Driver, taking "diagnosis" of your car will change your life
DO IT YOURSELF - Maintenance, small repairs management, reduction of consumption ... with automotive diagnostic devices, drivers can get to know their vehicle better. Specialists give the instructions for use. It's a small magical "entry", and its often placed under the wheel that changes the lives of many drivers. By exploiting the diagnostic socket found in every car, those sometimes referred to as "OBD Handymen" for On Board Diagnostics have established a brand new relationship with their vehicle.
The car diagnostic to maintain oneself your car
The OBD or on-board car diagnostic provides access to all kinds of information by interrogating the car's electronic calculators. How it works? "The electronic part of the vehicle consists of 15 to 20 boxes, calculators. They interact with each other and with a big central calculator, "explains Sébastien Rousselet, founder of OBD Auto .Having a best obd II scanner is a good option to give your car a good maintenance every month.
By connecting the diagnostic socket of the vehicle to an OBD box, a driver can collect information from calculators, transmitted to a computer (via a USB cable plugged into the case) or to a smartphone (via wifi or Bluetooth, thanks to a downloadable app ). Convenient when you want to take care of "small" maintenance operations. To equip, it takes between 20 and 50 € depending on the supplier.
The computer firstly interrogated is that of the engine. "With this product, you get what's called the fault code," explains Cyrille Richard, from OBD Facile . The software gives you a technical description of the problem or issues and then updates the display of the dashboard. "
Facilitate maintenance, not tuning
A weight advantage for users with multiple profiles. "The more cautious simply empty their vehicle themselves," notes Sebastien Rousselet. Those who want to maintain the injectors and particulate filter take a more complete version of the program. "
Accessing the keys to automotive diagnostics does not mean being a mechanic, and that has nothing to do with tuning . "Our solutions help maintain a vehicle, not change performance," says the same interlocutor.
For Sébastien Rousselet, automotive diagnostics can also become a real driver of development for eco-driving. "I think these devices will soon be integrated into cars. They will help to better understand its fuel consumption. A path in which the Drust company, which developed Akolyt , a personalized driving coach, rushes at full speed.
