An essential piece of kit for all car and van owners – save time and money with this hand held code reader which enables you to troubleshoot any problems in your vehicle by reading the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) that appear when the ‘check engine’ light is showing.

DTC’s are codes that are stored by the car’s in-board computer system in response to a vehicle issue. Codes relate to a particular problem and are made up of a 5 digit alpha-numeric sequence and are used as a guide to help locate the fault in order for you to fix the vehicle.

This scanner has CAN Protocol Support which gives wider vehicle coverage. It resets the check engine lights, reads and clears all generic, and some manufacturer specific, DTC’s, displays the I/M readiness status, views OBD II freeze frame data, displays pending codes, retrieves vehicle information (VIN), and determines the status of the malfunction indicator (MIL) lamp.

Unlike earlier versions the GS400 displays the DTC definitions on the backlit and easy-to-read screen and also saves up to 15 scans for later viewing.

Communication Protocols Included

1. C.A.N. (Controller Area Network)
2. KWP 2000 ISO 14230-4
3. ISO 9141
4. J1850PWM

Will this code reader work with my car?

The CAN OBD II Code Reader Scanner is compatible with all OBD II compliant vehicles including those equipped with the next-generation protocol Control Area Network (CAN).

For your car or van to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16 pin data link connector underneath the dashboard and the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label must state that the vehicle is OBD II compliant too. Please note that the GS400 is not compatible with cars manufactured in Australia.

As a basic guideline, ALL cars began to be manufactured with OBD? in the following years:

?
• USA: 1996
?
• Canada: 1998
?
• Europe/UK (petrol): 2000-01
?
• Europe/UK (diesel): 2003-04??

SOME cars were manufactured with OBD before this, but it does depend on the make and model:?

?
• USA: 1994 and '95
?
• Canada: 1996 and '97
?
• Europe/UK (petrol): 1996-'99
?
• Europe/UK (diesel): 1996 - '02

For specific compatibility information please check your vehicle¡¯s user guide or with the manufacturer. Please do bear in mind that while we do our very best to provide accurate information we cannot be held responsible in the unlikely event that this code reader does not work with a certain car or van.
