GEARWRENCH Everyday Diagnostic Tool Bluetooth OBDII Tester | GWSCAN

I always wanted a bidirectional scan tool like this but was looking for one that had lifetime updates, without any catches and could handle a wide variety of vehicles. When I heard that GearWrench was offering this model at such an affordable price, I knew this was the one. I owned GearWrench tools in the past and I was very satisfied with them so I was hopeful that it would be the case here. They did not disappoint. But let's talk about my experience in chronological order. Delivery was quick and on time. I installed the app on my Android phone (a 2025 Motorola Moto G Power) and attempted to connect the device to my 2021 Mazda6. It would not connect. I changed phones (Samsung A12) but that did not connect either. I reinstalled the app on the Motorola - nothing. I called customer service - nothing. I was considering returning it but decided to poke around a bit first. After a few minutes I got a prompt from the phone saying that I was to grant the app permission to access Bluetooth. I allowed it and voila - it connected! It has been smooth sailing thereafter. Works like a charm - for the most part. The first need I had of it was with my daughter's 2013 Mazda6. It came to me with a flashing airbag light. BT identified the problem as a passenger airbag module, but did not specify further. I attempted to clear the code to no avail. I attempted to reset the module, to no avail. At that point, I reached for my laptop, connected FORScan (a third party dedicated Ford/Mazda software) to the car and it was able to give me more details and was able to reset the module. I was a little disappointed that BT couldn't handle it, though. My next use of it came with my JDM Nissan Note X DIG-S. I had just done a transmission fluid and engine oil change and noticed that the Auto Stop/Start light in the instrument cluster was flashing and the feature was disabled. I reached for BT and it told me that the electric transmission fluid pump was experiencing low pressure of 0.5 MPa. That's supposed to be normal for the car at idle (according to the Nissan workshop manual) but the car and BT were saying otherwise. I wanted to reset the transmission module but I decided to leave it alone for now. It eventually cured itself. My latest use of it came a few days ago when a coworker's JDM Toyota Voxy had the dashboard light up with warning lights - typical for Toyota. I connected BT and it said that the vehicle had a number of issues including the ABS and the valve control system. I cleared the codes and all has been well since. Very strange, but BT saved the day. I haven't used all the features so far, but I believe it has the ability to put you on the right path if you ever encounter an issue, though it may not be able to solve it. I'm giving it 5 marks in spite of the issue with the airbag module, though. This is so because that feature may actually be a Mazda-proprietary feature that just was not available to BT as yet. I have done several updates since then so perhaps it is now possible. Pros: Updates are free for life Customer service agents available via phone Handles makes not even sold in the North America Cons: Bluetooth connection is slower than wired devices Unable to automatically detect any vehicle that I have connected it to (Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW) It must be registered to only one phone at a time (customer service has to be contacted if moving to another) May not be able to reset all modules

Fantastic piece of equipment. It’s small and simple. It does regular fault scan and it also has a deep scan option. The deep scan option is valuable to retrieve codes that are deeper than the original issue. Standard fault code is searching for a reason that your check engine light is illuminated. The deep scan option is to find any unrelated DTC that your car has that isn’t normally as important as the ones immediately stored on your vehicle to cause the CEL. Both options can erase the fault codes. It has a certain amount of live data you can view. Not too much. Basic info for general components type of thing. There are some other options you can view and see in the app settings but it’s more preference than control. However; there is a form of control option but your vehicle must support it. Overall, great product. It’s cheap and reliable. Bluetooth, and it’s better than visiting your local store to retrieve codes.

One star for now. Have to finish updating the device but so far... I bought this to work on an 02 Chevy Venture that has an abs light on. It pulls the code fine, but the service information tells me to perform an automated test after clearing the code. Well this device will not clear the code even though it claims to successfully clear the code. Strike one. It does not have the option of performing "automated test" i can only manually activate relays and solenoids in the abs system. Since service manual is non- specific on what to test with the automated test this tool is no good here. Strike 2. See what happens the next time the headlight warning light comes on on my wife's 24 crosstrek. That could end up saving this tools bacon, but I'm not holding my breath... Almost forgot, on Samsung Galaxy A54 the software overseas the display, and there is no way to scroll. It also will rotate to portrait mode. The tablet i wanted to connect it to is too old.

I cant begin to start with how good this little tool is. After set up it cleared some codes i couldnt with other scanners. It live data had very little lag and the few actuations i tried were working well.

Works well Was able to retract e brakes on a Subaru

Note que en 2 talleres de tres a los que llevé mi vehículo los escáneres eran incapaces de leer los códigos en mi auto, así que compré uno de la marca astro ai. Este tampoco pudo leer los códigos que están en el tablero. Así que compré este escáner, y resulta que sí es compatible con mi SUV. De hecho puedes descargar paquetes para trabajar con muchas marcas diferentes. Sí es algo lento, pero tampoco es algo que sientas que se te va la vida esperando. No he explorado sus funciones completamente pero tiene muchas funciones especiales, como TPMS, asientos, frenos, etc. A mí me sirve para resolver muchos problemas que ni en talleres profesionales me habían podido resolver, así que le doy 5 estrellas

I did not receive a card with activation code!

La verdad muy bueno superó mis espectativas, muy fácil de instalarlo y darlo de alta. Entra a muchas marcas automotrices áridos los sistemas y tiene muchas funciones especiales. 10 de 10
