Q1: What is a code reader?
A1: A code reader is a device used to quickly retrieve and display data encoded in specific formats. In the automotive field, it typically refers to a tool that connects to a vehicle's OBD-II port to read diagnostic trouble codes, helping identify issues related to the engine or emissions system. In retail or logistics, a code reader may refer to a scanner that reads barcodes and QR codes for inventory, checkout, or tracking purposes.
Q2: Does a car have to be running to use a code reader?
A2: No, a car does not have to be running to use a code reader, but the ignition usually needs to be in the "ON" position (engine off, but electronics on). This powers the vehicle's onboard computer system, allowing the code reader to communicate with it and retrieve diagnostic trouble codes. Some functions, however—like real-time data—may require the engine to be running.
Q3: What's the difference between a code reader and a scan tool?
A3: A code reader and a scan tool are both used to diagnose issues in vehicles, but they differ in functionality:
- A code reader is a basic device that reads and clears diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and may turn off the check engine light. It's useful for simple diagnostics.
- A scan tool is more advanced. In addition to reading and clearing codes, it can show live sensor data, run system tests, access vehicle information, and sometimes even program modules.
In short, all code readers are scan tools, but not all scan tools are basic code readers-scan tools offer much more detailed and professional-level diagnostics.
Tips: Can a car diagnostic code reader save or share diagnostic reports?
Yes. SISCO car diagnostic code readers are equipped with features that allow you to save and share your diagnostic reports. After scanning your vehicle, the device can store important information such as the VIN, detected fault codes, battery voltage, and live data from various systems. Some advanced models can even automatically generate a QR code or a downloadable PDF report, which you can scan or open on your smartphone. This makes it easy not only to review your vehicle’s condition at any time, but also to share the results instantly with your mechanic, service center, or friends for further advice or record-keeping.
