Check engine light on?Know exactly why.
OBDPulse turns your phone into an OBD2 scan tool. Plug a Bluetooth LE adapter into your car, read the fault codes from every module, and let Ask Pulse explain them in plain English and tell you if it's safe to drive.
Diagnose your car in seconds.
A one-minute tour of the app: Read Codes, Ask Pulse, Live Data, Track Mode, the pro tools, Scan History and PDF reports.
A mechanic's second opinion, right in your pocket.
A code like P0420 doesn't tell you much on its own. After Read Codes, Pulse reads the whole scan and gives you a verdict, the reason and what to do next. Or just ask it about a code, a noise or a warning light.
Ask Pulse is in beta and can make mistakes. Every account gets a weekly Ask Pulse session; Pro gets more.
- 1.Pull over somewhere safe, switch the engine off and turn on your hazard lights.
- 2.Ask for a tow or roadside help to a BMW specialist.

Scan every module, not just the engine.
Read Codes goes through every control module OBDPulse knows for your car (engine, transmission, ABS, airbags, climate, driver assistance and more), or just the ones you pick. Every fault is grouped by the module that reported it, with a plain description of the code.
Every scan you run, on every car, is kept with your account, even after you remove the car. Open the full report of any past scan and share it as a PDF. Free shows your last 7 scans; Pro shows them all.
A full workshop scan tool, in an app.
From your first check engine light to manufacturer-level procedures. Read Codes, Read VIN and Live Data are free with any compatible adapter; Pro unlocks everything else.
Speed, RPM, coolant temperature, battery voltage and every other parameter your car supports, updating as you drive. Free shows five at a time; Pro shows them all, as Gauges, a Graph or plain Values.
