OBDeleven introduces basic OBD2 diagnostics for every car brand

A growing number of daily drivers are becoming more interested in their vehicles. But as cars become more advanced, it becomes harder for daily drivers to understand various issues and faults. It’s estimated that 25-30% of all faults come from vehicle engines and exhibit common fault codes that can be easily identified and cleared with the proper tools.  

 

The increased demand for a unified and simplified method for basic vehicle engine diagnostics gave a reason for us to introduce a new feature – standardized OBD2 engine diagnostics functionality for every car brand owner.

 

 

Our device was initially designed as a smart vehicle assistant that helps both everyday drivers and professionals communicate with their cars. While we’ve previously focused on expanding OBDeleven's functionality for Volkswagen Group (VAG) and select BMW Group models, a growing number of users and enthusiasts have expressed a need for a single feature that would address the main issue in engine diagnostics across all car brands. 

 

 

Here’s what the newly introduced Basic OBD2 Diagnostics feature allows you to do:  

 

Diagnose every car brand’s engine-related problems by scanning & reading fault codes stored in a vehicle's engine control unit and identifying the fault cause from OBDeleven's entire fault database information.   

 

Clear fault codes from a vehicle's ECU (Electronic Control Units) once various faults have been resolved.  

 

 

Every OBDeleven 2 or OBDeleven 3 device owner can run engine diagnostic tests for any car brand that supports the CAN bus protocol. As a rule of thumb, if your car was manufactured from 2008 onward, you’ll be able to scan it with OBDeleven.  

 

With the Basic OBD2 Diagnostics feature, our device now offers unique functionality for different car brands, meeting the needs of professionals, enthusiasts, and daily drivers. To avoid confusion, it’s important to highlight the main differences. 
 

Volkswagen Group (VAG), BMW Group, Toyota Group, Ford US, and Mercedes-Benz drivers can access Advanced Diagnostics for all control units in their vehicles, use One-Click Apps for car customizations, and access other features.  For VAG drivers, there's also an option to perform manual coding and adaptations.

 

All other CAN bus supporting car brand drivers can access Basic OBD2 Diagnostics, which allows scanning, reading, and clearing fault codes stored in a vehicle’s engine control unit.
