Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is the V520 OBD2 scanner compatible with my car? A: The V520 is compatible with all vehicles that support the OBD II / EOBD protocol, which includes virtually all cars and light trucks sold in the United States from 1996 onward and in Europe from 2001 onward. If your car has a standard 16-pin OBD II port (usually located under the dashboard near the steering column), the V520 will work with it. Q: Do I need to install any software or app to use this scan tool? A: No. The V520 is a completely standalone plug-and-play device. Simply plug it into your vehicle's OBD II port and it powers on automatically — no smartphone app, Wi-Fi connection, or software installation required. Q: Can the V520 turn off my check engine light? A: Yes. The V520 can read Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and erase them, which will turn off your check engine light. Keep in mind that if the underlying issue is not fixed, the light may return. It's always a good idea to address the root cause of the fault code. Q: What does the I/M Readiness function do? A: I/M Readiness (Inspection & Maintenance Readiness) checks whether your vehicle's onboard diagnostic systems have completed their self-tests and are ready to pass an emissions inspection. This is very useful before scheduling a smog check or state inspection. Q: Does the V520 need batteries or charging? A: No batteries or charging are needed. The V520 draws its power directly from the vehicle's OBD II diagnostic port, so it's always ready to use whenever you need it.
