CarChip®
With
the basic CarChip, the data
logger will store up to 75 hours of trip details before you'll need to
download. If you drive, on average, two hours a day, that's over a
month's worth of driving data!
You'll
get complete trip details including:
- Time and date for each trip
- Distance traveled
- Speed (recorded every 5 seconds)
- Hard brakings and quick
accelerations
You
can view all of this graphically on
your computer screen, giving you a moment-by-moment picture of how
you—or perhaps your employees or the teenagers in your household—are
driving.
If
the vehicle's check engine light (also known as a malfunction indicator
light or MIL) comes on, you'll be able to:
- Read the diagnostic trouble code (or
DTC).
- Get the "freeze-frame" sensor
readings telling you the status of various engine parameters at the
time.
- Reset the light.
Includes
data logger, software on CD, and USB cable for downloading
data. Requires Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP and one USB port.

Important
Safety Notice
CarChip
has been carefully designed and
tested to comply with the OBDII protocols used on most cars and light
trucks sold in the USA, model-year 1996 or later. However, some vehicle
models are not in full compliance with these protocols. In addition,
the computer control systems on any given vehicle may be malfunctioning
or out of spec, as may be the sensors used by these systems.
Before
installing CarChip, be
sure to review the list of known vehicle exclusions and anomalies (see
the link above). For more information on OBDII issues and anomalies in
general, we recommend The Equipment and Tool Institute's website at www.etools.org.
While
our testing and the experience of
thousands of CarChip users have shown the unit to be safe and reliable,
there is an inherent risk in adding any aftermarket product that may
potentially affect the operation or drivability of your vehicle. Should
you be concerned about the operation of your vehicle at any time while
using CarChip, you should pull over, off the roadway, immediately or as
soon as it is safe to do so. Remove CarChip from the OBDII port and
consult a licensed mechanic or automobile service center.
