The Autel Autolink Al301 Obdii CAN DIY Code Reader is an essential tool for any car owner looking to understand and address vehicle issues quickly and efficiently. This user-friendly device empowers you to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) on all 1996 and newer OBDII-compliant vehicles, saving you time and money on unnecessary trips to the mechanic.
Designed for simplicity and effectiveness, the Autel AL301 plugs directly into your vehicle’s OBDII port, instantly providing access to your car’s diagnostic system. It supports multiple trouble code types, including generic codes, pending codes, and manufacturer-specific codes, giving you a comprehensive understanding of any problems your vehicle might be experiencing.
With its clear, backlit LCD display, the Autel AutoLink AL301 shows you the Diagnostic Trouble Codes and their descriptions directly. This allows you to quickly identify the source of the check engine light or other warning indicators. Beyond just reading codes, the AL301 enables you to erase these DTCs and reset the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), effectively turning off the check engine light after repairs are made.
The AutoLink AL301 also retrieves your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), which is crucial for accurate vehicle identification and part lookups. Furthermore, it performs I/M Readiness testing. This Inspection/Maintenance Readiness function lets you check the status of your vehicle’s emission systems, ensuring your car is ready for emissions testing.
