This review is from: Autel MaxiDiag JP701 Diagnostic Scan Tool (Automotive)

I already have Autel GS400 and wanted to upgrade with an unit with live data and ability to diagnosis ABS/AT/Airbag etc. Unfortunately, JP701 does not seem to handle vanilla OBD-II that well. The freeze frame data from 1999 Camry has half the parameters with wrong data! I compared GS400 vs JP701 and JP701 gave bogus data for coolant temperature, MAP, vehicle speed, intake air temperature. It also has couple of impossible parameters such as fuel trim data for BANK 3!! The unit also has some inexplicable delays e.g. trying to review freeze frame data, it has lag of 5 seconds. It looks like this product was pushed out the door without much of testing. I will be returning this product as soon as I get an RMA from Amazon.

I wish I could keep this as the features on this unit are great. You can connect it to PC. Here is the freeze frame data from JP701 ...

[ EOBD ]
Record1 -> Freeze Frame
DTCFRZF P0420
FUELSYS1 CL
FUELSYS2 --
LOAD_PCT(%) 74.9
ECT(°F) 28
SHRTFT1(%) 2.3
SHRTFT3(%) -100.0
LONGFT1(%) 11.7
LONGFT3(%) -100.0
MAP(psi) 10.9
RPM(rpm) 1710
VSS(mph) 35000
IAT(°F) 0


The GS400 gave me ...
COOLANT 183 F
MAP 22.1 INCH HG
VEH SPD 21 MPH
IAT 86 F

As you can see GS400 gave the correct values whereas JP701 gave garbage.

The scanned does its job for a good price. I was disappointed that the adapters for the Honda, Mitsubishi and maybe others didnt come with it. I used it on a Nissan Sentra and it worked well. It is easy to use also and comes with the neat carrying case. Again the problem for me now is to somehow source the adapters to convert to 16pin connector to work with other vehicles.
