I was that impressed I bought the pro software and I was up and running in under 24 hours, and this was on weekend! I looked into several snap on scanners but decided to try and find some decent laptop based software! After reading about US companies that offer it (which is for mostly US vehicles) i found this whilst googling.Įxchanged several emails and they sent me some trial software to try with my eBay ELM. Used it several times but it proved very unrealiable, slow and lacking any decent info. Like many others I bought a cheap ELM interface from eBay that came with some free software. For the cost, why would you NOT have a copy? No garage bill, no running back and forth. Two hours later and I had confirmed it was due to a faulty coil pack. The wife was amazed when he Ford Ka developed a misfire and I reached for the laptop. There is more than enough good information on the web, including videos, to help you. I have since moved onto to EngineCheck Pro and have fixed several cars and have a far greater understanding of how EFI works. I had a Cavalier with a misfire, it cost as much to get ONE code reading done as it did to buy the Vauxcheck software and a scan tool. Have reviewed this product so far, with an average score of

The Gendan EngineCheck is an ELM327-based software system and looks good. Quite dear though ! $250 for the 'basic' system and another $229 for the Jaguar-specific software. That alone would be an amazing troubleshooting feature ! More than just a code reader. You can see from the screen shots that this will show live status of all of the switches and sensors in the car. However, the bells-and-whistles setup seems to be the Autoenginuity system which is a software kit that uses a laptop However, am I right in saying that they read only generic OBDII codes ? For the rest (the Jag-specific ones) does the U581, for example, read and report them but only as a number ? If so, the following list will help translate: This is a subject I am researching also ! The U581 and ELM327 get good feedback according to this forum's SEARCH function.
