Gen2 OBD2 app review

Hello,

First post to this thread, in hopes of learning if I bought the right scan dongle and app for what I am trying to fix. Many thanks to mr_guy_mann for his reviews, and other members who pointed me to this thread, and those members who have offered assistance in another thread.

My full story can be found in this thread (and in the page previous to this link):

To summarize my story thus far, the 12V battery in my 2004 Prius is not getting recharged. After getting towed to dealership and nearly $200 later, they reported they found code P0A08, and their "fix" was recharging the 12V battery that I had just installed. Car worked and ran, and charged fine, for about a month. Now, not charging. My suspicion is the DC-DC Converter Inverter Assembly is bad. But, I wanted to be sure I am chasing the right DTC, and purchased the Autel MaxiAP AP2500.

I am not getting any DTCs, even after I intentionally run down the 12V battery and start getting warning lights.

Is the Autel MaxiAP AP2500 capable of reading the DTCs that I need to see related to the Hybrid Vehicle (HV) System, or did I mis-read and understand it's capabilities?

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Before I do that, I was able to contact Autel and they informed me of the problem and how to get around it. I added a new post to the other thread mentioned above to explain the results and my findings, after I was able to perform a Full Scan..

 

FWIW... this is the OBD2 dongle ive used without issues and it shows the Manufacture Enhanced Diagnostics codes... Im working on a PCB board I had made with hopes it can provide the same and operate Techstream wirelessly...
