Fast, Powerful American,
Japanese, Korean, Australian and European Vehicle Diagnostics

Reads Dealership Level Codes from 95% of ALL American, Japanese, Korean, Australian and European Vehicles.... Guaranteed
 
Make Your Life Easier.......  

Imagine a tool that saves you hours of time and money, simply by reading the diagnostic fault code information stored in vehicle car computers.

The CodeReader consists of a software program and a USB vehicle interface cable (as well other components) to produce a POWERFUL VEHICLE CODE READER.

There are three simple steps to get you reading codes straight away:

1. Select the vehicle, the Code Reader then shows you locations and pictures of the diagnostic connectors. To read Dealership Level codes you only need to choose the system (say Engines) and make (say Toyota) NOT THE MODEL of the vehicle. This saves you time trying to find the exact model, which other scan tool make you do!

2. Plugin the Universal Plug (UniPlug), to read the fault codes automatically (connector locations and photos are built into the CodeReader program for you).

3. Press the Manufactuer Specific (Man. Spec) fault codes button and walk away

The Code Reader will now automatically read the fault codes and display the code number and code description on the screen. For example Code P1324: Throttle Position Sensor. The system will also read 2 digit codes for older cars, such as Code 12: Airflow meter.

You can also ERASE the codes now as well if you choose.

You can now print the Code Reader results directly to your office / workshop computer and save the results to your PC or Laptop.

Purpose  

  • A FAST direction for Diagnosis on American, Japanese, Korean, Australian and European Vehicles
    During any electronic fault finding and diagnosis use the CodeReader™ FIRST to extract any fault code information quickly and easily. This will give you an instant direction for testing and repair.


  • Checking American, Japanese, Korean, Australian and European vehicles for INTERMITTANT faults
    If intermittent faults occur, they will be stored in the vehicle computer memory generally for 50 engine starts. Your CodeReader™ will read these codes.
    Modern vehicles are capable of by-passing sensors if they fail or are out of range. Often there is no indication to the driver that a fault has occurred. In these cases using the CodeReader™ will reveal these codes.

  • Breakdowns
    The engine DOES NOT have to be running for the CodeReader™ to read the code information from the vehicle. It can give you an immediate indication of where the problem lies and a direction for repair.

  • Customer Report / PRINTOUT for every major Service and Tuneup
    Giving your customer a CodeReader™ printout of a "Code Reading" of their vehicle can only help to build their confidence in your garages work.
    You can have an optional "hook-up fee" for using the CodeReader™ or offer it as a free service to increase your customer satisfaction.
    The more you use the CodeReader™ the easier it becomes to use, and the faster you become at performing a test.
    Checking for stored or present codes during a tune up or service can give you an instant direction for diagnosing problems.

  • Pre-inspection and checks for vehicle purchases
    Ensure your customers are aware of the complete state of the vehicles electronic systems.

  • Pre-holiday checks
    Give your customers piece of mind by offering a pre-holiday check of their electronic systems.

One Simple Connection Method to Read and Erase Dealership Level and Generic Codes AUTOMATICALLY

1. Universal Plug (UniPlug)

Scanner in use

The Rennacs Universal Plug (UniPlug™) scan tool system allows you to "plug into" the On Board Diagnostics 2 (OBD2 / EOBD) style diagnostic connector now found on all later model vehicles.

The UniPlug reads more than Generic OBD2 / EOBD codes. It also reads the Manufacturer Specific (Dearlership Level) and OBD1 codes as well.

 


Left is a typical OBD2 shaped diagnostic connector, generally found under the drivers dash. The EOBD connector is very similar. The UniPlug will also plug into and read codes from vehicles with the EOBD style plug.

Connecting a UniPlug™ to a vehicle

 

The UniPlug™ (pictured to the left) converts the different vehicle signals and protocols into fault codes that are displayed on your screen. Think of the UniPlug™ as a "universal language translator", converting the lanuage of the vehicle into your language.
