How do I print or email diagnostic reports?

Is this scanner compatible with my older vehicle (pre-1996)?

The ArtiDiag500 is designed for OBDII compliant vehicles, which generally includes most models from 1996 and newer. Compatibility with vehicles prior to 1996 is not guaranteed.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on.

Ensure the device is adequately charged. Connect the charging cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again. Verify the charging cable is securely connected.

Cannot connect to Wi-Fi.

Ensure your Wi-Fi network is operational and within range. Double-check the Wi-Fi password for accuracy. Restart your router and the diagnostic tool, then try connecting again.

AutoVIN not recognizing the vehicle.

Ensure the OBDII cable is securely connected to the vehicle's OBDII port and the scanner. Try manually entering the vehicle's VIN or selecting the make, model, and year from the menu.

Software update fails.

Ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection. Clear the cache if available in the settings and retry the update. If issues persist, contact customer support.

No data displayed for live streams.

Verify that the vehicle's ignition is on (engine running or accessory mode, depending on the system). Check that the correct vehicle is selected and that the OBDII connection is secure. Some data may only be available with the engine running.
