Roadi RDT69 OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Code Reader with Live Engine Data, Print-Out, Freeze Frame and Graphing Capability

Roadi RDT69 OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Code Reader with Live Engine Data, Print-Out, Freeze Frame and Graphing Capability Review



Roadi RDT69 OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Code Reader with Live Engine Data, Print-Out, Freeze Frame and Graphing Capability Feature

  • Views live engine data, oxygen sensor test and on-board component test, data print out, multiple languages, english, spanish, dutch, german and french
  • Works with all 1996 and newer cars and light trucks that are OBD2 compliant
  • Easy to-read large LCD display, unit conveniently fits in the palm or your hand
  • Diagnostic code scanner easily retrieves trouble codes from your vehicle's computer to diagnose problems
  • Enables you to quickly and easily link to your vehicle with detachable cables, software upgradable via computer USB

The Roadi RDT69 is a high-end handheld automotive diagnostic scan tool, designed for use by serious do-it-yourselfers who need a tool that does more than just read trouble codes. In addition to reading OBD-II DTCs, generated by virtually all new cars, light trucks and SUVs sold in the US from 1996 to the present, as well as EOBD and JOBD codes generated by cars sold in Europe and Japan, the RDT69 displays code definitions on-screen, detects OBD-II freeze frame and live engine data, has O2 sensor and onboard component test capabilities, memory/battery backup for off-vehicle data review and analysis and the ability to print collected data via USB. Additional features include compatibility with all five OBD-II protocols (CAN, VPW, PWM, ISO9141, KW2000), vehicle ID numbers (VIN) retrieval and the ability to update the device via a USB connection to your computer.

Everything you need for advanced digital automotive diagnostics right out of the box
Code definitions displayed in scanner
Comprehensive High-end Diagnostic Functionality for Your Vehicles

Beginning in the 1980s new cars and trucks began to be wired with a variety of computerized diagnostic systems designed to improve efficiencies, simplify troubleshooting and minimize the need for repairs. These systems produce indicators known as diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) internally, usually indicating something out of the ordinary by illuminating the "check engine"/malfunction indicator light (MIL) on the dashboard of your car. In the 1990s these systems, codes and the hardware connectors used to access them were standardized in North America as OBD (onboard diagnostics) and later OBD-II. Europe and Japan have their own equivalents of EOBD and JOBD. Automotive technicians have long utilized high-end machinery to read and decipher these codes, passing the costs on to consumers, but now automotive do-it-yourselfers can get access to this same advanced information and functionality quickly and inexpensively with the Roadi RDT69.

The RDT69 is a digital diagnostic scan tool that accesses your vehicle's onboard computer via a 16-pin connector located at the end of the device's cable. This connection also provides the device with 8 to 16 volts of power drawn from your vehicle's battery. The RDT69 also possesses optional 9-volt battery power for reading saved data away from the vehicle connection. As part of the industry-wide OBD-II standard, virtually every car, light truck or SUV manufactured and/or sold in the US since 1996 contains a corresponding data link connector (DLC) port located under the dashboard (the location of this port on vehicles manufactured in Europe or Japan may vary). By simply plugging the RDT69 into this port while the engine is off, then switching it on and scrolling to the right menu option users can gain access to codes (generic and vehicle specific) related to MIL events. All code definitions are displayed on the device's backlit 128 x 64 pixel display, ending the need to walk away from your vehicle while testing (full definitions are also available on your computer via the included CD). Some diagnostic codes can be captured as a constant stream produced by key engine sensors, while others require specific engine components to be engaged to produce data, but the functionality of the RDT69 goes well beyond this. It also captures OBD-II freeze frame data, a snapshot of the real-time data that prompts the generation of DTCs, allows for the viewing of live engine data and supports both O2 and onboard component testing, increasing insight into fuel efficiency issues and emissions controls. Together these can serve as power data points in further diagnosis of automotive issues and predict the chances of a vehicle passing state mandated emissions tests. Finally, the diagnostic systems within different vehicles may utilize different OBD-II compliant protocols as conduits connecting the various onboard networks. The RDT69 supports all these protocols, including CAN, VPW, PWM, ISO9141, KW2000, providing comprehensive analysis of your vehicle's functions whenever you want it. Additional features include the ability to retrieve vehicle ID numbers (VIN), USB functionality that allows you to print data directly from the device as well as update its software and DTC lists via the Internet, and a nylon carrying case.

Key Features

  • Highly reliable, accurate and durable diagnostic tool with easy-to-read backlit, 128 x 64 pixel display.
  • Works with all 1996 and newer cars, light trucks and SUVs that are OBD-II compliant (plus a few models from '94-95), as well as EOBD and JOBD compliant vehicles manufactured in Europe or Japan.
  • Supports all five OBD-II protocols (CAN, VPW, PWM, ISO9141, KW2000).
  • Reads both generic (P0, P2, P3, U0) and manufacturer specific (P1, P3, and U1) DTCs, and identifies and displays pending codes.
  • Code definitions displayed on unit screen.
  • Erases trouble codes and determines the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) status, as well as displays I/M readiness status and state OBD check.
  • Retrieves VIN (vehicle ID number) on 2002 and newer vehicles that support Mode 9.
  • Multiple language support: English, Spanish, Dutch, German, French.
  • Detects OBD-II Freeze Frame information, as well as allows for collection of live engine data.
  • Supports O2 sensor and onboard component testing for the capturing of fuel efficiency and emissions data.
  • Detachable and replaceable 16-pin OBD-II cable, USB cable fitting into the same port.
  • Memory backup for off-vehicle data review, analysis and printing via USB.
  • Device software and DTC lists upgradable directly via USB.
  • Efficiently powered with 8-16 volts provided by your vehicle battery through the OBD-II 16-pin connector, with optional 9-volt battery power for use away from the vehicle connection.
  • Compact design: size - 8.22" (209 mm) l. x 3.74" (107 mm) w. x 1.38" (37 mm); weight - 1.61 LB (.73 kg).
