AutoEnginuity's Scan Tool is a hardware and software combination for Windows based PCs and LapTops.

AutoEnginuity's Scan Tool

AutoEnginuity's Scan Tool was designed to be as easy to learn—as it is powerful. Scan Tool comes with an automated installation process, a complete and comprehensive User Guide, and an easy-to-use interface. You won't have to spend valuable time learning another piece of software, you can focus on what's important—servicing the vehicle.

What AutoEnginuity's Scan Tool can do:

  • Save, print, read and clear Stored and Pending P, U, B, and C Trouble Codes. Supporting P0 - P9 generic and manufacturer specific codes (including the new lettered codes (e.g., P06A0)
  • The largest manufacturer specific trouble code library of all PC/PDA-based scan tools (30,000+)
  • Read and clear Freeze Frame data
  • View live vehicle sensors in a meter, graph, or grid format
  • View oxygen sensor live data and test results
  • View all 11 Inspection/Maintenance systems and Mode 6 data
  • Unlimited logging of live vehicle sensors in TXT, XML, or CSV (1ms logging accuracy)
  • Playback your data logs for offline analysis
  • Run and query specific component and system tests. Support for generic and enhanced bi-directional tests
  • View generic and manufacturer enhanced data on the same tool
  • English or Metric (SI) units of measure supported
  • Configure your sensors' ranges, scaling value, audible alert triggers, units, and sampling rate
  • Savable configurations. Set up the interface to suit your preferences and save it so you never have to do it again
  • Supports 1996 and newer passenger vehicles, whether it be domestic, Asian, or European.
  • SAE interfaces: J1850 (PWM and VPM), ISO-9141-2, ISO-14230 [KWP2000], and CAN [11bit and 29bit]

Something we offer that the others don't:

  • True Plug-n-Play USB 2.0 interface1
  • Factory scan tool options available (not included in base kit)
  • All generic scan tools can only access the powertrain, no matter what SAE Modes (J1979/J2190) they use for communication. With our expansions, you can access dozens of systems (ABS, transmission, GEM, SRS/Airbags, Instrument Cluster, etc.) generic scan tools can't even see. This gives you access to thousands of sensors and dozens of bi-directional controls/system tests.

  • Optional expansions allowing you to communicate with non-OBD-II vehicles like the Powerstroke, Duramax, and Cummins diesels.
  • Bi-directional support. You have the ability to initiate system and component tests2
  • Mode 6 support. If a system test fails, now you can see the results from the failing component; not just the system. Our Mode 6 data is fully translated so you don't have to waste hours looking the scale and definitions.2
  • Mode 9 support. Full ECM information including CAL, CVN, and VIN reporting
  • Support for CAN and even the CAN 6x Mode3
  • Support for the new extended sensor list (233 sensors--supporting the SAE J1979 May 2007 additions)
  • ALL the OBD-II vehicle interfaces in a single cable, rugged case. This is a savings of hundreds of dollars over the competitors' units

ScanTool PC-based

The software is a complete OBD-II implementation.
Something we offer that the others don't:

  • True Plug-n-Play USB 2.0 hardware. No device drivers required.
  • Bi-directional support. You have the ability to initiate system and component tests1
  • Powerful user-interface. Completely resizable, dockable, and configurable
  • Factory scan tool options available for 46 car-makers
  • Support for the new extended sensor list (233 sensors--supporting the SAE J1979 May 2007 additions)
  • Wide-band O2 sensor support1
  • View O2 sensor test results and zoom to "known good" presets
  • Translated into German and Spanish. Not just the software, but professionally translated Quick Start and User Guides

Our newly updated connector comes with our latest software release. Including new features such as save and print DTC and IM/Mode 6 data, playback, savable configurations, and translated Mode 6 data. Independent service shops and emissions training centers will enjoy being able to print DTC and IM/Mode 6 data for their customers. As with all our software updates--it's free!

Having trouble finding an intermittent issue? Data logging can be done in two different formats: 1) XML for browsers; and 2) CSV for spreadsheets. With our proprietary logging methods you can log up to nine sensors with 1ms of accuracy. Whether you logged in XML or CSV, you have the ability to playback and view your logs offline.

With AutoEnginuity's ScanTool you have the ability to view all 11 of the inspection/maintenance system tests. These system tests can also be used to determine if the work performed fixed the problem or whether the vehicle will pass your local OBD-II-based emissions tests. Should a system test fail, you can see individual component results (Mode 6) fully translated and the data results scaled per the manufacturer's own specifications.1

ScanTool gives you the ability to completely configure each indiviual sensor's sampling rate, ranges, alertible audio trigger points, units, and scaling value. Now tuners won't have to export their data to a spreadsheet to convert real-time data from A/D counts to Vs or back again. Simply change the scaling value. Once you have your sensors completely configured, save the whole vehicle configuration. With a double-click of the saved vehicle configuration you can launch the ScanTool, connect to the vehicle, and restore the user-interface as when you left it last.

It's important to have the right tools for the job. Don't waste your time with tools that require you to look-up codes in a book, that can't display the data in graphs, and aren't capable of being configured or updated. With AutoEnginuity's ScanTool you will have full diagnostic code descriptions displayed, visually preview live sensor data in three convenient formats, and enjoy the ability to configure and update your ScanTool as vehicle manufacturer's interfaces change. Buy the one tool that will help you diagnose all your OBD-II compliant vehicles, buy AutoEnginuity's ScanTool.
