Black & Decker AD925 Smart Scan Automotive Check Engine Light Diagnostic Tool

Black & Decker AD925 Smart Scan Automotive Check Engine Light Diagnostic Tool Review



Black & Decker AD925 Smart Scan Automotive Check Engine Light Diagnostic Tool Feature

  • Displays codes used to diagnose and fix problems
  • Diagnose problems instantly, whether at home, in a parking lot or on the side of the road
  • Urgency Indicators display seriousness of the problem
  • Save time and money by diagnosing codes yourself instead of going to a mechanic
  • When a problem is fixed turn the check engine light off without visiting a mechanic
The next time your vehicle's Check Engine Light comes on, will you know what to do? The Black & Decker Smart Scan AD925 Diagnostic Tool quickly and easily provides color-coded diagnostic information--detailing both the cause of the Check Engine Light, and severity of the problem. This information can potentially save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in costly repair bills.

The Smart Scan AD925 easily connects
to both your vehicle and computer.


Get Critical Information That's Easy To Understand
The compact Black & Decker Smart Scan AD925 is compatible with virtually all automobiles sold in North America after 1995. It easily attaches to your vehicle's ODB-II port, which is typically located under the dash near the steering column. Once connected, the Smart Scan A925's Urgency Indicator will instantly alert you to the severity of the problem and tell you if it's safe to continue driving. An arrow pointing the green bar indicates no problem, while an arrow pointing to the yellow bar indicates that the vehicle should be examined in the next 5 days. When the arrow points to the amber bar, a mechanic should check the vehicle before further damage occurs. If the arrow points to the red bar, an immediate repair is needed.

The Smart Scan AD925 also provides you with the diagnostic codes that are causing the Check Engine Light to come on. These are the same codes that a mechanic uses to diagnose and repair your car. The Smart Scan AD925 stores these codes in its memory, and can be attached to your computer through a USB connection for in-depth research on Black & Decker's Check Engine Light Help Center. This site provides you with probable causes for the Check Engine Light, symptoms you might experience, and tells you what components are most likely involved. The USB connection also provides updates to the Smart Scan AD925, allowing you to stay current with new diagnostic codes. Black & Decker also includes a compact code reference guide for on-the-road diagnostics. Once you have determined what codes are causing the Check Engine Light to come on, the Smart Scan AD925 gives you the option of erasing the codes and turning off the Check Engine Light--all without visiting a mechanic.

Go online with the AD925 for in-depth diagnostic information.


Save Money and Be Informed When You Talk To Your Technician
The information provided by the Black & Decker Smart Scan AD925 can potentially save owners hundreds or thousands of dollars in repairs. Do-it-yourselfers can catch and repair minor issues before they become large, expensive problems. What's more, the Smart Scan AD925 arms automobile owners of all experience levels with the information they need before visiting a mechanic. This knowledge can help prevent you from being charged for costly, unnecessary repairs.
When your "Check Engine" light comes on, the Black & Decker AD950 self-diagnostic tool displays the same information stored in a car’s computer that a mechanic uses to diagnose and fix problems. When the "Check Engine" light comes on, for cars manufactured after 1995, insert the SmartScan in the OBDII port near the steering wheel column. The easy-to-read LED screen displays the fault code – the same information a mechanic will see – for why the "Check Engine" light illuminated. The SmartScan is sold with a reference manual of the fault codes which easily stores in the glove compartment. Urgency Indicators also display how serious the problem is. Arrow pointing to green bar indicates the car’s computer is not reporting a problem, and the Smart Scan has the ability to turn off the “Check Engine” light. Arrow pointing to yellow bar indicates the car should be looked at in the next five days. Arrow pointing to amber bar indicates a mechanic should see the car soon before further damage can occur. Arrow pointing to red bar indicates an immediate repair is needed. Catch minor problems before they become big – and expensive. Visit a mechanic armed with knowledge about what is wrong, including which parts might be affected, and don’t be charged for unnecessary repairs. If buying a used car, evaluate the overall condition of the car before purchasing.
