I reviewed the Launch CReader 4001 — a budget OBDII scan tool for reading check-engine lights.
Everything below is from my YouTube review of the Launch CReader 4001 OBDII Diagnostic Scan Tool. From the captions: What’s happening, Automotive Pandas? Peter von Panda here. Hey, I wanted to pick this up. It’s a C-Reader OBD2 scanner. It’s the 400L, and I was really impressed with the last OBD scanner I got. Oh, it’s not 400L, it’s 4001 font.

So I just plugged in the OBD scanner, and I don’t even have the power on in the car, but it’s drawing enough power to actually turn on. And one thing I will say…
More from the review
hings. And then you can maneuver or navigate Readiness completed. Um, read codes, and I have no fault codes. Yes! Which is what I was expecting, to be honest.
