Review: Saved me hundreds - This OBD reader has saved myself (and coworkers) hundreds of dollars. I do a lot of my own maintenance work on my cars, in some instances I can do the repairs and some I take it to a shop. Knowing the code before showing up to the shop may save you a lot of money. I will explain below. Even if you don't do a lot of mechanics this is a good little tool to have. I decided to get one after my wife had a check engine light come on, she took it to a dealer and paid the $30.00 fee to have it diagnosed. They said it was an exhaust system sensor malfunction and a big portion of the exhaust was needing replacement, this repair was quoted at $800.00. We could not afford that at the time so that night I came to desertcart and purchased this unit as it was quick shipping and a decent price. It came in a few days. I plugged it into my wife's car and was shocked when I saw that the check engine light was due to the gas cap not being on right after she refueled the morning it turned on. I literally walked to the drivers side unscrewed and screwed the cap back in and bam light turned off. I am not saying all mechanics are sketchy, but this saved us hundreds. I have since used it for co-workers who have had lights come on. I have helped them replace parts as well. My Recommendation: I would recommend, even if used once every so often you could be potentially saving yourself a lot of money. ## Features - [Effortless Diagnostics]: Read and clear engine trouble codes, turn off the check engine light, and reset monitors with ease.

At the most basic level, the check engine light indicates that some sensor, somewhere in your engine, exhaust, or transmission, has provided unexpected data to computer. That could indicate a problem with the system the sensor is responsible for monitoring, a bad sensor, or even a wiring issue. A fault code which provide a jumping off point in the diagnostic process. Then probably the vehicle still has a an issue. Codes only erase if the problem is repaired. **Q: Can you program chipped keys with this** A: Unfortunately, OS601 cannot program the key. The protocol used in key programming (IMMO) is not uniformly standardized in the OBD-II protocol. So every car manufacturer can use its own communication protocol. What kind of vehicle are you driving? You can search the market for Autel or LAUNCH products, they may have released products for this feature. Please pay attention to the vehicle's compatibility list when purchasing. Generally, the more vehicle databases that professional diagnostic equipment contains, the more expensive it is. **Q: How can update os601? when do i need to upgrade it?** A: Now you can https://jutaauto.com/upgrade-obdscar-os601/ This place found the upgrade software of OBDScar OS601 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for any car owner! *by K***K on August 19, 2018* Amazing product!

Have used on several vehicles and has connected and displayed the expected result. If there is a problem the text displayed if extremely small and 20 years ago I would have had not problem, but I definitely cannot read any of it without reading glasses. This aside it seems to be a good value and does the job. ## Frequently Bought Together - OBDScar OS601 OBD2 Scanner Diagnostic Tool Code Reader Engine Fault Scan Tool for OBD-II Cars Since 1996 - Mardatt 25Pcs NPT Plug Set Pipe Plug Assortment Kit 1/8" 1/4" 3/8" 1/2" 3/4" Carbon Steel Male Thread Internal Allen Head Pipe Plug Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/68688857-os601-obd2-scanner-diagnostic-tool-code-reader-engine-fault-scan](https://www.desertcart.is/products/68688857-os601-obd2-scanner-diagnostic-tool-code-reader-engine-fault-scan) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
