Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A breakout box is primarily used for diagnosing and testing electronic system circuits directly, without the need for back-probing connectors, which can damage them. It does not typically provide the same functionality as a scan tool (which is more for reading codes and data from the vehicle's computer) nor is it normally used to reprogram the PCM (Powertrain Control Module).
