Automotive Scan Tools
Info and Screen Shots
The following applications are designed to be used with the ELM327 USB interface. I wrote the programs to be used with most vehicles sold in the United States from model year 1996 to present. The programs will pull OBD II trouble codes from the vehicle and clear the codes after the vehicle has been reapaired. I wrote the programs to detect and use the appropriate USB port. The auto port detection is used on all platforms for all programs. If you use the Java applications then you need to have JRE (Java Runtime Environment) installed on your machine. Get the latest version. The Python programs are standalone but need to be run where they are extracted.
