Has auto power-off when running off just the batteries.Needs at least 8V through the DLC connector to operate when scanning a vehicle (so trying to scan a car with a dead battery doesn’t work).Comes with DLC universal car connector cable, USB cable, CD with software, user manual, and carrying case.User can check OTC’s website to confirm that the 3111 is compatible with the vehicle.It can also be powered by just the USB connection from a computer or just the DLC connection from the car’s battery. The scan tool runs off four AAA batteries so it can save information when disconnected from the car. There’s no need to take a laptop out to the car for this. That way the user can keep a record of the car data. This program can take the information from the OTC 3111 and print it to the computer. It runs on Windows XP and is compatible with Vista and 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. The OTC 3111 comes with a CD for a program called Scanning Suite. It also has the CodeConnect function to look up the most common repairs for problems it finds. It explains the five-digit codes it reads, as well as the acronyms that appear. It can record and freeze data, show live information from the car while it is running, and graph the information, too. It comes near to pro level quality because it does so much more than just read and clear codes. It cannot read airbag fault codes (SRS) like the INNOVA tool described below. The OTC 3111 reads OBDII codes from all manufacturers and ABS codes from Ford, Chrysler, and GM, and some from Toyota. Since it had its last firmware update in 2011 it won’t work for cars or light trucks newer than 2010.

It works for cars manufactured from 1996 through 2010. The OTC 3111 reads three types of codes: On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II), Controller Area Network (CAN), and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).

All of these four scanners are handy tools for the do-it-yourself mechanic. Bosch also owns Actron, so there are definite similarities between this scanner and the next two below. OTC was acquired by automotive parts giant Bosch.
