5) Now with Mode 06 - you can get ECU self-monitoring test results. Helps you fix your car and helps keep repair costs down!
6) Check if your car is ready for emission tests.
7) Check all of the sensors at one screen
8) Car Scanner works with any vehicle that uses the OBD 2 standard (most vehicles built after 2000, but can work for vehicles as far back as 1996, check carscanner.info for more details).
9) Car Scanner includes a lot of connection profiles, that gives you some extra features for Toyota, Mitsubishi, GM, Opel, Vauxhal, Chevrolet, Nissan, Infinity, Renault, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Ford, Subaru, Dacia, Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat, Audi and others.

The app requires a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth LE) OBD2 ELM327 compatible adapter (device) to work. ELM327 devices plugs into the diagnostics socket in the car and gives your phone access to car diagnostics.
Recommended adapters brands: OBDLink, Kiwi 3, V-Gate, Carista, LELink, Veepeak.
If you buy one of the cheap china OBD2 ELM327 adapters from ebay / amazon, then make sure it’s not marked as v.2.1. This adapters are supported, but they have lot’s of bugs.

PLEASE NOTE: Vehicle ECUs vary in the amount of sensors supported. This app can’t show you something, that is not provided by your car.

Attention "bad" adapters! We faced the problem, that some adapters (often cheep Chinese clones), can’t connect to the smartphone or the car. Some of them can even make your car engine work unstable, often lost connection, increase time lag when reading data.
So, we recommend you to use genuine ELM327 or recommended adapter brands.

Comments on Car Scanner ELM OBD2 for Android

★★★★★ Arnel Baga Silvero · May 15, 2026
Great car scanning app! Complete diagnostics helps ensure a more accurate repair of a vehicle's fault. Highly recommended for access of data and pricing!
★★★★★ Anony mous · Jun 10, 2026
Great software. I found another use for it, other than diagnostics. I recycled an older cell phone and loaded Car Scanner on it. I set up a dashboard with different engine checks and used it to have real time feedback from the OBD. If you like monitoring the exact temperature of your coolant, for instance, you can create a dashboard and add coolant temperature to it, as well as oil temp, or anything you want to monitor. You can even set up alerts so that you know right away if there is a problem
★★★★★ taras semeniuk · Jun 7, 2026
Have a question. Can I get DPF differential pressure and exhausting gas temperature valus with the App? This is very painful topic for every owner of diesel motor. So it is possible to define start of DPF cleaning procedure and for measurement of current situation I need to get DPF differential pressure value. My car: Toyota RAV4 2.2D-4D D-CAT 2007, ALA30L.
★★★★★ K QH · May 25, 2026
Killer! Read the codes on my '02 Maxima with my old as hell OBDII mini Bluetooth reader. Just follow the instructions and you'll be laughing!
★☆☆☆☆ Zeeshan Ali · Jun 10, 2026
It doesn't support USB OBD adapter, support only Bluetooth and Wi-Fi OBDs.
★☆☆☆☆ LR96 · Jun 9, 2026
Keeps asking foe Wi-Fi code and will not work used to have no problem with this app until updated
★☆☆☆☆ Luke Crowhurst · Jun 6, 2026
Does not read codes even though there are definitely fault codes app says there is nothing
★☆☆☆☆ Derrick Holder · May 31, 2026
I tried to use this app on my Chevy Trax, and it prevented my vehicle from starting, I check my vehicle diagnostics using a different diagnostic tool that always work, and it couldn't read the computer. I tried my spare key and nothing happened. I did a hard reset of the vehicle (disconnect the negative cable) and then everything returned to normal. Be very careful using that elm and app
