Review: Solid Scanner - Excellent. Works on cars and semis I didn't read and didn't see it doesn't have forced Regen (description even tells you) but this thing was awesome. Really easy to use it pulled up all of the codes and I was able to find them online. The speed was pretty good too I think with semis it might be a little slower. And the screen was really easy to read for the price and what I used it for it was a really good buy.
Review: Great buy, great price. - This thing is awesome. I was looking at buying an expensive one and this was referred to me by my dad’s mechanic buddy. This works excellent, is easy to use, and does everything I need. Very happy with this purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does a Vehicle Linking Error occur?**
A: Make sure the ignition is ON and the scanner is firmly connected to the OBD port. Turn the engine off for 10 seconds, restart and retry. Ensure the control module is not damaged and update the scanner to the latest version from the NEXAS website.

**Q: Can the NL101 detect if a car battery is bad?**
A: Yes. The NL101 can help assess battery health. Possible test results include Good Battery, Charge & Retest, Replace Battery, or Bad Cell – Replace, allowing you to quickly understand the battery’s condition.

**Q: Why does the scanner stop scanning?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nicer then most OBD scanners
*by N***E on September 7, 2019*

When I used to work on cars this would have been a super handy tool to have. Now, I don't work on cars as the friend whom I used to fix old cars up with passed away. I am just not into doing that sort of thing. Anyways, I did think owning an OBD2 scanner would come in handy for me to clear codes and to keep an eye on the details of my new 2019 Ford Escape. Being a brand new car I didn't think I would have any issues but at the same time if something seems odd being able to narrow down the cause before calling the dealer always makes for getting a repair done quicker, at least in my experience. The problem I have found with this OBD2 scanner is that not all the functions work with my car. This was pretty disappointing but on the bright side being able to clear basic codes and check if my battery is at a good level is nice. I have used OBD2 scanners with fewer functions and harder to see and read screens. The buttons are easy to press it powers on from the OBD2 port so no need for any double AA's to power it. The one thing I don't really care for on the device is that they use a Mini USB port and I have that shown in the photos I took for firmware updates. Mini USB is outdated and sometimes it’s a bit harder of a cable to find in stores. I would have gone with Micro USB or even better, USB-C. All in all, if I would have had a different model car all the functions should have worked great. What I was able to use gives me faith that the device is a good buy.
