How CarChip Works
The CarChip plugs into the OBDII port in many 1996 or newer cars or trucks to record trip and
performance data. This data is then downloaded into your PC computer, providing a detailed look at how
the vehicle was driven, including trip start and end times, vehicle speeds, rates of acceleration and
braking, and also any OBDII trouble codes detected during the trip. The CarChip software displays vehicle
data in summary, plot or table format, and can also be exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis.
The more powerful CarChip E/X logs additional engine and vehicle data parameters, including an accident
log which records 20 seconds of vehicle speed history prior to every sudden stop.

engine light.
Use CarChip E/X (products 8220, 8221) for:
