Try it
I need to diagnose a check engine light in my [Vehicle Model/Year]. Use OpenClaw to order an OBD2 scanner from [Amazon Account Link]. Once delivered, guide me through connecting it to my car's OBD2 port. Read the error codes, identify the specific sensor issue, and propose a fix. Do not clear the light or place the order without my explicit confirmation. First, perform a dry run by listing the steps and estimated costs for my approval. If the scanner fails to connect, troubleshoot the connection before proceeding. Output a summary of the error code, the likely cause, and the recommended next steps.
