Frequently Asked Questions - AutoLink AL629 Autel
Which vehicles are compatible with the Autel AutoLink AL629?
The AL629 works with most OBD-II compliant vehicles, including 1996 and newer US models, 2000 and newer EU models, and most Asian vehicles from 2002 onward. It supports all five OBD-II protocols (CAN, J1850 PWM, J1850 VPW, ISO9141-2, and KWP2000).
How do I read and clear diagnostic trouble codes?
Connect the tool to the vehicle's OBD-II port, turn the ignition on (engine off), and the tool will auto-detect the vehicle and establish communication. Select Read Codes from the menu to display current DTCs. To clear codes, choose Erase Codes after repairs, but note that this also resets readiness monitors.
Can I view live data with the AutoLink AL629?
Yes, the AL629 can display live data stream from up to 4 parameters simultaneously in text or graph format. It includes parameters such as RPM, coolant temperature, oxygen sensor readings, fuel trim, and more.
How do I update the AutoLink AL629?
Updates are free for life. Download the Autel Update Tool from the official website, install it on your PC, connect the scanner via USB, and follow the instructions to update the firmware and vehicle database.
Does the AL629 support ABS, SRS, or transmission diagnostics?
The AutoLink AL629 is a generic OBD-II scanner and does not perform manufacturer-specific diagnostics for ABS, SRS, or transmission systems. It only reads powertrain-related codes (P0xxx) and some generic C/U codes, but not enhanced systems.
Will the scanner drain my car battery?
The AL629 draws very little power from the OBD-II port and is safe to leave connected for short periods. However, to avoid battery drain, it is recommended to disconnect the tool when not in use, especially on older vehicles with weak batteries.
Can this tool reset the check engine light?
Yes, you can clear the check engine light by selecting Erase Codes after fixing the issue. However, if the problem persists, the light will turn on again after a few drive cycles.
What is the meaning of a pending code vs. a confirmed code?
A confirmed code indicates a fault that has occurred in two consecutive drive cycles and triggers the check engine light. A pending code is a fault detected during the latest drive cycle but not yet confirmed; it may not turn on the light.
Does the AL629 support multiple languages?
Yes, the device menu can be set to English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and more. Language options can be changed in the setup menu.
How do I interpret the live data graphs?
Select Live Data and then choose Graph view. The scanner displays up to 4 parameters as scrolling waveforms. You can adjust the time scale and freeze the graph to analyze sensor behavior. Use Record to capture data for later review.
