OBD2 Scanner TOPDON AD500, Oil SAS Throttle TPMS BMS EPB Reset, Engine ABS SRS Transmission, Diagnostic Scan Tool, AutoVIN, Car Check Engine Code Reader with Battery Test, Lifetime Wi-Fi Free Update

Here’s a polished, helpful review you can post for your **TOPDON OBD2 Scanner (AD500)**. I kept it clear, practical, and written the way real customers talk—feel free to tweak anything to match your voice even more. --- ## ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Great Scanner With Tons of Useful Features** I recently purchased the **TOPDON AD500 OBD2 Scanner**, and it has already proven to be a solid tool to have in my garage. The setup was simple, and the interface is easy to navigate even if you’re not a professional mechanic. AutoVIN worked smoothly and pulled up my vehicle info right away. What really stands out is how many systems it can scan. It reads **engine, ABS, SRS, and transmission codes**, which is a big step up from basic code readers. The extra reset functions—like **Oil Reset, SAS, Throttle, TPMS, BMS, and EPB**—make it feel like a much more expensive diagnostic tool. The built‑in **battery test** is a nice bonus, and the **lifetime Wi‑Fi updates** mean it won’t become outdated anytime soon. The screen is bright and easy to read, and the overall build quality feels sturdy. If you want a scanner that goes beyond simple check‑engine codes without spending dealership-level money, this one is definitely worth it.

Very Nice scanner, easy to update and log in. No fees. The less expensive scanners will only work for engine codes. If you have an ABS/SRS/Tranny issue you need this one. Excellent for my abs issue. Scanner showed all 4 wheel sensor speeds at same time and allowed me to identify the wheel causing issue. Some simple fixes require a scanner to reset. This one does all modules. Cost of the scanner+Parts, when I can do the fix myself was less than 1 trip to the dealer. Instructions are poor but scanner is mostly intuitive. very happy

pleasantly surprised at how well this works. I've used on my 13 GMC, 02 accord and 05 magnum. help immensely on the GMC. it's easy to use you just have to be patient during the first firmware update. the quality for a budget unit seems top notch. this isn't a product endorsement it was a Black Friday purchase on a win and I couldn't be happier

A good scanner for home repairs.

I've been really happy with this device. Originally acquired so I could do an ABS repair on my Dodge 1500. Now working on a friends Mini and can read all the codes. The software is compatible with most foreign and domestic and updates are easily done and download fairly quickly. WIFI is built in and connect to a local network or your phone. The system generates and emails are report that can be printed or shared. The user interface is simple and intuitive. Repair helps are supposedly coming and I am excited to have those suggestions. A tough rubberized case protects the unit from "shop handling" making it durable. The OBDII connector is detachable for convenient storage. The internal battery charges using a USB-C connector. It may charge from the vehicle as well, I haven't paid attention to that. The carrying case is a practical extra for those of us not using it daily, but I could easily see a small shop using this all the time. Routines to reset throttle movement, TPMS, Battery programming are all included in the software.

This is a great tool to have if, like me, you are beginning to more DIY or a DIY superman. Setup is easy to perform, you connect to your wifi which makes updating software very easy. Menus and such are intuitive to access and get the info you need. Once you have a code you can look up meaning and what to do on the device itself. I even discovered some things on my truck that I would want taken care of even though no error code was thrown. This device provides that much information. Great to use to decide if I feel comfortable tackling a fix or let a more experienced person do it for me.

I am happy with this Scanner, getting to know this device is very easy, I deal with a FJ cruiser, Jeep, Yaris AI, any code issues I am ready, the resets work great for me, the device is sturdy, and the screen is clear to see with visual clarity

terrible operations. forced account creation and has to have wifi to work. plug in to car and takes 20min to go through login and vehicle recognition. speed is terrible then goes to get "information" from it's website in some other country and link unavailable. i can't get it to display simple realtime data from vehicle. it's full of pop-up screens for id check and sending me codes to my e-mail just to use it. verify and re-enter the same data every time i use it. it's plugged into the car and wants me to enter the VIN with no obvious selection to read the VIN. poke around for to find read the vin and it reads it then asks me if that is correct. i mean seriously? o.k. so i verify the vin that it read from the ECM is the same on the vehicle physically. (and this has to be done every time it's used on the same vehicle). then you have to use a code it sends to your email again. finally you get to confirming that it is the correct vehicle it thinks it's actually plugged into FFS, then it connects to the web to pull information about that vehicle and can't. simple can't. give a pop up window "no info" with no other options. this is the worst auto purchase I've ever made. i rage threw the scanner across my garage and haven't touched it since. i need to find a witch to put a hex on whoever is responsible. i've had better results working with gremlins after feeding a mogwai at 1am.

J’ai récemment acheté le TOPDON ArtiDiag 500 OBD2 Scanner et je suis vraiment impressionné par sa qualité. Dès la première utilisation, l’appareil s’est montré simple à configurer et intuitif, même pour quelqu’un qui n’a pas une grande expérience en mécanique. L’interface est claire, l’écran est lisible et les menus sont bien organisés. Il permet de lire non seulement les codes moteur OBD2 classiques, mais aussi ABS, SRS, transmission, batterie et bien plus encore, ce qui est rare à ce prix. La fonction AutoVIN est très pratique pour détecter automatiquement mon véhicule, et les mises à jour gratuites à vie assurent que l’appareil reste à jour avec les dernières compatibilités. Ce scanner m’a permis de diagnostiquer rapidement des problèmes, d’effacer des codes d’erreur et de vérifier l’état général du véhicule sans passer par un garage — ce qui m’a fait économiser du temps et de l’argent. En résumé, excellent rapport qualité-prix, facile à utiliser même pour les débutants, et suffisamment complet pour les amateurs comme pour les bricoleurs confirmés. Je recommande vivement !

I've had this scanner for four months now and it has been extremely useful. I've used it to check and reset my TPMS system. And just recently I had a transmission code that my cheap ODBII scanner that I keep in the car wouldn't read. When I got home I pulled out the Topdon, hooked it up and ran a system scan. It detected the P0847, directed me to the 3'rd clutch pressure switch, and allowed me to clear the code. I appreciate how it has its own internal battery so I can disconnect it from the car and it will retain and display info. It connects seamlessly to my home wifi and downloads necessary updates for itself and the automakers I select. This was an excellent investment that is miles away from cheap code readers! Very Happy!

This Topdon Artidiag500 Scanner is decent. I find it irritating that I have to charge the battery every time I use it though. Also, have not been able to use the SAS reset on some vehicles which is kind of the whole reason I bough it. Pros: I like the print a report option.

Does it read Specific Manufacturer codes like GM that other readers don't? YES! My 2020 Buick is displaying an engine light but my old reader couldn't read the "GM specific code" to diagnose the issue, so I purchased this TOPDON AD500. The device arrived the next day, which was pretty sweet, I did the login setup (create account, confirm information, etc..etc) then hooked it up to wireless internet, Installed the updates with the handy touch screen, downloaded all the FORD, GM, DODGE, JEEP, CHEVROLET updates available since I don't own any other types of vehicles. FYI, this thing can read all codes from almost every manufactured car sold in Canada or so it seems. Plugged it into my 2020 Buick Encore, hit the "diagnose" button on the screen, BAM, Code P146D:00 EVAP Surge Pump code. I'm so friggin stoked this thing works so well. Turns out the code is related to a recall so it's going into GM in 2 days to get the Recall work done. Well worth the $184.00 sale price. That, and it looks like Free updates for life, or at least until the year 2124 when all the updates seem to expire. If you want a code reader that seems like it can read almost every manufacturers car codes...seems to be really good quality, and doesn't just read the "generic codes", this seems to be a good choice. Even had some updates to get European models and out of country models as well, like Rolls Royce and Lamborghini's ....one day. If you have $200 to spend on a code reader that is up to date for 2025, has a bunch of options and can read codes to pretty much whatever you plug it in to...This was a good choice for me.

I bought this to diagnose an ABS and Stabilitrak problem with my 2009 GMC Envoy. It enables me to reset both lights and also see the wheel speed signal which my Torque Pro app (and sub) didn't do. Saved me a visit to the local shop to reset the codes and to fix my ABS system. Fairly easy to set up but needs an e-mail address to validate the purchase and to update the software for specific vehicles. So far it does exactly what I need it for. Most cheaper scanners can't access the BCM but this does as well as other parameters. Now I'll look at fuel trims etc and see how the old girl is holding up. It does what it says. Other reviews seem to say a wifi connection is needed to operate. It appears to me that wifi is needed to register the product and download updates for each type of vehicle you want to scan. After that, wifi isn't needed to scan the vehicle even multiple times. You don't need a connection to scan a vehicle just plug it into the ODBII port and identify the vehicle. Getting to some displays is kind of confusing but practice would make it easier.
