A Windows scan tool for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles that turns USB OBD-II data into plain-English codes, live gauges, health checks, recalls, and service history.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The page describes a Windows 10/11 application that detects a USB OBD-II adapter and turns vehicle data into codes, gauges, recordings, health checks, and reports. It lists support for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles from 1996 onward, with broader ABS, airbag, and Ford-specific coverage for 2008-and-newer CAN vehicles. The safety model is unusually concrete: unsupported commands are refused, while engine-code clearing requires typing CLEAR and is recorded in a log.
