S610 is designed to work on all OBDII compliantvehicles. All 1996 and newer vehicles (cars, light trucks and SUVs)sold in the United States are OBDII compliant.

One of the most exciting improvements in the automobile industry wasthe addition of on-board diagnostics (OBD) on vehicles, or in morebasic terms, the computer that activates the vehicle's "CHECK ENGINE"light. OBDI was designed to monitor manu-facturer-specific systems onvehicles builtfrom 1981 to 1995. Then came the develop-ment of OBDII,which is on all 1996 cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. Like itspredecessor, OBDII was adopted as part of a government mandate to lowervehicle emissions. But what makes OBDII unique is its universalapplication for all late model cars and trucks ¡§C domestic and import.This sophisticated program in the vehicle's main computer system isdesigned to detect failures in a range of systems, and can be accessedthrough a universal OBDII port, which is usually found under thedashboard. For all OBD systems, if a problem is found, the computerturns on the "CHECK ENGINE" light to warn the driver, and sets aDiagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to identify where the problem occurred. Aspecial diagnostic tool, such as the OBDII Scan Tool, is required toretrieve these codes, which consumers and professionals use as astarting point for repairs.
