Has anyone tried using a hand-held OBD scanner while the car is running - I want to check the readiness of the monitors for state inspections

Thanks

 

Sure. Works fine even while driving.

 

waiting for op to spam obd scanner website.

 

I'm surprised that an OBD-II scanner can be used with the engine running. When I plug mine in, I get the message to make sure the key is turned to "ON" but the engine is "OFF". Guess I'll have to check with the ACTRON Co. to see if there are other tests I can do with the engine running.

will a OBD II WIFI or Bluetooth allow to test when engine running? Or I need to get the specific Honda scanner
