What is Automatic Code Reading?

Automatic Code Reading is a segment of the Rennacs CodeReader suite which involves using an optical sensor or wire clips to feed the signals directly to codereader, saving you the task of watching and inputting the codes.

Optical (Light) Sensor: 

       
Example of inserting a link wire to a  
diagnositc connector to start a Check
Light flashing on the dash and using
the CodeReader Optical (light) sensor
to AUTOMATICALLY send the codes
to the PC or Handheld for decoding.

95% of Japanese & Korean (Japanese and Korean) vehicles from 1983 to today (2005) are able to give their fault / trouble code information on either a Check Light (such as the Check Engine, ABS, Transmission or Airbag Dash light) or an LED/s on a vehicle computer. The patent pending Rennacs CodeReader Optical (light) sensor is able to directly and accurately read both the Dash Check Lights and the LED's on vehicle computers.

Wire Clips:

For vehicles that do not have a Check Light or LED (for Engine, Trans, ABS or Airbags etc). Simply push in the correct sized loose terminals (provided) and clip the Wire Clip (aligator clips) onto the terminals. The Wire Clips are not polarity sensitive (ie: you can connect them either way round). They are also optically coupled to the Handheld, so that both the vehicle and the Handheld are completed electrically protected.
