OBD II Supported Parameters
Auterra's Windows PC, Android and DashDyno SPD scan tools supports numerous live data parameters, statuses, readiness monitors, and test results. Live data parameters are parameters, or sensors, that provide real-time measurements (e.g. 32 mph). Statuses and readiness monitors provide a current status (e.g. Complete or Incomplete). And test results are measured by the vehicle's onboard computer and compared against internal pass/fail values. The Windows PC, Android and DashDyno software support the same parameters, except as noted below. Note, not every vehicle supports every parameter.
