Diagnostics for Light and Medium Duty OBD-II Vehicles


Our customers have been asking for a simple diagnostics application that will work "right-out-of-the-box" to display OBD-II vehicle information on light and medium-duty vehicles utilizing the J1979 OBD-II standard. DG Technologies has answered the call and has partnered with a premier provider of generic OBD-II software Palmer Performance Engineering to resell their ScanXL product line.

ScanXL is a professional line of diagnostic scan tools that delivers the full range of generic diagnostics for any OBD-II compliant vehicle sold worldwide, along with providing manufacturer-enhanced diagnostics for many vehicle types. It gives access not only to powertrain systems, but also ABS, airbag, and other proprietary systems that would otherwise require expensive dealer tools to work with.

ScanXL comes in two different versions, ScanXL Professional and ScanXL Standard. Both versions of ScanXL allow viewing, charting, logging and playback of diagnostic data in real time via the vehicle's OBD-II diagnostic data port. It also allows viewing of vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's), Freeze Frame data, and other vehicle information. ScanXL supports 1996 and newer vehicles whether it be US, Asian, or European.

For a complete list of supported vehicle types, visit the ScanXL Supported Vehicles page. These listings show all supported vehicle parameters per manufacturer. Some of the parameters may require the purchase of the manufacturer enhanced diagnostics "add-on".
The following are vehicles that have enhanced diagnostic capability:
