The old way

Most scanners stop at the code.

A basic OBD-II reader can tell you that a code exists. But drivers still have to search forums, guess what is urgent, and walk into the shop without context.

  • You get a cryptic code like P0171 or P0420 with little explanation.
  • You do not know whether the car is safe to drive.
  • You risk paying for parts before the real cause is confirmed.
The Diagnose AI way

Code, context, confidence.

Diagnose AI turns a scan into a clear plan: what the code means, common causes, how urgent it looks, what to check first, and what to say at the shop.

No mechanic dictionary needed. Understand the issue fast.

Urgency guidance

Learn whether the issue appears minor, soon, or immediate.

Repair workflow

FAQ

Questions drivers ask before downloading.

Do I need an OBD-II adapter?

Yes. Diagnose AI needs a compatible OBD-II adapter to read fault codes and vehicle data from your car. The adapter plugs into the vehicle's diagnostic port.

Is this a replacement for a mechanic?

No. Diagnose AI provides informational guidance to help you understand codes and prepare for repair. Always verify safety-critical issues with a qualified mechanic.

Can the app tell me if it is safe to drive?

The app can provide practical urgency guidance based on the code, common causes, and symptoms. It cannot guarantee safety. If the vehicle feels unsafe, stop driving and get professional help.

Does every vehicle show the same live data?

No. Available data depends on the vehicle, adapter, ECU support, and connection quality. Some vehicles provide more sensor data than others.

How do I restore a Pro subscription?

Open the app, go to your profile or subscription screen, and tap Restore Purchases. App Store purchases are managed by Apple.
