Review: Basic OBD-2 reader, great for troubleshooting, great for making sure car is ready for emissions - This is not a miracle tool! An OBD-2 reader READS CODES off the ECU. It does not diagnose. It does not know anything except what the code is. It works great for that, it is accurate, easy to use, and inexpensive ($24 now? I probably paid that 9+ years ago). This is a passive scanner, it can clear codes but not much else. It can't, for example, select what tire you have on your Honda (our Honda has 2 rim diameters and 2 tire types for each diameter to choose from, a fancy OBD-2 tool will allow you to select which one) or activate your ABS when you're bleeding brakes (like on our Suburban). I got this originally Nov 30, 2016, because my car had a check engine light ("CEL") on. I was an automotive service writer but tracking down a sensor problem was very time consuming and I didn't want to put my guys through that (the lead tech did use his OBD-2 tool to bleed the brakes on my Suburban though). So I did the troubleshooting myself. Ends up that my O2 sensor code (P0037, heater element in downstream O2 sensor is not working) ended up a burnt pin on the ECU! I had to replace the ECU to get the car to pass emissions. My registration had expired due to the emissions. After the new ECU I drove very discretely at night across the state line with the ANCEL plugged in, checked it whenever I came to a stop, and when it was ready I literally drove it to my work (where we do emissions), parked the car, and called my wife for a ride. The next morning someone ran it through emissions (I was not allowed to since it's my car) and it was good. Another car had an intermittent CEL (Chevy Suburban). Knock sensor. This vehicle was known to have intermittent knock sensor issues, especially around rain/moisture weather (water pools where the sensor is). I used the Ancel to clear the light then to see when the vehicle was ready for emissions, then brought it to emissions. I ended up replacing the knock sensors maybe 6 years later, but I passed 3 emissions tests with the sensors working only intermittently. The last time I used it was about 5 months ago, needed to pass emissions but had a new battery (and the engine was out so there was no power for a bit) and therefore the system wasn't ready ("incomplete" status for the various self checks). I drove around with the ANCEL plugged in, checked it every now and then, and when it was ready I went home and parked the car. Passed emissions the next day. I really like this tool, it's simple, useful, easy to use.
Review: Reads codes, just works - Cheap and easy way to get codes. I would get this since if all you need is ot read codes since it's so cheap. Very simple interface, good product

## Features

- CEL Doctor: The ANCEL AD310 is one of the best-selling OBD II scanners on the market and is recommended by Scotty Kilmer, a YouTuber and auto mechanic. It can easily determine the cause of the check engine light coming on. After repairing the vehicle's problems, it can quickly read and clear diagnostic trouble codes of emission system, read live data & hard memory data, view freeze frame, I/M monitor readiness and collect vehicle information.
- Sturdy and Compact: Equipped with a 2.5 foot cable made of very thick, flexible insulation. It is important to have a sturdy scanner as it can easily fall to the ground when working in a car. The AD310 OBD2 scanner is a well-constructed mechanic tool with a sleek design. It weighs 12 ounces and measures 8.9 x 6.9 x 1.4 inches. Thanks to its compact design and light weight, transporting the device is not a problem. The buttons are clearly labelled and the screen is large and displays results clearly.
- Accurate Fast and Easy to Use: The AD310 scanner can help you or your mechanic understand if your car is in good condition, provides exceptionally accurate and fast results, reads and clears engine trouble emission codes in seconds after you fixed the problem. This device will let you know immediately and fix the problem right away without any car knowledge. No need for batteries or a charger, get power directly from the OBDII Data Link Connector in your vehicle.
- OBDII Protocols and Car Compatibility: Many cheap scan tools do not really support all OBD2 protocols. AD310 scanner as it can support all OBDII protocols such as KWP2000, J1850 VPW, ISO9141, J1850 PWM and CAN. This device also has extensive vehicle compatibility with 1996 US-based, 2000 EU-based and Asian cars, light trucks, SUVs, as well as newer OBD2 and CAN vehicles both domestic and foreign. Pls confirm with our customer service whether it is compatible with your vehicle before purchasing.
- Home Necessity and Worthy to Own: This is an excellent code reader to travel or home with as it weighs less and it is compact in design. You can easily slide it in your backpack as you head to the garage, or put it on the dashboard, this will be a great fit for you. The AD310 is not only portable, but also accurate and fast in performance. Moreover, it covers various car brands and is suitable for people who just need a code reader to check their car.
- The AD310 only supports the diagnosis of emission-related issues. If the engine fault is unrelated to the emission system, it cannot read the engine fault codes. The AD310 only supports use with the OBDII interface. If your vehicle has an OBDI interface, diagnosis cannot be performed even if an OBDII adapter is used.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the AD310 work with my vehicle?**
A: Yes. AD310 works with most 1996+ US, 2001+ EU, and 2005+ Asian OBD2-compliant cars, SUVs, and light trucks with a 16-pin OBD2 port. Please check OBD2 compatibility before purchase

**Q: What systems can the AD310 diagnose?**
A: AD310 is designed for engine-related OBD2 diagnostics. It can read and clear check engine light codes, view freeze frame, I/M readiness, and live data. It does not support ABS, SRS, TPMS, transmission, or service reset functions.

**Q: Can it clear codes and turn off the check engine light?**
A: Yes. AD310 can clear engine fault codes and turn off the check engine light after the problem is fixed. If the issue is still present, the light may come back on until the vehicle is properly repaired.

**Q: Does it tell me which part to replace?**
A: AD310 shows the fault code and code definition to help you understand what system may have a problem. A code does not always mean one specific part is bad, so further inspection may be needed before replacing parts.

**Q: Can it show live sensor data?**
A: Yes. AD310 can display supported real-time engine data such as RPM, coolant temperature, fuel trim, oxygen sensor data, MAF, MAP, and more. Available data may vary by vehicle model and ECU support.
