Full OBDII Functions for Accurate, Efficient Diagnostics

All-in-one OBD2 diagnostic scan tool with full OBDII support, including all 10 test modes plus Enhanced Mode 6 and Mode 8.

What Can These Functions Do for You?

1. Reading Codes: Shows detailed descriptions of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
2. Erasing Codes & Reset: Turns off the MIL after repairs are completed according to scanner prompts.
3. Live Data Stream: Reads and displays live ECU/PCM data, plots graphical functions, and stores freeze frame data.
4. View Freeze Frame Data: Checks vehicle conditions recorded by the onboard computer at the time an emission-related fault occurred.
5. DTC Lookup Library: Built-in DTC library lets you search specific definitions and possible causes—no need to copy-paste or search externally.
6. EVAP System Test: Initiates a leak test for the vehicle’s EVAP system to determine necessary procedures to complete the test.
7. O2 Sensor Test: Retrieves and displays O2 sensor monitor test results from the most recent tests performed by the vehicle’s onboard computer.
8. On-Board Monitor Test: Retrieves and displays test results for emission-related powertrain components and systems. Locates misfire cylinders and displays live misfire counts.
9. Read Vehicle Information: Displays VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), CID (Calibration ID), CVN (Calibration Verification Number), and more.
10. I/M Readiness Status: Shows whether emission-related systems are operating properly and ready for inspection and maintenance testing.

Important Notes:

• Clearing trouble codes also clears readiness status. The vehicle must be driven through a complete drive cycle with no stored trouble codes. Reset time varies by vehicle.
• Do not erase codes before repairs or services are performed. Codes will reappear if the underlying fault is not resolved.

LAUNCH CR3008 PLUS: Keep Your Engine in Top Condition

When Should You Diagnose the Engine?

1. When the Check Engine Light illuminates—indicating the OBD system has detected a fault.
2. If the engine runs erratically (e.g., stalling or auto-shutdown during idling or driving).
3. When experiencing abnormal operation such as shaking, poor acceleration, or reduced fuel efficiency.
4. If tailpipe emissions exceed legal standards—diagnosis helps identify emission-related issues.

If the MIL light is on, the LAUNCH CR3008 Plus tells you where to start looking. If there’s no MIL but the vehicle isn’t performing correctly, simply view live data to identify parameters outside normal range. This OBD2 scanner reads DTCs, accesses emissions readiness status, turns off the Check Engine Light (CEL), resets monitors, and translates complex car problems into simple, understandable terms—no vague error data. It also helps you pass smog tests, monitor your car’s health, and potentially save thousands in unnecessary repairs.

Note: All OBD2 scanners require the vehicle engine to be running to read and clear codes.

Smog Check Helper

I/M Readiness is essential for evaluating a vehicle’s compliance with state emissions programs before inspection. With a dedicated hotkey for swift checks, the LAUNCH CR3008 Plus delivers fast results—right out of the box. Use it to read/clear DTCs, turn off the MIL (Check Engine Light), reset monitors before a smog test, and understand your vehicle’s condition before heading to a repair shop.

On-Board Monitor

Designed to monitor various aspects of vehicle performance and provide real-time feedback to ensure proper function of the emission control system and other critical components.

EVAP System Test (Evaporative Emission Control)

Checks the integrity and functionality of the vehicle’s fuel vapor management system—designed to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere, reducing emissions and environmental pollution. It detects leaks or malfunctions by pressurizing or vacuuming the fuel vapor system and monitoring pressure or vacuum levels for leakage.
