Our take on the Autel AL319 OBD2 Scanner

The Autel AL319 is a basic handheld OBD2 code reader for cars and light trucks built since 1996. It reads and clears generic and manufacturer-specific codes, shows freeze frame and live PCM data, and has a one-click I/M readiness key for emissions checks. Its color-coded LCD and built-in speaker make it easy for DIYers to use without a manual. It is a step below Bluetooth scanners that stream live data to a phone, but it works standalone and needs no app.
