Introduction

Introducing Piston, the app that puts your car's diagnostic information right at your fingertips. Is your Check Engine Light (MIL) on? With Piston, you can easily turn your mobile device into a car scanner and read the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to the problem, as well as the Freeze Frame data. This will help you identify and fix the issue quickly. To use Piston, you will need an ELM327 based adapter, either Bluetooth or WiFi, which you can connect to the OBD2 socket in your vehicle. Piston will guide you through the connection process. With Piston, you can read and clear DTCs, access real-time sensor data, check the status of Readiness Monitors, and even store DTCs in a local history or in the cloud. You can also access charts of sensor readouts, export real-time data from sensors to a file, check your car's VIN number, and examine the ECU's details. Some of these premium features require a single in-app purchase, but there are no subscriptions. Please note that Piston requires a separate ELM327 based device, either Bluetooth or WiFi, to function as a car scanner. Piston is compatible with OBD-II and EOBD standards, so it works with most vehicles sold in the USA since 1996 and in the European Union since 2001 for petrol engined vehicles and 2004 for diesel vehicles. In Australia and New Zealand, OBD2 is required for all petrol cars made from 2006 and diesel cars made from 2007. Get Piston now to easily diagnose and fix any car trouble you encounter.
