AI OBD2 Scanner
Safe, read-only OBD2 vehicle diagnostics with multi-ECU discovery, live sensor telemetry, DTC trouble codes, 12V battery test, and AI-powered repair insights.
App Purpose & Overview
AI OBD2 Scanner is a safe, read-only automotive diagnostic tool published by Kukkabu Studios. Its purpose is to connect to standard ELM327 OBD-II adapters via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to interrogate vehicle computers, monitor real-time sensor telemetry, test battery health, and deliver plain-English repair guidance powered by AI.
Inside the app
What it does
Strictly non-intrusive standard SAE J1979 queries. Never flashes ECUs or modifies factory calibrations, keeping your vehicle safe.
Scans all computers on 11-bit & 29-bit CAN networks: Engine (ECM), Transmission (TCM), ABS Brakes, Airbags (SRS), BCM, and Hybrid Battery systems.
Reads Confirmed, Pending, and Permanent DTCs with exact Freeze Frame snapshots showing engine conditions when the fault occurred.
Stream 60+ real-time PIDs: RPM, speed, coolant temp, MAF airflow, fuel trims, and O2 sensors with interactive multi-waveform graphing.
Test resting loaded battery voltage, analyze engine cranking voltage drop, and verify alternator charging output under load.
Check all emissions readiness monitors (Catalyst, EVAP, O2, Misfire) and Mode 06 diagnostic test limits before inspection.
Powered by Google Gemini. Translates cryptic DTC error codes into plain-English severity ratings, likely root causes, freeze frame context, and step-by-step DIY inspection checklists.
Simple, Fair Pricing
All core vehicle scanning features are 100% free and offline. AI diagnosis comes with free daily credits, optional rewarded ads, or non-expiring credit packs.
Support & FAQ
Questions about adapters or diagnostics? Email support@kukkabu.com — typical response within 2–5 business days.
Will this scanner work with my vehicle?
AI OBD2 Scanner works with all standard OBD-II and EOBD compliant passenger vehicles. This includes 1996 and newer cars in the United States, 2001+ gasoline and 2004+ diesel in the European Union, as well as compliant Canadian, Japanese, and Australian models.
Which OBD2 adapter do I need?
The app connects via standard Bluetooth (Classic 2.1+ or BLE) or Wi-Fi to any ELM327-compatible adapter. We recommend high-quality adapters using authentic PIC18F25K80, STN, or vLinker chips (e.g. Veepeak, OBDLink, vLinker FD+, BAFX).
Is it safe for my car's electronics?
Yes, 100%. AI OBD2 Scanner is engineered on a strict read-only diagnostic architecture using standardized SAE J1979 / ISO 15031 query protocols. It never flashes firmware, overrides safety controllers, or modifies factory engine maps.
What is Freeze Frame data?
When your car's engine computer detects a fault that illuminates the Check Engine light, it freezes a snapshot of sensor data at that exact millisecond (engine RPM, coolant temperature, vehicle speed, fuel pressure, and engine load). Reviewing freeze frames helps you diagnose whether a problem occurs under cold starts, highway speeds, or idle.
Privacy Policy
AI OBD2 Scanner operates on a strict local-first architecture. All vehicle telemetry, DTCs, and sensor metrics are processed locally in real time and are never sold or shared with insurance companies. For full details, read our complete Privacy Policy Page.
Terms of Use
AI OBD2 Scanner is an informational diagnostic tool. Never operate the app while driving; always park safely before running tests. AI diagnostic suggestions are for informational assistance only and do not replace certified mechanic inspections. Read our full Terms of Service Page.
