Thinkcar ThinkOBD 100 - OBD2 Scanner Engine Fault Code Reader with Full OBD2 Functions
The ThinkCar ThinkOBD 100 is a full-function OBD2 scan tool built for car owners, DIY mechanics, and small shops that need straightforward engine diagnostics without paying dealer rates. It works with most 1996 and newer US-based OBDII-compliant vehicles, supports over 10,000 car models, and reads the same generic powertrain codes a technician sees on a professional scanner. Plug the connector into the 16-pin DLC under the dash, turn the key to KOEO, and the tool boots straight into the diagnostic menu.

Protocol and Vehicle Coverage

Build and Interface
