Vehicle Diagnostic Tool with 2.8 Inch TFT Screen for Fault Code Reading and CAN Protocol Support

This vehicle diagnostic tool provides a straightforward way to read fault codes from your car's electronic systems. It connects directly to the OBD port and draws power from the vehicle's 8 to 18 volt supply, so there is no need for batteries or a separate power adapter. The 2.8 inch TFT colour screen displays diagnostic data clearly, allowing you to see trouble codes, freeze frame data, and live sensor information without needing a laptop or external display. The tool supports five major protocols including CAN (Controller Area Network ISO 11898), making it compatible with many modern vehicles. Whether you are a professional mechanic or a home enthusiast, this handheld diagnostic tool helps you identify issues quickly.
