Read enhanced data, graph engine data, record and playback stored vehicle information. This tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes and code definitions from your vehicle's computer.

Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand. This device is compatible with all OBD II compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present as well as certain pre-1996 GM, Ford and Chrysler vehicles and can be upgraded to cover most OBD I GM, Ford and Chrysler vehicles.

TrueLink Technology:

The Actron CP9185 Elite AutoScanner OBD II Diagnostic Scanner Tool is equipped with TrueLink Technology, a proprietary new technology which guarantees that the entire range of Actron’s AutoScanner OBD II diagnostic tools will link to and communicate with every OBD II compliant vehicle (all vehicles sold in the US since 1996 are OBD II compliant). TrueLink, based on patented hardware designs and software algorithms, has undergone testing on millions of vehicles and has proven to be the most effective scan tool communication technology yet developed.

What Is OBD?

One of the most exciting improvements in the automotive industry was the addition of the OBD (On Board Diagnostics). It is the computer that activates the vehicle's "CHECK ENGINE" light.

OBD1 (OBD I) was designed to monitor manufacture-specific systems on cars from 1981 to 1995. Then came the development of OBD2 (OBD II), which is on all 1996 and newer cars sold in the U.S. Like it's predecessor, OBD2 (OBD II) was adopted as part of a government mandate to lower vehicle emissions. What makes OBD2 (OBD II) more unique is it's universal application for all late model cars and trucks both domestic and import. This sophisticated program in the vehicle's main computer system is designed to detect failures in a range of systems, and can be accessed through a universal OBD2 (OBD II) port, which is usually found under the dash. For all OBD systems, if a problem is found, the computer turns on the "CHECK ENGINE" light to warn the driver that there is something wrong and sets a DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) to identify where the problem occurred. A special diagnostic tool, such as the Actron CP9185 Elite AutoScanner Code Reader is required to retrieve these codes. It is a perfect unit for do-it-yourselfers, tuners and mechanics alike use as a starting point for repairs.
 


Emission Test:

A very important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "CHECK ENGINE" light illuminated at the time of the test -- even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms. The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with the simple keypad used to read, erase, and navigate DTCs, make the CP9185 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.
