhone scanner and finding the top Android OBD2 adapter as well.
