GS500 CAN BUS OBDIIEOBD CODE SCANNER WITH LIVE DATA

 

I live outside the US. Will the GS500 work on my vehicle?  If you live within the United States, all 1996 and newer passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty vehicles are required to support OBD II diagnostics.If you live within Europe and the UK, EOBD (European On-Board Diagnostics) is required. The GS400 on EOBD vehicles. If you within any other country not listed above, the your country may have started requiring OBD in other years or have no mandated OBD II requirements. Country Where You Live Fully Supported Years Incompletely Supported Years United States (gas) 1996 and newer 1994 and 1995 United States (diesel) 1996 and newer United States (Heavy-Duty vehicles with GVRW exceeding 14000 pounds) 1996 and newer Canada (gas) 1998 and newer 1996 and 1997 Europe and UK (gas/petrol) 2000/01 and newer 1996 to 1999 Europe and UK (diesel) 2003/04 and newer 1996 to 2002 All Other Countries 1996 and newer The "Fully Supported Years" column means that 100% of the vehicles sold in that country conform to OBD II or EOBD starting in the year listed. The "Incompletely Supported Years" column means that some vehicles within that country will work with the Dyno-Scan, and some will not. It your vehicle lies in the incompletely supported years range, the page can help determine if your vehicle will work with our scan tool. Does your scan tool support European EOBD? Yes, European EOBD (European On-Board Diagnostics) equipped vehicles work with the GS400.

For vehicles sold in International markets outside the US, the vehicle's OBD II connector pins can assist in determining whether the GS400 scan tool will work with your vehicle. You can also check for an emission sticker under the hood indicating OBD II, EOBD, or EOBD2 certification. Our scan tool works on EOBD (European On-Board Diagnostics) and EOBD2 vehicles. Please note, for International vehicles even if the connector pinouts match one of the protocols below, there is still a slight possibility it might not function correctly. See our FAQ for more information on vehicles sold outside the US. For vehicles sold inside the US, the government mandates OBD II compliance so inspecting your vehicle's connector is not necessary, except if you are concerned that your vehicle might be equipped with CAN. There are up to 5 protocols supported by the GS400. Each protocol uses different pins to communicate with external scan tools. Some pins are mandatory, and some are optional, depending on the vehicle's protocol. The connector may have other pins populated that are unimportant. The OBD II connector has 16 pin locations which are numbered as shown below. CAN/CAN-BUS Protocol Pins  If pins 5, 6, 14 and 16 are populated, the vehicle supports CAN Pin # Description 5 Ground 6 Data 14 Data 16 Power ISO and KWP Protocol Pins  If pins 5, 7, 16 and, optionally, 15 are populated, the vehicle supports ISO or KWP. Pin # Description 5 Ground 7 Data 15 Data (this pin is optional and may not be present) 16 Power VPW Protocol Pins  If pins 2, 5 and 16 are populated, the vehicle supports VPW. Pin # Description 2 Data 5 Ground 16 Power PWM Protocol Pins  If pins 2, 5, 10 and 16 are populated, the vehicle supports PWM. Pin # Description 2 Data 5 Ground 10 Data 16 Power

Does your scan tool work with the air bag (SIR/SRS) or antilock brake systems(ABS)? No, our scan tool supports retrieving/clearing powertrain, chassis, body, and network communication trouble codes only.

Will This Code Reader Work with My Car?(MUST READ)

A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles are OBD II compliant. To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD II compliant, check the Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label which is located under the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD II compliant, the label will designate “OBD II Certified”. Additionally, Government regulations mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles must have a “common” sixteen-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).

For your vehicle to be OBD II compliant, it must have a 16 pin DLC (Data Link Connector) under the dash and the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label must state that the vehicle is OBD II compliant. This label is located on the inside of the hood on most vehicles.

1. When your "Check Engine" light or "Service Engine Soon" or “Check” light is on, stop the car and apply the parking brake, start the engine, and then plug the Geniscaner code reader to the 16-pin diagnostic socket(universal connector) usually located under the instrument panel in the car.
2. Push the Read button and it automatically gets the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS) if any in less than 10 seconds.
3. Identify the trouble codes and retrieve their detailed descriptions by looking up the Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCS) list in the enclosed user’s manual.
