EasyObdII is a reliable program for Windows designed to help you perform automotive diagnostics and maintenance. Basically, it gives you the ability to read and reset vehicle DTCs, view text descriptions of generic as well as manufacturer specific Powertrain and Network codes. Moreover, you can show Stored, Pending, and Permanent faults.
Overview
After launching the utility, you are greeted with a simple graphical interface which is based on a standard window layout. It is necessary to point out that the free version of the product has some limitations. This means certain buttons are grayed out and the functions associated with them are not accessible.
When it comes to main features, you are able to scan your vehicle, display and reset trouble codes. You also have the option to bring up Live Data Menu, Monitor Test Status, Dashboard, Datalogger, etc. The aforementioned data is not contained on a single screen, meaning you have to navigate between sections to obtain the information you need. There is also Auto port and Scantool recognition and configuration.
Bottom line
The software works similarly to other free vehicle diagnostics tools and as such is not recommended to a professional auto mechanic. However, if you are just trying to figure out what is wrong with your car prior to taking it to service, then this is a convenient solution. In case you are selling vehicles professionally and want to find out the VIN number of the vehicle to see previous owners, you may try a useful Android app called CARFAX for Dealers.
