Scan Tool Companion is a quick reference guide for ALL scan tool users for help with 1996 and newer OBD II cars and trucks.

This program provides guidance and help on how to use scan tool data when you are trying to troubleshoot Check Engine Light problems, driveability problems, emissions problems or engine performance problems.  Can be used with  ANY scan tool on ANY make or model of 1996 or newer vehicle with OBD II. 

Once you have read out a fault code with a code reader or scan tool, you refer to the Scantool Companion program for guidance.  The program lists possible causes of various types of problems by code, by symptom or by emission control system.  It's like having an expert technician at your fingertips to help you with your diagnosis.

NOTE:  This software does NOT interface with your vehicle.  In other words, it is NOT scanner software.  You still need some type of scan tool or scanner software to read the fault code(s) and data on your vehicle.  What this software does is help make sense of the codes and data on your scan tool so you can fix your car.   The software lists possible causes by type of code or fault, tells what components you should check, and what PIDs might shed light on the nature of the fault.

The software lists the types of PIDs commonly displayed by do-it-yourself level scan tools (which will vary depending on the year/make/model of the vehicle, and the sophistication of the scan tool).

Basic scan tools read codes and display basic OBD II PID data (sensor values, the status of various systems and switches), but they do NOT tell you what might be causing a fault or what to replace.  Expensive professional level scan tools have software that can provide a certain amount of  "guided diagnostics" -- which is what Scantool Companion attempts to do.  Think of it as a "poor man's" version of the professional guided diagnostics software that is found in scan tools costing thousands of dollars!

For example, say your Check Engine light is on and you have a P0171 or P0174 lean code.  Now what do you do?  The code does not tell you what to check or what component to replace.  It only tells you the engine has a lean fuel condition.  Scan Tool Companion gives you a list of POSSIBLE CAUSES, and tells you WHAT TO CHECK and HOW TO CHECK IT.  This is the kind of information that can help you fix your problem correctly the first time.


FEATURES include:

* Diagnose problems by Symptom, By Code or by System.

Scan Tool Companion tells you the most likely causes of symptoms or codes, tells you what to check, and
what PIDS (data parameters) you need to look at with your scan tool to identify the fault.
It also offers expert tips on what parts might need to be replaced and why.
It's like having an expert technician at your fingertips to help you make your diagnosis.

This kind of guided diagnostics is only available in the most expensive professional grade scan tools.

There is even information on Mode 06 diagnostics, what it is, how to access it and how to use it.

* Saves you time, frustration and replacing the wrong parts!

* The program also contains sections to help you better understand the basics of your vehicle's onboard diagnostic system (OBD II), including what it does, how it monitors various sensors and systems, and why it sets fault codes.

* A handy OBD II fault code look-up page that allows you to look up generic DTC codes by number or type of fault ("generic" OBD II powertrain codes only that are common to all OBD II compliant vehicles).

* Tips on how to pass an OBD II "plug-in" emission test (what's required, what they look at, what to do if your vehicle is rejected or fails).

* Quick reference sections on basic sensor operation, fuel injection, ignition and emissions.

NOTE: This software does NOT interface with your vehicle or make your PC function as a scan tool.
It is training software designed to help you make better use of ANY scan tool you already own so you can more accurately diagnose and repair faults that turn on your Check Engine light.
