What is FIXD?

UPDATED March 2020. A diagnostic sensor can help you combat the check engine lights that you have. FIXD is one of the best tools for diagnosing your light and engine problems.

Considering this, does FIXD car really work?

The Fixd sensor works on all gasoline-powered cars equipped with an OBD-II port, but it doesn't work on cars manufactured before 1996, nor does it work on cars that are powered by diesel engines or cars that are exclusively electric. Or you can remove it and use it on any other OBD-II-enabled, gas-powered car.

Furthermore, does FIXD have a monthly fee? Being a member of the Fixd Maintenance Club is free, but the company does charge for the parts. Prices vary, depending on the maintenance work and the parts you request.

Consequently, how much does FIXD cost?

The device costs between $49 and $60, depending on where you buy it. FIXD is available at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Costco, Walmart, and through the FIXD website. FIXD premium costs $7.99 a month or $59.99 a year.

What can FIXD detect?

Currently, FIXD is able to read active check engine light. The other lights such as TPMS, ABS, Airbag, Maintenance lights, and Stability Control, are controlled by manufacturer-specific parameter identifiers, which make it difficult to communicate through the OBD-II port.

Is FIXD worth buying?

So, our final verdict is, that if you have a gas powered car made in 1996 or after that, or if you drive a hybrid vehicle, the Fixd OBD-II Active Car Health Monitor is most definitely worth investing in and using.

Do you leave FIXD plugged in all the time?

You can leave the sensor plugged in all the time, as it uses very little power when not communicating with the app. If you leave your car sitting for more than 3 weeks, we recommend that you remove the sensor.

Can FIXD clear codes?

Click “Clear Engine Light” on the details page to clear the code. If the code is cleared but the issue with the vehicle is not resolved, the check engine light may reappear after a certain number of miles have been driven. If the code is emissions related, FIXD cannot clear it due to Federal Regulations.
