does it clear check engine light

Yes, sometimes it takes a few tries, but it will clear it. The instruction book leaves a bit to be desired, but the unit is more than sufficient for the average mechanic. I paid 24 for it and later saw the same unit for as low as 6

Yes! So long as your car is compatible with the machine (obd2), it'll clear the check engine light. If you don't fix the problem, the car will simply turn it back on when it runs the next diagnostic check.

yes, after you read and clear the codes, but you can't just clear them and go for an emissions test. I think you have to drive a little make sure they are gone.

Yes it can do this under your control. I imagine doing so also clears the monitors and they must be set to pass a state inspection (if your state checks this). It also displays the status of the monitors, so you can verify if the car is ready for an inspection. It takes most cars a certain number of miles and drive cycles to set all of them. If there are problems, the check engine light (MIL) will come on.

Yes. You can clear your codes/lights easily. But if the fault is still there, they will reset. Also, after clearing the codes, you have to run the engine or drive the car for a bit before all readings will stabilize and the vehicle will pass an OBD2 inspection.

Yes you can clear the code once the issue is fixed or clear it until the light comes back on after driving it around.

No, it does not reset Oil Change and Brake Light, but it does give you ABS codes, and can give you live data on each ABS wheel sensor.

Hello Carlos, Our scan tools and software only read diagnostics from emissions data on vehicles that are OBDII complaint. You can clear codes. However, you cannot tune your vehicle. Best regards, Alonzo ScanTool.net Team

Yes. I was able to clear my code. I'm not sure if it will clear the O/D light, but it was able to clear my internal warning code to replace a sensor.

No. Its primarily an input device that will read engine and transmission data from the engine computer. It can reset the check engine light. But what you speak of is more of a body control module type of function that is achieved with aftermarket interfaces for car alarms and remote starters that hook into a CAN bus.

Hi good questions. This unit will only give you readings that your engine computer has and there is a lot. Also if you have a check engine light come on you can read it and reset the computer. If you get the unit you'll be glad you did. I am.

Im not sure if it is the sensor "monitor". But My check engine light was gone after I replaced this.

I was able to clear check engine lights on my 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse with my iPhone/iPad. But I would assume that it is possible on different vehicles it would not work but the OBDLink is capable. When I cleared the Check Engine on my Mitsubishi it did return because I did not solve the underlying problem (the oxygen sensor).

Yes it will clear codes and give you indication of when readiness mode is achieved so that you can get vehicle inspected. I use this when needed and it is handy since it runs on my iPhone.

Yes. But if you don't fix the problem at hand. The code Will come back everytime. Ex. An O2 sensor will bring a code up. Just because you clear or reset the code, the problem Will always exist and show up at your emission test station.

yes although the dealer will have to reset your light as that takes an scanner that can reset the TPMS system.

I dont believe it does. My car turns all power off to it when I turn the ignition off so has never been an issue for me.

I never reset the light. It should reset after three starts and stops of the engine (or something like that) assuming the problem is corrected.

Not the check engine light but the check emissions light but it should go away on its own after about a day or two if not you're better off getting it tuned.
