Actron CP9410 PocketScan Plus Diagnostic Code Reader for OBDII Vehicles reads, displays, and clears diagnostic trouble codes–the reason the check engine light is on. By interpreting the signals which caused a car’s “check engine” light, this decoder and analyzer can refer the problem by code, directly to the user. An on-screen indicator points to the urgency level of the specific code and an online database explains the code’s causes, severity, and symptoms. This item has USB connectivity which can keep it up-to-date for future vehicles as well. It is compatible with all 1996 and newer vehicles. This is a perfect Father’s Day, birthday or Christmas gift for the curious males among us all.
