Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN OBD-II Scan Tool


The Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN OBD-II Scan Tool is a code reader that helps auto lovers with an easy and economic way

to check the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).The Maxiscan helps you check your vehicle for OBD-II compliance. Since

1996, the OBD-II has been a requirement for all vehicles sold in the US whether they are domestic or imported.


Onboard Diagnostic Tool

The OBD-II is therefore a second generation onboard diagnostic tool which will help you be on the safe side of the

law. The MS300 can be used to check whether your vehicle conforms to all the current OBD-II protocols which mainly

involves the communication between your car’s parts and systems. This also includes the recently released

Controller Area network (CAN) protocol.

No Adaptor or Battery Required

The Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN OBD-II Scan Tool includes a CD with about 7, 000 DTC definitions that enables you to

troubleshoot a wide variety of faults within your car system. The MS300 CAN derives power from the electrical system

of the car and it therefore does not require an AC adaptor or a battery.

Two main advantages of the MS300 is that it erases all the codes and displays the diagnostic manual. It can also

perform a rescan and retrieve all the I/M readiness status as well display the VIN number on vehicles made after

2002.

On the flip side, the CD is not of much help. The code database was designed for use with Windows 98 and earlier

versions. Once the database has been installed on your computer and you get to look up the p-code numbers, there is

no information displayed. You are only left with the product’s manual as the reference point.

Inexpensive Device

The device is inexpensive and does the job quickly. Provided you follow the rules that are written in the manual,

you should have no problem using this scanning tool for your car. By using the scanning tool, you will not only be

complying with vehicle regulations, but also protecting the environment.

The scan can be used for testing the car for many diagnostic faults that can greatly help reduce the number of road

accidents, helping save precious lives. Studies have shown that the greatest cause of car accidents is human error.

Add a malfunctioning car to that and you have a mixture for trouble. You need to buy the Autel Maxiscan to keep your car in good shape and save lives.
