ANCEL AD310 OBD2 Scanner, Black Engine Code Reader with Live Data

The ANCEL AD310 is a handheld OBD II scanner for reading and clearing emission-related engine codes on compatible vehicles, with support for five OBD II protocols and a 2.5-foot cable (0.76 m).

• Reads and clears emission-system trouble codes — check the cause of a check engine light and review codes after repairs.
• Supports KWP2000, J1850 VPW, ISO9141, J1850 PWM and CAN — connects with a broad range of OBD II vehicles.
• Provides live data, hard memory codes, freeze-frame information, I/M monitor readiness and vehicle information — access several diagnostic functions in one reader.
• Works with many 1996 US-based and 2000 EU-based and Asian vehicles, including cars, light trucks and SUVs — check that your vehicle has an OBD II interface.
• Compact body weighs 12 ounces (340 g) and measures 8.9 x 6.9 x 1.4 inches (22.6 x 17.5 x 3.6 cm) — take the scanner between home, garage and vehicle.

The AD310 is made for drivers and mechanics who want to investigate an illuminated check engine light or review emission-related engine codes without using a separate battery or charger. Its diagnostic scope is focused: it reads emission-related issues through an OBD II interface, rather than diagnosing every vehicle system.

What can the ANCEL AD310 read and clear?

The ANCEL AD310 reads and clears engine trouble codes related to the emission system, and offers several other engine diagnostic views. After a problem has been repaired, it can read and clear codes in seconds. The scanner can help users understand a check engine light without requiring car knowledge.

• View live data and hard memory data.
• Review freeze-frame information and I/M monitor readiness.
• Collect vehicle information for a diagnostic check.

Which vehicles and systems does the ANCEL AD310 support?

The ANCEL AD310 supports KWP2000, J1850 VPW, ISO9141, J1850 PWM and CAN protocols. Vehicle coverage includes many US-based vehicles from 1996 and EU-based and Asian vehicles from 2000, plus newer OBD II and CAN cars, light trucks and SUVs, both domestic and foreign. Compatibility depends on the vehicle having an OBD II interface.

Good to know: The AD310 does not diagnose ABS, SRS, transmission or other non-emission-related engine faults. It cannot diagnose an OBD I vehicle, even with an OBD II adapter.

• Designed for OBD II interface use only.
• Focused on emission-related diagnostics, not all vehicle systems.

How is the ANCEL AD310 powered and handled?

The ANCEL AD310 gets power directly from the vehicle’s OBD II Data Link Connector, so it needs no batteries or charger. Its flexible, insulated cable is 2.5 feet (0.76 m) long. Clearly labelled buttons and a large screen make the controls and displayed results easy to follow.

• Portable, lightweight scanner body for carrying to the garage or keeping in a vehicle.
• Recommended by YouTuber and auto mechanic Scotty Kilmer.

The AD310 suits drivers who want a portable reader for emission-related check engine diagnostics, as well as mechanics who need access to the supported code and data functions. It is intended for compatible OBD II vehicles, not OBD I vehicles or diagnostics for ABS, SRS and transmission systems. Its vehicle-powered operation, five supported protocols and focused emission-system coverage define what this scanner can do.
