Is Your Check Engine Light On?

AutoXray Launches New Consumer Product at 2005 DEMO Conference

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 14 -- Have you ever turned on your cars' ignition to find the red "CHECK ENGINE" light is on? Unless you are an automotive mechanic, chances are you won't know what the problem is until your car is serviced. Driving around with the CHECK ENGINE light on can jeopardize both the engine of your car and your safety. Today, at DEMO@15!, technology's most elite product showcase, AutoXray, the manufacturer of diagnostic scan tools for professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers, is unveiling a tool specifically for consumers. The AutoXray CodeScout(TM), enables those with no previous mechanical experience to quickly and easily determine their automotive problems.

The new AutoXray CodeScout is the company's first foray into the consumer marketplace. Simply plug the adapter cord into the automotive diagnostic port -- usually found under the steering column -- and in seconds CodeScout will tell you what has triggered the problem. You can then determine whether the problem can be fixed easily at home or if a trip to a professional technician is required. If the problem does warrant a trip to the service station, you will already know what problems exist, protecting you from unnecessary repairs. The CodeScout will also run a check to show if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test.

By using the CodeScout, consumers will finally be empowered with the knowledge of what's wrong with their vehicle.

The CodeScout will have an MSRP under $150 making it an affordable alternative to expensive trips to the repair shop. The CodeScout can be used on vehicles from 1996 to current model year.

CodeScout will be available at major retailers nationwide or at www.autoxray.com.
