Runs at once (reads)
Looks things up in CarsXE without asking first. 12 actions.
- Check Lien and Theft RecordsRetrieve reportable US lien and theft events for a VIN. A no-data response means CarsXE has no reportable record and is not proof that the vehicle is clear.

- Decode OBD CodeTranslate an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code into a readable diagnosis.
- Extract VIN from ImageExtract a vehicle identification number from an image supplied as an HTTP(S) URL or raw base64 image data, returning the best match, its bounding box and confidence, and alternative candidates.
