The new CodeScout™ AX2500 Advanced Code Reader – from AutoXray®, – provides access to the trouble codes that trigger check engine lights. With CodeScout 2500, users can access the same information car dealers use on ’83 and newer Domestic (OBD-I) and ’96 and newer import vehicles (OBD-II).
Designed as the next generation of the EZ-Read 2000, CodeScout quickly identifies the problem by plugging the cable into the automotive diagnostic port, usually located under the steering column.
CodeScout 2500 performs multiple OBD-I and OBD-II tasks. Under OBD-I, the new unit reads and displays both DTCs – with text descriptions – and Memory DTCs. When supported by the vehicle, CodeScout 2500 erases DTCs and resets the EMR lamp.
- Simply plug the adapter cord into the automotive diagnostic port—usually found under the steering column—and in seconds CodeScout will tell you in plain English what has triggered the problem. You can then determine whether or not the problem can be fixed easily at home or if a trip to a professional technician is required
- If the problem does warrant a trip to the service station, you will already know what problems exist, protecting you from unnecessary repairs
- The CodeScout will also run a check to show if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. It will alert you to problems and enable you to troubleshoot them, providing peace of mind before the testing.
