Understand What Your Engine Is Telling You
When your check engine light appears, knowing where to start makes all the difference.
The V500 OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner provides a straightforward way to read supported engine fault codes, review diagnostic information, and access available live vehicle data through an integrated color display.
With dedicated navigation buttons and a wired OBD-II connection, it puts essential diagnostic functions into one handheld tool.
Choose from Red or Orange, both offering the same core functionality.
Check Compatibility Before You Buy
The V500 is designed for vehicles equipped with a compatible OBD-II diagnostic system.
Its wired connector plugs into the vehicle's diagnostic port, allowing access to supported engine-related diagnostic information.
Before ordering:
- Confirm that your vehicle supports standard OBD-II diagnostics.
- Check that your vehicle has an accessible, compatible OBD-II port.
- Be aware that supported functions and available data can vary by vehicle.
- Do not assume that all vehicles manufactured after 1996 are compatible, particularly outside markets with the same OBD-II requirements.
Works With
Vehicles supporting the scanner's listed OBD-II communication protocols and relevant diagnostic functions.
Not Intended For
Vehicles without a compatible OBD-II interface, or users requiring comprehensive diagnostics of manufacturer-specific systems such as ABS, SRS, or transmission modules.
The V500 is primarily an engine-related OBD-II diagnostic tool. It is not a replacement for every function of a professional automotive diagnostic platform.
Read Fault Codes With Greater Clarity
The V500 helps you explore supported engine diagnostic trouble codes directly from its built-in display.
Read stored fault codes, use the DTC lookup function to access available code information, and clear supported codes when appropriate.
Additional diagnostic functions include freeze-frame information and I/M readiness monitoring, helping you review the data available from a compatible vehicle.
The dedicated DTC button provides direct access to a key diagnostic function without navigating through an external phone application.
Important: Clearing a diagnostic code does not repair the condition that caused it. If the underlying issue remains, the warning may return.
View Live Vehicle Data On Screen
Go beyond stored fault codes with the V500's live data display.
On supported vehicles, the scanner can present available engine parameters such as engine RPM, coolant temperature, vehicle speed, and calculated engine load.
The data stream and graphical curve functions provide another way to view changing vehicle information while the diagnostic connection is active.
The V500 also includes a voltage display function for checking available battery voltage information.
Actual parameters, update behavior, and readings depend on the vehicle and supported diagnostic data.
A Dedicated Tool For Everyday Diagnostics
The V500 brings its screen, control buttons, and diagnostic connector together in one handheld unit.
Its wired connection eliminates the need for Bluetooth pairing or a separate mobile application for the scanner's built-in functions.
The integrated controls include DTC, EXIT, directional navigation, and OK buttons, offering direct interaction with the device's menu system.
Whether kept in a garage or used for occasional vehicle checks, the V500 provides a practical option for accessing supported diagnostic information.
What to expect: This is a handheld engine-related code reader, not a comprehensive vehicle programming or advanced service tool.
Choose Your V500 Color
The V500 is available in two color options, each with the same advertised diagnostic functions, color display, navigation controls, and wired OBD-II connection.
V500 Red
A red front housing with black trim, control buttons, and connecting cable. A bold, practical appearance that stands out in a toolbox or garage.
V500 Orange
An orange front housing with the same black trim, button configuration, display, and connecting cable. A high-visibility color option with identical advertised functionality.
Both options include one V500 diagnostic scanner with its attached OBD-II connection cable.
