A C110 Obd2 Scanner, a budget-friendly option purchased from eBay, was recently put to the test. This review details the initial experience and functionality of the scanner, offering insights for those new to OBD2 diagnostics.
Initial connection attempts proved unsuccessful. After cleaning the car’s 20-pin connector with WD40, the C110 OBD2 scanner connected immediately. This highlights the importance of clean connections for optimal performance.
The first diagnostic test revealed a “70 camshaft position sensor” error, lacking the typical “PXXXX” code format.
After clearing the code and test driving the car, the C110 OBD2 scanner reported “no trouble code” upon reconnection. This suggests the initial error might have been historical.
Accessing the live data stream required the engine to be running. Contrary to the instructions, starting the engine with the scanner connected in DTC mode displayed seven screens of live data. These screens showcased various sensor readings, including real-time values and graphing options.
The C110 OBD2 scanner, despite its affordability, provides valuable diagnostic functionality. While further understanding of the data is needed, this tool promises to be a helpful asset for troubleshooting and vehicle maintenance. The ability to read and clear codes, coupled with live data monitoring, makes this scanner a worthwhile investment for car enthusiasts.
