Trouble code scanner OM126 by ToolPRO and Autophix 

I would try unplugging and start over. It should auto detect. I haven’t had manual selection work when auto doesn’t. But worth a try

If it's a pre obd2 car, then this reader won't work. Sometimes cheaper to pay someone to scan it.

If your car throws a trouble code and stores it on the OBD module then yes. But that’s car specific. Most cars I’ve had don’t know when they have a vacuum leak. You might get a lean mixture or fuel trim code. You then need to diagnose the cause, be it vacuum leak, bad O2 sensor, etc

I have one of these and it correctly picked up a faulty coil pack and a faulty knock sensor on a Mazda 2. Don’t know about a vacuum leak but something would probably show up that would lead you to that issue.

Did not give trans temp on my wifes Mazda when I changed the trans oil. Maybe some cars it does but I wouldn’t bank on it. I used an infrared thermometer and took a reading off the pan

No. Mostly a reader. Can clear codes, but I haven’t seen any option entering codes or changing vehicle settings

@@thomaswilding8818 thanks for this. Yeah I couldn't find anything to allow programming on this scanner

Is that a DTC? I don't know that one.

I'm confident whoever wrote the user manual had no idea, because the instructions are no help. I suspect recording does not save data in a way that it can be downloaded. Instead, it is saving readings in flash memory so you can review data before disconnecting. Go to the "review" option to see what is saved (before unplugging)

@@thomaswilding8818 thanks will try that.

@@thomaswilding8818 No. It is supposed to allow capture of data for uploading to PC via provided USB cable for reading or printing. See Instruction 3.7 Review and Print Diagnostic Reports. However, it is incompatible with Windows 11. Not yet been able to speak to anybody from Autophix for support but SCA have offered to refund the purchase price. Instruction manual Section 5 UPDATE says compatible with Windows 7/8/10 (8 & 10 are plug and play, 7 requires driver. Who is still using Win7 or Win8?). I've emailed Autophix so we'll see how good their support is. Might be a return on this one for me.

Plug it in to the OBD port - that supplies the power which turns it on.

Probably not. It should connect to engine control module, but wouldn’t expect it to connect to the abs module.

@@thomaswilding8818 ah i knew i shouldve gotten the more expensive version, thanks though ill have to purchase a new one cheers

@@m11ny some cars, disconnecting the battery for a while can reset codes.

Thats car specific. Some cars it only shows what is available on the obd module which wouldn't normally be odo.

Bc it's an obd1, cars after obd2 are after 1999

Don't know. Sylphy would be a Jap import, right? Japan was not fully OBD compliant till 2008 I think. So anything before then is a maybe.

Thank you. That makes sense of why my scanner is doing what its doing when hooked up. Now I can movè forward onto the next task.

Look for a 16 pin OBD port (usually at the bottom of the dash near the pedal. Typically a purple plug) if it has one it will work

@@yowiesdownunder can ve used to clear obd trouble codes if your car is obd2 compatible. Probably won't clear dtc on other modules.

@@thomaswilding8818 my car is 2013 Holden Cruze it says use obd2 scanner ,what is DTC?

@@yowiesdownunder diagnostic trouble code. Is that what you need cleared for pink slip? Is that an emission test?

@@thomaswilding8818 yes cleared for pinkslip ,I took my car to auto electrician said it had codes for misfire cyclnder 5 and coil pack,so a machanic installed new coil pack and sparkplugs engine light still on ,took battery out to try to reset it too,i had a look online same problem with other cruzes if i take it to holden they want. 170$ per hour just to figger the problem out ,so I was going to try the OBD2 scanner

This will only access and delete error codes stored on the OBD module. Not those stored in other modules, like airbag warning lights.

@@thomaswilding8818 because tuitor upload obm not the air bag

Most forums will tell you everything post 1996, or 2001, but most forums are USA or europe. NZ and AU... and most of planet earth, it was 2006 before OBDII was required. I'd be asking for a refund. I do think the SS commodore went OBDII earlier - Holdens with the LS1. Perhaps because they sold them in the US as a GTO.

I assume this scanner won’t work on a Holden vz Ute 05. Having issues with it not starting and want to try and see if any faults are showing that may be causing it to not fire up as it sounds like it’s almost there

@@nitrothunder9937 should work. All LS1 use obd2, right back to vt. And v6 use obd2 on the VZ, so I’m told. Obd2 for connecting to engine module but not body module, abs, etc
