CarMD Vehicle Health System Diagnostic Reader

 

With today’s modern cars, everything is computerized and micro-processor controlled. While cars are technologically smarter these days, it’s definitely more complex for the car owner to make sense out of the many things that can go wrong with a vehicle.

Interestingly, modern vehicles in the US are required by standards to be equipped with the ODB-2 diagnostic and reporting capability. The On Board Diagnostic (ODB-2) system enables the vehicle to report on the various sub-systems throughout the car and identify problems and areas that might be malfunctioning or need attention. Typically, you need to take your car to the the repair shop and have a technician plug in a diagnostic device to get a reading or report from the ODB-2 system. And this places you at the mercy of the repair technician to give you an honest assessment of the items, problems and issues reported.

Now, with the CarMD Vechicle Health System Diagonostic Reader, you can access the same ODB-2 reporting system as the repair shop. With this access to the vehicle’s self diagnostic system, you can easily achieve peace of mind before you take your car into the mechanic for maintenance or repairs. This helps you keep your repair shop honest when you can see the same diagnostic information they do.

The CarMD Vehicle Health System Diagnostic Reader is simple to use, and it’s nice and compact storing easily inside your car’s glove compartment or even in your purse. The ODB-2 diagnostic system is standardized today so this device will work perfectly with almost all of the newer vehicles out there. Actually, the ODB system has been required on vehicles in North America since 1996.

You simply plug the CarMD  diagnostic reader into the standard port, usually at the bottom or under the dash, and in a matter of seconds, the color coded display begins reporting on your vehicle’s health and showing you if you have any hidden problems. This is also an ideal tool when you’re shopping for used cars and you want to quickly evaluate the current mechanical condition of a vehicle. The CarMD vehicle health system reader even helps you determine if you’ll pass an emissions test in advance.

Once you’ve gathered the diagnostic information from your car, you simply plug the CarMD tool into your PC or MAC using the included USB cable. The provided software as well as an online website helps you generate a detailed diagnostic report about your car and even provides estimated repair costs if necessary. When you know in advance before you visit the repair shop what your repair items, parts and labor costs look like, you can make better decisions and be prepared in advance to better manage your vehicle repairs.
