{"product_id":"obd2-fault-code-reader","title":"OBD2 fault code reader, AL319","description":"\u003cp\u003eA handheld OBD2 fault code reader for finding out why the engine management light is on before you book the car in. Plug it into the diagnostic socket, usually under the dashboard on the driver's side, and it reads the stored fault codes and lets you clear them once the fault is fixed. The supplier lists it as model AL319.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: car fault detector (OBD2 code reader)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 12V, taken from the car's diagnostic socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoxed size: 270 x 190 x 90mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment: for vehicles with an OBD2 diagnostic socket. Check the listing details for the protocols and vehicle years it supports before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractical tip: write the code down before you clear it, then look it up. Clearing the code does not fix the fault, and the light will come back if the problem is still there. An engine management light that stays on is a major defect at the MOT, so reading the code a week or two before the test gives you time to get it sorted.
