Roadi RDT40 Diagnostic Trouble Code Reader for Universal Brands of OBD2 Vehicles Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just purchased this OBDII code reader to help me with my pathfinder issues. Never owned one before. I saw all the other OBD's on amazon. The most popular looked to be the actron. However, I liked that this one most probably made in china is sold from Roadi in Michigan. I figured if it broke I could at least call them and complain. So far I hooked it up to my vehicle it worked just fine, gave me all the error codes and I was able to clear the coded for now to test the new sensor I just installed. The instruction manual was clear. I read other reviews that say others had little or no manual with their readers. All in all a powerful little tool that seems to be a great buy.

Affordable, Reliable Handheld Automotive Diagnostics
Beginning in the 1980s new cars and trucks began to be wired with a varietyof computerized diagnostic systems designed to improve efficiencies, simplifytroubleshooting and minimize the need for repairs. These systems produceindicators known as diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) internally, usually indicatingsomething out of the ordinary by illuminating the "check engine"/malfunctionindicator light (MIL) on the dashboard of your car. In the 1990s these systems,codes and the hardware connectors used to access them were standardizedin North America as OBD (onboard diagnostics) and later OBD-II. Europe andJapan have their own equivalents of EOBD and JOBD. Automotive technicianshave long utilized high-end machinery to read these codes, passing the costson to consumers, but now automotive novices and do-it-yourselfers can getaccess to the same diagnostic codes quickly and inexpensively with the RoadiRDT40.
