The major difference between the two is the ability to read and clear ABS/SRS warning lights. With the Autel AL519, you don’t have this function, but you do by upgrading to the AL619.
The Autel AL519 typically runs about $30 less than the higher-end model. Because of this, it is usually a better option for someone that needs to stick to a strict budget and doesn’t require more than basic functionality. For users that can afford to purchase the upgraded model, it’s wise to have the extra functions the AL619 offers.
Both models have a similar size and weight. They are both easy to handle and carry. Because of their smaller sizes, these units are portable and simple to take anywhere.
Neither unit offers Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity. This means you must plug the unit in to get a reading.
Both code readers offer several language options, a color screen and audio signals. With the troubleshooting code tips guide, technicians can get to the cause of a trouble code without much experience.
If you have the extra money to spend, we recommend the Autel AL619.
Neither model is high-end, so you have to expect some limitations with both of them. With that said, for the price, both Autel scannersprovide you with the portability and features you require to complete basic repair jobs.
Today, we’re taking a closer look at the ISO 9141 vehicle diagnostic protocol. What exactly is ISO 9141? What is it used for, and does it still matter today? Does the Autel OBD II scanner support this protocol? And how does it compare to the newer CAN FD protocol? Let’s break it down.
In a recent high-profile case, Nissan has recalled over 440,000 vehicles due to a potential engine bearing defect that could lead to engine failure and increase the risk of a crash.
In this article, we’ll explain what engine bearings are, why they’re important, common causes of bearing failure, how to identify early warning signs, and whether diagnostic tools like OBD2 scanners can help.
Every car diagnostic process should begin with a VIN check, because the VIN lays the foundation for what your Autel OBD II scanner will detect.But here’s what it doesn’t tell you:Your car’s current condition. That’s where a car diagnostic tool like the Autel MD906Pro comes in.
