The Autel AutoLink AL301 is a basic handheld OBDII/EOBD code reader for cars and light trucks. It reads and clears generic and manufacturer trouble codes, shows I/M monitor readiness, reads the VIN and resets the check engine light. Two buttons and a single plug-in make it one of the simplest tools in its class. It suits drivers who want to check a check-engine light themselves, but it does not stream live data or graph sensors the way pricier scan tools do.

Owners of basic Autel readers generally find them easy to plug in and use for reading and clearing engine codes. Complaints tend to focus on limited features and the dated CD software rather than reliability.
The Autel AutoLink AL301 is an OBDII/EOBD fault code reader. It works with most petrol vehicles from 2001 and diesel vehicles from 2004 that are OBDII/EOBD compliant.
It retrieves and clears generic and manufacturer diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). It also reads and displays the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) monitor status and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The tool resets the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and turns off the Check Engine Light.
It connects with one plug-in and has only two buttons.
