Record what the car reported.
Keep the source with it.
Connect a compatible ELM327 reader while parked. Axlyne records supported generic trouble codes, their reported status, scan time, and selected vehicle. A scan does not diagnose the fault, recommend a repair, or establish whether the vehicle is safe to drive.
A supported standard generic code observed during one scan. It is not a diagnosis or vehicle clearance.

Three facts kept together.
What code was reported?
Keep the supported generic code exactly as reported through the current scan.
What status was reported?
Preserve stored, pending, or permanent status without converting it into severity or driving advice.
Which vehicle and scan?
Keep the selected vehicle, scan time, and standard generic OBD2 source with the observation.
Keep a record of your check-engine scan.
Check current App Store and Google Play availability. The planned Free tier can read supported standard generic OBD2 codes with a compatible ELM327 adapter. Professional diagnostic work may still be needed to identify the cause and repair.
My check engine light just came on. Do I need to stop driving?+
Axlyne cannot determine whether a vehicle is safe to drive. Follow the warning-light guidance in the vehicle owner's manual and seek qualified help for safety decisions.
I don't know anything about cars. Can I use this?+
Plug a compatible reader into the OBD2 port while parked, tap scan, and review the supported generic code and reported status. Vehicle, adapter, phone, and available-data compatibility varies.
What does a scan require?+
Axlyne requires a separate compatible ELM327 OBD2 adapter. Connection and available data vary by vehicle, adapter, phone, and the data the vehicle exposes. At launch, Axlyne's Free tier includes standard generic code scans.
What can I share with a mechanic?+
You can share the generic code, reported status, scan time, selected vehicle record, and source context. Axlyne does not identify the failed part, recommend a repair, set a price, or replace diagnostic testing.
Can it turn the light off?+
No. The current release records reported codes and does not enable code clearing. Use qualified service equipment and follow its safety instructions.
