Car Scanner ELM OBD2 for Windows 10

Car Scanner ELM OBD2 for Windows 10 is a diagnostic and monitoring tool that connects to a vehicle’s ECU using an OBD II Wi-Fi or Bluetooth adapter. The software provides access to fault codes, real-time sensor readings, and vehicle performance data. In addition to diagnostics, it also provides extensive features and functions, serving as a trip computer that offers detailed parameter tracking during operation.

Car Scanner ELM OBD2 for Windows 10 retrieves engine-related information, displays values in live charts or gauges, and stores logs for reference. Its features extend to diagnostic trouble code handling, performance analysis, and sensor data visualization. It offers a free version.

Vehicle health

Car Scanner ELM OBD2 for Windows 10 supports reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes, monitoring live sensor parameters, and logging performance statistics. Customizable dashboards, graphs, and numerical data displays for key metrics like fuel trims, oxygen sensor readings, and RPM. The tool also allows analysis of acceleration tests, performance benchmarks, and readiness monitors. It can export data, perform freeze-frame analysis for fault conditions, and check the status of emission systems.

The interface organizes functions into modules accessible from the main menu, such as diagnostics, dashboard, logs, and performance testing. Each section groups related functions, diagnostic codes, sensor data visualization, and trip monitoring in a separate view. Logs and recorded sessions are stored within the application, accessible through a dedicated menu, keeping real-time and historical data clearly separated. However, it lacks a built-in repair guidance or troubleshooting database.

When connected via OBD II, it initiates communication with the ECU, retrieving live data streams and stored codes. Real-time monitoring updates chosen parameters continuously on gauges or charts, while logging sessions capture sequences for later analysis. Clearing codes removes stored faults from the ECU memory. Performance tests, such as acceleration measurements, trigger timed recordings, and produce structured results displayed within the performance module for review.

Engine data at a glance

Car Scanner ELM OBD2 for Windows 10 provides diagnostic scanning, real-time monitoring, trip analysis, and performance evaluation through its OBD II connection. Its strengths include fault code management, live parameter visualization, and customizable dashboards. However, it lacks a built-in repair guidance or troubleshooting database. While diagnostic scanning and monitoring are its primary functions, features like trip logging and performance testing extend its scope beyond basic fault code reading.
