There are three simple steps to get you reading codes straight away:

1. Select the vehicle, the Code Reader then shows you locations and pictures of the diagnostic connectors, plus exactly how to put the vehicle into diagnostic mode.

2. Connect the UniPlug, or Optical sensor, or the Clip on probes to read the fault codes automatically

3. Press the Fault Codes button and walk away

The Code Reader will now automatically read the fault codes and display the code number and code description on the screen. For example Code 23: Throttle Position Sensor.

You can even print the Code Reader results directly to your office / workshop computer.

• The CodeReader is a software tool with a unique USB interface system that connects to 95% of Japanese & Korean assembled vehicles. It extracts valuable fault code information from various vehicle systems in under 5 minutes.
  
  
• The CodeReader is the most powerful Japanese & Korean code reading tool available. It can read codes from more Japanese & Korean vehicles than any other tool on the market today.
  
  
• FREE "Automatic Code Reading" software updates directly off this website
  
  
• The program contains more fault code information for Japanese & Korean vehicles than from any other one source.
  
  
• Your customers will be impressed that you are keeping up with the latest technology
  
  
• It is very easy to use. Only three methods of connection
  
  
• The software does most of the thinking for you, so no need to be an expert in diagnostics
  
  
• It will help you keep work in house (even bring in work from other workshops)
  
  
• Saves time on labour
  
  
• Accurate diagnosis first time, means less hassle for you and the customer
  
  
• Happier customers, because faster diagnosis means faster turn-around
  
  
• Printouts for your customers builds their trust and your credibility.
  
  
• What better way to justify machine charges than with the CodeReader™ printout.
  
  
• The CodeReader™ is a modular system and is easily updated. An update allows your existing CodeReader™ hardware to connect to a greater range of vehicles.
  
  
• Ability to save the diagnostic information for future reference.
  
  

• A FAST direction for Diagnosis on Japanese & Korean Vehicles
  During any electronic fault finding and diagnosis use the CodeReader™ FIRST to extract any fault code information quickly and easily. This will give you an instant direction for testing and repair.
  
  
• Checking Japanese & Korean vehicles for INTERMITTANT faults
  If intermittent faults occur, they will be stored in the vehicle computer memory generally for 50 engine starts. Your CodeReader™ will read these codes.
  Modern vehicles are capable of by-passing sensors if they fail or are out of range. Often there is no indication to the driver that a fault has occurred. In these cases using the CodeReader™ will reveal these codes.
  
  
• Breakdowns
  The engine DOES NOT have to be running for the CodeReader™ to read the code information from the vehicle. It can give you an immediate indication of where the problem lies and a direction for repair.
  

• Customer Report / PRINTOUT for every major Service and Tuneup
  Giving your customer a CodeReader™ printout of a "Code Reading" of their vehicle can only help to build their confidence in your garages work.
  You can have an optional "hook-up fee" for using the CodeReader™ or offer it as a free service to increase your customer satisfaction.
  The more you use the CodeReader™ the easier it becomes to use, and the faster you become at performing a test.
  Checking for stored or present codes during a tune up or service can give you an instant direction for diagnosing problems.

• Pre-inspection and checks for vehicle purchases
  Ensure your customers are aware of the complete state of the vehicles electronic systems.

• Pre-holiday checks
  Give your customers piece of mind by offering a pre-holiday check of their electronic systems.

• General Automotive repair shops

Three Fast, Simple CodeReader connection methods for you to READ codes AUTOMATICALLY

1. Universal Plug (UniPlug)

		The Rennacs Universal Plug (UniPlug™) scan tool system allows you to "plug into" the On Board Diagnostics 2 (OBD2 / EOBD) style diagnostic connector now found on all later model vehicles. You will require the UniPlug™ (or other scan tool) with OBD2 software for ALL American vehicles (for engine and transmission codes) assembled after 1996, and for ALL European vehicles (for engine and transmission codes) assembled after year 2000.
		Left is a typical OBD2 shaped diagnostic connector, generally found under the drivers dash. The EOBD connector is very similar.
		The UniPlug™ (pictured to the left) converts the different vehicle signals and protocols into codes and data that is displayed on your screen. Think of the UniPlug™ as a "universal language translator", converting the lanuage of the vehicle into your language.

The Rennacs™ UniPlug™ is the worlds first OBD2 / EOBD code reading tool capable of complete expansion via software to cover Engine, Transmission, ABS and Airbag systems. The UniPlug is an option to add onto the Code Reader system.

The difference between the CodeReader™ and the UniPlug™ system is that the CodeReader™ (manual or automatic systems) reads the Flash Codes or Slow Codes, while the UniPlug system reads the SERIAL DATA codes that the CodeReader™ (manual or automatic systems) cannot read.

For example the CodeReader™ (manual or automatic systems) can read Flash codes from all Asian vehicles with Airbags except Mitsubishi and Hyundai vehicles, as Mitsubishi and Hyundai Airbags are Serial Data codes only. Therefore we have developed UniPlug software to cover the Mitsubishi and Hyundai Airbags as well as many other systems.

Together the CodeReader™ and UniPlug™ systems compliment each other to give virtually complete Japanese and Korean vehicle code coverage.

The Rennacs™ UniPlug™ system will read both Generic and Manufacturer specific fault codes for all types of Auto Repair..

The UniPlug™ Generic EOBD / OBD2 software covers ALL Generic EOBD / OBD2 vehicle protocols as follows:

·SAE J1850 VPW – GM
·SAE J1850 PWM – Ford
·ISO 9141-2
·ISO 14230 (Keyword 2000)
·CAN (the latest standard)

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 Laptop 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).
