Do all cars have an OBD port?

It is becoming more and more common to have as many as 80 ECUs built into a car's system. ECU stands for "Electronic Control Unit". These units are embedded in the car and they control one or more of the vehicle's electrical systems.

The embedded software in these ECUs makes the car more complex, not only in functionality, but also in the amount of data they provide! Please browse our company's ECU connectors.

For example, we have a specific ECU in our cars that controls the fuel system. Using an OBD reader, you can access this ECU for data about the fuel system!

Generally our OBD connectors are an important part of OBD reader and OBD scanner. You can find the OBD2 port in all gas vehicles produced in the EU since 2001 and in the US since 1996.

After connecting the OBD reader or OBD scanner to the OBD2 port of the car, you can diagnose your car through your mobile phone! Basically, this app will tell you if there are any problems or "trouble codes" with the ECU, and the severity of those faults. Based on the number and severity of these trouble codes (also called "error codes"), the app will give your car an overall health score.

Usually, when your car needs service or an oil change, a warning sign will appear on the dashboard, and you must address these error codes immediately. However, with an OBD scanner, you'll be able to spot bugs months before they show up on your car's dashboard. So you'll realize which parts of your car need repair before it's too late and it becomes a serious and expensive problem.

car maintenance

If your car has error codes, the app will tell you about them and what they mean. But, with the Maintenance feature, you can save even more money and do simple car repairs yourself!

car coding

This feature of the OBD reader allows you to encode a specific ECU, making your car unique. For example, you can customize the exterior lights, disable the auto start-stop button, display the speedometer digitally, and more! Again, the encoding options available depend on your car model. Here you can see all coding possibilities for your vehicle!
