What PulsCar can do for your car
Start with the free engine sound check on the web and the SOS guides. The app adds trouble codes in plain English, a dashboard light decoder and a car journal, and with the OBDLink MX+ scanner it records your drives and warns you when to pull over. Each service has its own page that says what it does, what it does not, and what it needs.
