We have all done the same observation when we take our vehicle to a garage : the mechanic diagnoses possible breakdowns using a dedicated diagnostic tool. This simple diagnostic is billed around 50 dollars, in addition of potential repairs which it is difficult to evaluate the real cost and the necessity.
However, sometimes a simple reset of the on-board computer can solve many "electronic problems", a feature available in the « CarDiag » application.
Equipped with an OBD2 bluetooth device (available for less than 15 dollars), the « CarDiag » mobile app allows you to diagnose your vehicle and quickly list all problems in simple and easy-to-understand terms, allowing you to avoid unpleasant surprises. It also allows to turn off the engine light.
The « CarDiag » application is compatible with all vehicles manufactured or imported from a certain date : - In the United States since 1996 - In Europe - Gasoline since January 2001 - Diesel since January 2003 - LPG since January 2001 Features of « CarDiag » :
