Get all your vehicle’s data with an OBDclick scanner

Currently, there are numerous speedometers and GPS applications available to monitor your vehicle’s speed. However, this data is derived by calculating position changes via GPS, which can lead to inaccuracies. According to OBDclick, an automotive diagnostics specialist, there is no need to invest in expensive GPS applications to truly understand your car’s internal data.

The OBDclick diagnostic tool

If you want to analyze your vehicle’s onboard computer data, the first thing you will need is an OBD scanner. These can be found in automotive stores or purchased online. As the company OBDclick states, “OBD (On Board Diagnostics) is a diagnostic system built into vehicles (cars and trucks). Currently, OBD-II (USA), EOBD (Europe), and JOBD (Japan) standards are in use. These standards ensure comprehensive monitoring and control of the engine and other vehicle components.”
Fundamentally, in a vehicle, all self-diagnostic functions are controlled by the onboard computer. If a problem or fault is detected, the OBD system illuminates a warning light on the dashboard. The system also records data regarding speed and fuel levels.
By connecting an OBDclick scanner, you can access your vehicle’s onboard computer data. To check if a vehicle is OBD II compliant, look for the term “OBD II” on the emissions control label located under the hood. Installation in the vehicle is very straightforward.

Information Control

Once you have the OBDclick diagnostic tool, you can access all of your vehicle’s data. The question then becomes: how do you display it? Simply connect your automotive diagnostic tool to the OBD port, which is located under the dashboard in most vehicles. Once synchronized with the mobile app installed on your smartphone, you can perform the following operations:
• Check for engine damage
• Monitor real-time vehicle performance (speed, fuel consumption, etc.)
• Dyno / Dynamometer Power / HP
• Monitoring transmission temperature
• CO2 emissions
• Clear fault codes

Download the OBDclick app

You can download the app via Google Play. The app is free, while the tool itself costs approximately thirty euros upon purchase.
Whether or not you are a car enthusiast, having access to this type of diagnostic tool can help you prevent serious issues with your vehicle.
