Car trouble got you down? When diagnosing a problem in any modern vehicle, your first plan of attack should be to check under the steering wheel. Then plug in a diagnostic tool to your OBD2 port and find out what's wrong—or at least narrow down the possibilities.
If you're not sure which OBD2 code reader to buy, we've found the perfect one for you at Walmart. Right now, the bestselling Cicpap OBD2 scanner is just $16, down 70% from its original list price.

While high-end scanners can set you back hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, this compact code reader covers all the basics at an extremely affordable price. In addition to reading and erasing codes, it has a full library of DTCs you can reference to decipher what the returned code actually means. You can also review the car's performance with data flow monitoring and real-time curve analysis as it runs.
At 7.9 x 5 x 1.7 inches, it's small enough to fit in your bag or in some pockets. While it lacks a full-color display, the black and white screen is clear and well-backlit, making it easy to read fault codes and graphs. It also has a generous 2.5-foot cable, and an intuitive set of buttons that make it easy to navigate through menus. It supports six languages and it can test for emissions readiness prior to your next state inspection.
'I purchased this item for my daughter's use in her somewhat older vehicle,' said one reviewer.
'An exceptional OBD2 scanner,' another shopper raved. 'Functions flawlessly and executes all tasks as specified.
'Compact and simple to operate,' a third customer remarked. 'I like how little this gadget is and how easy it is to connect into your car. I tested it out on my vehicle when I first received it. There were no error codes discovered.'
Plug an OBD2 reader into your vehicle and prepare in advance for any necessary repairs. You might as well, since this one is only $16 for a limited time.
