FOXWELL NT301 OBD2 SCANNER
Professional Diagnostic Code Reader with Live Data Graphing
COMPLETE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSTICS
The FOXWELL NT301 OBD2 Scanner is designed to help vehicle owners and professional mechanics diagnose and manage check engine light issues effectively. By reading diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), the scanner identifies the reason behind a malfunction indicator light (MIL) turning on. Once the underlying issue has been repaired, the scanner allows the code to be cleared, restoring the system to normal operation.
The device provides essential OBDII functionality, including reading and erasing fault codes, retrieving vehicle identification numbers (VIN), and checking the readiness status of emissions systems. These capabilities make it a practical tool for pinpointing the source of engine problems and maintaining compliance with emissions standards.
ACCURATE DATA STREAMS AND LIVE MONITORING
The FOXWELL NT301 offers live data graphing and logging, enabling users to monitor vehicle sensor information in real time. By tracking performance data, it becomes easier to identify unusual trends or irregularities that could indicate underlying issues.
This real-time data monitoring is particularly beneficial for detecting performance problems, as it allows users to observe how the vehicle behaves under different conditions. By focusing on sensor activity, users can quickly narrow down potential causes of mechanical or electrical malfunctions.
WIDE VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY
The NT301 OBD2 Scanner is compatible with most cars, SUVs, light trucks, and 12V diesel vehicles equipped with OBDII systems. It supports OBDII protocols including KWP2000, J1850 VPW, ISO9141, J1850 PWM, and CAN, covering a broad range of vehicles worldwide.
The device works with US-based vehicles manufactured from 1996 onwards, European vehicles from 2000 onwards, and Asian vehicles from 2000 onwards. This compatibility ensures that the NT301 is suitable for a wide range of models and makes, providing flexibility for both home and workshop use.
USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE AND DESIGN
Equipped with a 2.8-inch color screen, the NT301 offers a clear and intuitive display of diagnostic information. The patented design features simple navigation buttons, making it easy to operate even for users with minimal technical background.
With dedicated I/M readiness hotkeys, users can quickly access emissions status checks. Red, yellow, and green LED indicators, combined with an audible speaker, provide at-a-glance confirmation of whether the vehicle is ready for an emissions test. This design ensures that even complex diagnostics can be performed with minimal effort.
SMOG CHECK AND EMISSIONS READINESS
One of the standout features of the NT301 is its ability to function as a smog check helper. The tool provides detailed information about I/M readiness, which is essential for passing emissions inspections.
By checking system status before an official test, vehicle owners can address potential issues ahead of time, reducing the risk of failure. The built-in visual and audio indicators provide instant feedback on whether the vehicle is compliant with emissions standards.
LIVE DATA GRAPHING AND LOGGING
In addition to reading and erasing fault codes, the NT301 allows users to view live data streams and graph performance metrics. This feature makes it possible to spot irregularities in real time, such as fluctuating sensor readings or performance dips.
The ability to record and log live data enables users to track long-term performance trends. This feature is especially useful for mechanics who want to keep diagnostic records for customer vehicles or for vehicle owners monitoring ongoing issues.
POWERFUL YET SIMPLE OPERATION
The FOXWELL NT301 is a plug-and-play device that draws power directly from the vehicle’s 16-pin DLC connector. This eliminates the need for batteries or external charging, ensuring that the scanner is always ready for use.
Once connected, the device automatically powers on and begins reading diagnostic information. The straightforward menu system makes it easy to select functions, ensuring smooth operation without complicated setup or updates.
VIN RETRIEVAL FUNCTION
With its ability to retrieve the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the NT301 offers an added level of convenience. This feature allows users to confirm vehicle details quickly, making it useful for record keeping, fleet management, or repair documentation.
The VIN retrieval function also ensures that the diagnostic process is tied specifically to the vehicle being analyzed, reducing the risk of confusion during multi-vehicle servicing.
LIMITATIONS TO NOTE
As a dedicated OBDII code reader, the FOXWELL NT301 focuses on engine-related diagnostics. It does not provide access to specialized systems such as ABS, SRS, or transmission modules. Users should be aware that its scope is limited to core OBDII functions.
This design aligns with its purpose as an affordable yet powerful tool for diagnosing check engine light problems, emissions issues, and sensor data, making it ideal for users who do not require advanced manufacturer-specific functions.
DURABILITY AND PORTABILITY
The NT301 is built with a compact and durable design, making it easy to carry in a toolbox, glove compartment, or workshop setting. Its lightweight build ensures portability without compromising reliability.
The sturdy construction ensures the device can handle repeated use in demanding environments, making it suitable for both personal and professional diagnostic work.
