Auterra A-302 Dyno-Scan for Windows CAN USB - OBD II Scan Tool and Dynamometer Review



Auterra A-302 Dyno-Scan for Windows CAN USB - OBD II Scan Tool and Dynamometer Feature

  • All 1996 and newer vehicles supported, including American, Asian and European
  • Measures fuel economy, horsepower and torque, 0-60mph, 1/8 and 1/4 mile, and top speed
  • Turn off Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light
  • Integrated DTC description databases with thousands of code definitions

Dyno-Scan for Windows CAN USB turns your Windows PC or laptop into a powerful automotive diagnostic and data analysis tool. 1996 or newer cars and trucks are supported - from Acura to Volvo and everywhere in between. Simply plug the USB cable into your PC and the OBD II cable into the diagnostic port located under the dashboard. No hard wiring or tools are required. Dyno-Scan is two products in one. First, it's a full-featured On-Board Diagnostics (OBD II) scan tool capable of diagnosing a wide range of vehicle problems. Second, the dynamometer package measures engine horsepower and torque, acceleration times, and even instantaneous and average fuel economy. English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Hungarian and Greek versions are included with every kit. Free software updates can be downloaded from the Auterra web site. A simple loose gas cap can cause the vehicle Check Engine light to turn on. Save money and diagnose Check Engine light problems yourself by reading the diagnostic trouble code and turning off the light. A few button presses is all it takes to read and clear codes. Internal databases contain thousands of generic and enhanced code definitions so you'll know exactly what each code means. View live vehicle sensor data in a graphical or list type format with record and playback. Read the vehicle freeze frame data, readiness monitors, on-board test results and so much more. Vehicle horsepower/torque and acceleration times are measured and graphically displayed. The performance meter features operate by measuring speed and RPM from the vehicle's computer during acceleration. Once the software has collected the data, a graph is displayed. Statistics are computed for the horsepower torque and acceleration runs, such as peak power, 0-60 and 1/4 speed and time.

The Advanced Handheld Scanner That Troubleshoots for You
Since the 1980's standardized Onboard Diagnostic systems—first OBD-I and currently OBD-II—mandated for virtually all cars and light trucks manufactured for the US market have provided automotive technicians, and increasingly DIYers, with insight into the increasingly complex inner workings of modern passenger vehicles. Traditionally professional grade diagnostic results required large and/or expensive scanning tools to translate diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and other data generated by the internal computer networks of your vehicle when the check engine/malfunction indicator light (MIL) on the dashboard goes off, but now there is a much better way; the Actron CP9580 AutoScanner Plus Scan Tool.

One of the most commonly asked questions that shops receive after repairing an OBD-II compliant vehicle is "Why can't you retest my car now?", followed by "Just drive my car? How will I know when it is ready?"

The Ready-or-Not TM test tool helps answer this question. It can be used by automotive technicians to determine whether an OBD-II compliant vehicle is ready to receive an OBD-II test (U.S. Patent # 7,012,512). The device connects to the vehicle's diagnostic link connector (DLC), and alerts the user when the vehicle is ready for the OBD-II test.

Repairs to the emissions-control systems of a 1996 or newer (OBD-II) vehicle cause the vehicle's computer (ECU) memory to be cleared. The vehicle must go through a drive cycle to allow the ECU to perform a series of tests to ensure that the repair was successful, and before a state mandated emissions test can be conducted.

Modern vehicles lack equipment to indicate whether the tests have been completed. As a result, often times the customer will bring the vehicle back to the repair shop for retest before all the required tests by the ECU are complete. This causes the vehicle to be rejected from testing because the computer is not ready, leading to lost time and frustration to both the customer and the technician.

The purpose of the Ready-or-Not test tool is to provide an easy way for automotive technicians to determine whether an OBD-II vehicle is ready for an emissions test. The device can be loaned to a motorist to aid them in knowing when to return for testing.
