Car scanner is basically a tool used to diagnose the fault codes generated in the car due to some malfunctioning. It can be malfunctioning in engine or electrical system or in the braking system or any of the systems available inside a car. This malfunctioning generates fault codes and sent it to the ECM (Engine Control Module) and that codes get saved in the ECM memory. The scanner search for this DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) in the ECM memory and display it to the operator.
