Even lower regular price on temu for the same item ($3 shipping already included). Do a search for "obd2 scanner diagnostic tool" then sort by price.

A Car Code Reader saved the day for me earlier this year. The lesson is: don't factory reset your car when you have a smog check in weeks.

I was selling our old car and already confirmed the buyer. The last step before transaction is a simple smog check (in CA), simple, right? I factory reseted the car's settings to disconnect all the phones. Big mistake! It also reset all the smog test readings and failed me on the smog check with some sensors in INC (incomplete state). Luckily I had an OBD scanner, but it still took me 300 miles+ in 2 days to get the pass (still one sensor was in INC). Check the crazy driving cycle below, especially "cruise on 60mph and slow down to 30mph WITHOUT breaking" (try to find a road where you can do that):

- Driving cycle: start cold engine (sleep for 8 hours+), idle for 2.5min, drive 20-30mph for 4 min, drive 40-60mph for 15 min, stop in Drive for 4 min
- Need to repeat more than once (with 8-hours sleep in between), never over 3000rpm
- For EGR sensor: smooth accelerate from 30mph to 60mph, let it cruise and slow down to under 30mph (NO BRAKE, can downshift).
- "Fuel System Monitor" stuck in INC (Incomplete), which is fine. The computer will decide if it passes (depends on car model).

Sounds like another good reason to not live in CA!

Is this any different than using the elm based Bluetooth ones with an app like Car scanner?

Me, I've gone with the more expensive but more useful Scan-Gauge 2 which gives a four parameter readout (in addition to code reading) that can mount on the dash or sunvisor in addition . The parms I chose are trip and instant MPG, intake air temp and the like

$150 or so.

For that 60 to 30 test I'd just get up to 60 on the freeway and pull into the breakdown lane/shoulder and let it slow down to 30, it'll look like your car is breaking down anyway so that should be ok.
For the OBD2 reader, personally I prefer a bluetooth device and using an app like torque pro. I'd rather use my phone interface than this $10 device. Wouldn't be surprised if my bluetooth reader can do more functions as well, but haven't verified that.

I do not know how it would be able to perform a battery voltage test through the OBD connector. About all it could do is read battery voltage as the ECM is seeing it. Possibly see if the alternator is charging 14v. It will not put a load into the battery and see if it is weak or has bad internals.
This knock off brand makes decent stuff. But the battery claim is bogus.

The issue with the bluetooth dongles is that they won't connect sometimes or take forever to connect.
