Tools used
We have an OBD2 code scanner. You can buy this from 1AAuto.com. It's a very simple tool. If you've got a check engine light on, it'll tell you what code it is. So this car does. We're going to go check it out.
You need to find your OBD2 port that'll vary from car to car. This one's underneath the dash here. That should be it there. Once you get plugged in, this will power on. We're going to follow the instructions on the screen. Let's see. I want to hit enter. We're going to turn the key on too.
Codes found, one. Let's see. If you want to read codes, hit the scroll button, enter. P0457, evaporative emissions fuel leak, so a fuel cap loose/off. I should double check the fuel cap, make sure it's tight and if it's not that, I'll have to keep diagnosing it.
But that's the basic tool. Then we can go back out and if I want to, I'm going to choose to erase that right now. I'll hit yes. And now my check engine light will be off. We're all set.
Just unplug it from the car, turn the key off, and that's how you use this basic code scanner.

Right on this main menu, if you scroll on the right, there are some different things you can click on. You can click on language and units of measurement. So if you wanted American or metric. The color of the screen you can change, or exit. Let's exit out of here.
Once you're on this screen, hit enter. It's going to scan the car right now. It shows that there's no codes read. The monitors--there's four monitors. Three of them are okay. Now, on this screen, we can read the codes, which we know there's no codes. We can erase the codes.
Next one down is view freeze frame. Freeze frame would only be there if you actually had a code, and it's only going to be some data that you'll be able to see. That's the data that happened right when that code was set. The readiness. We can check the readiness codes if it's ready to pass an inspection. Vehicle info and exit. Vehicle info, turn the key on. Engine off and press enter. We can check the vehicle ID number, the VIN number. Exit out of that. Calibration ID. Exit out of that. Verification number and previous menu.
Let's go back up to readiness. Click on the readiness codes. Since DTC cleared, this drive cycle, or previous menu. Let's click on since the DTCs cleared. It can show that the MIL light is off. That's the check engine light. Misfire monitor is okay and the fuel system okay. You can scroll through and it shows a bunch of other things. Some of the things do not apply. And, it's back to the other screen. So, there's some of the features of this scan tool. If you'd like one of these, get yours at 1aauto.com.
