IMPORTANT

Due to restrictions of the OBD-II protocols, generic OBD-II devices & our Smart Vehicle Health monitor is only able to decode ENGINE CODES, that is when the #62 dash icon flashes on your dash.

We do like to decode more codes for you but unfortunately, decoding the engine codes is the best we can do for now. Maybe in the future the car manufactures would allow more flexibility for aftermarket devices to do more for customers.

Let's hope so.
