Autel AutoLink AL609P OBDII / ABS / SRS Code Reader

Autel AutoLink AL609P is a versatile OBDII diagnostic and code reader combining comprehensive OBDII/EOBD engine diagnostics with manufacturer-specific ABS and SRS/airbag fault diagnosis.

The AL609P is well suited for professional workshops and advanced DIY users who require more functionality than a basic OBDII code reader, particularly for diagnosing ABS and airbag warning lights.

The tool connects directly to the vehicle's OBDII diagnostic port and is powered by the vehicle. Its 2.8” color display, built-in DTC lookup library, and straightforward interface make everyday fault diagnosis quick and easy.
