Got a OBD reader for 40 bucks and it takes a lot of the stress off. Highly recommend to anyone who doesn’t have one yet. You can look up the code, and usually that steers you to what part you need. Saves time, money, and stress.
Or you can also go to any auto parts store and they’ll do an OBD reading for you for free and give you a printout of the code.
Forty bucks is a ripoff. I got a Bluetooth one for like 10.
I’ve had good luck on Android with these, but I’ve had no luck getting two different ones to connect to iOS for some reason, and they even boldly claim iOS compatibility right on the unit. I just grab my old Android when I need to check it.
It’s a Bluetooth incompatibility. There’s something wrong with most scanners and how they support Bluetooth Low Energy.
I bought this scanner in 2020 and the one I bought then has worked fine across two different iOS phones.
Seconded the Veepeak. It's still an ELM327 clone but a high quality one so if you get one that says it supports BTLE, it works on IOS. Mine does.
$2.65, but I'm sure it's proprietary app is snooping, so I just use an old phone when I have to check anything out.
Pay $5 for the Torque app.
There wasn't a proprietary app that I can recall, and +1 on Torque that's what I use
Lol, seems I already had it purchased. I'll be honest, I haven't used the little blue guy in years after getting a newish Avalon.
Yeah this is front of mind for me lately because I need to figure out where mine is now that the 40mpg grocery getter is throwing a code
Usually they have a standard chip like an ELM327 clone (basically all the cheap ones) so you can use any app
Here they charge you for the readout 🙂
Well that’s not very nice.
If $40 is too much for you, Auto Zone, Advance Auto Parts, and O'Reillys all have free code readers you can use. If your car can make it there.
Yeah, mine just started nagging me about some emissions bull shit as soon as it rolled over to 100,000 miles.
