document. Please keep this document for

future reference.

Product Information

SWOBD7 works on all 1996 and later 12V petrol and diesel vehicles that are OBDII compliant

US, European and Asian vehicles. For your vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16-pin

DLC (Data Link Connector) and the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label must state that the

vehicle is OBDII compliant

The SWOBD7 can identify the cause of your CHECK ENGINE and perhaps ﬁx it. It can help you to

pass annual emissions tests and SMOG CHECK.

It covers full OBDII/EOBD diagnostic functions for engine systems, O2 Sensor test, EVAP systems

test and on-board monitoring test, it can give you full control of your vehicle’s running status, while

the graphical and numeric data stream display will help you to ﬁnd out the faulty sensor readings.

SWOBD7 can read common fault codes and can help to ﬁnd the problem quickly and accurately,

thus enableing quick vehicle repair.

It support multi-languages, you can use the Find Tool Setup, then select the language you require.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan

tool, read this instruction manual ﬁrst and observe the following

safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:

• Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.

• Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.

• Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc.. away from all moving or hot

engine parts.

• Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are poisonous.

• Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while

running tests.

• Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition

wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the

engine is running.

• Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual

transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.

• Keep a ﬁre extinguisher suitable for petrol/chemical/electrical ﬁres nearby.

• Don’ t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the

engine is running.

• Keep the scan tool dry & clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use a mild detergent

on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan tool, when necessary.

The Streetwize SWOBD7 is an Auto Diagnostic OBDII Fault Scanner with a Colour Screen, designed to assist in diagnosing vehicle engine issues. It is an advanced diagnostic reader featuring a TFT colour display that provides clear Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) readings to pinpoint the reason behind an illuminated engine warning light.

Function Description

The SWOBD7 works with all 1996 and later 12V petrol and diesel vehicles that are OBDII compliant, including US, European, and Asian models. For a vehicle to be OBDII compliant, it must have a 16-pin DLC (Data Link Connector) and the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label must state that the vehicle is OBDII compliant.

This device helps identify the cause of the CHECK ENGINE light, potentially assisting in fixing issues and passing annual emissions tests and SMOG CHECKS. It covers full OBDII/EOBD diagnostic functions for engine systems, including O2 Sensor test, EVAP systems test, and on-board monitoring test. It provides full control over the vehicle's running status, with graphical and numeric data stream displays to help identify faulty sensor readings. The SWOBD7 can read common fault codes, enabling quick and accurate problem identification and vehicle repair. It supports multiple languages, which can be selected via the Find Tool Setup.

Key features and functions include:

Voltmeter function and battery level indicator: Provides real-time voltage readings and battery status.
Cranking System Test: Analyzes the cranking system's state, displaying cranking voltage and time, and graphs the waveform of the cranking system.
Charging System Test: Analyzes the charging system's state, including waveform of the ripple test, unload, and load voltage.
Check Engine Light (MIL) diagnosis: Easily determines the cause of the Check Engine Light and allows for turning it off, clearing codes, and resetting monitors.
DTC definitions: Displays DTC definitions directly on the unit screen.
Freeze frame data: Views freeze frame data, which captures vehicle conditions at the moment a fault code is set.
Monitor and I/M readiness status: Displays emissions-related monitor status.
Pending codes identification: Identifies codes that have been detected but are not yet confirmed.
Live PCM data stream: Reads real-time data from the Powertrain Control Module.
Live O2 sensor test data: Displays real-time oxygen sensor readings.
