Review Launch 6001 OBDII Code Reader
The Launch 6001 is a handheld OBDII scan tool that hooks up to most any vehicle and displays the problem it is having.

All vehicles built after 1996 have an OBDII port that can connect to a scan tool and give information, such as why an engine light is on.

An OBD2 connector is usually located under the driver side dashboard but Google your car or trucks make and model to locate it if needed.

The Launch 6001 is one such scan tool that connects to an OBDII port and can talk to the On-board computer and displays the error.

Summary
Having a good OBDII scan tool while troubleshooting a vehicle can save a lot of time and headaches.

The Launch 6001 is a good unit to use and will find most any problem a car or truck is having.

Like most scan tools it can read and clear codes with but can also give real time data and do 02 sensor test.

We are still testing the Launch 6001 so far with good results and will update as we test it more.

As always be sure to read the reviews on Amazon or elsewhere to be sure a unit is a good fit for you.
