Autel AutoLink AL549 OBD II & CAN & ABS Universal Error Code Reader
The AutoLink AL549 is the successor to the well-known AL529 and is suitable for cars with OBD2 / EOBD (including CAN) & ABS. In Europe this generally applies to petrol cars from 2001 and diesel from 2004. The Autel AL549 reader can easily make a reliable and complete diagnosis, because this scan tool supports all 10 modes of OBD2 / EOBD. This EOBD tester is suitable for the APK2 requirements.

Autel AL549 universal OBD2 & ABS diagnostic computer
The Autel AL549 is a universal OBD2 & ABS reader. The AL549 succeeds the AL529. The AL549 reads and clears engine and ABs error codes, displays all 10 test modes, has a hotkey for the I/M readiness test (displays the vehicle's emission and drive cycle status), and the fault codes found are displayed with descriptions on the display of the engine. In addition, real-time data from various sensors can be viewed and you can view freeze frame data (this is the moment when the error code occurred and the engine warning light came on. You can see under which circumstances the error code occured).
