 "Simple scanner but packs a punch for the price" 2010-01-08
By Ron
I bought this as a simple replacement for my older Actron Pocketscan scanner that was on the fritz. This device does everything that device did and much quicker in terms of reading codes and deleting them. It is a great device to keep handy in your vehicle for reading codes. You can then search on any website or car forum and you will find out what the code means. You could pay considerably more for the same type of scanner to do the same exact thing, read codes and delete them, but why do that. This is without a doubt one of the best values for a any motorist out there.

Got me the OBD code in much less then what a mechanic would charge, I was able to clear the code using this scanner. Finding the fix on the internet was easy.

Got this for a relative who owns a 2002 Toyota Echo.

After a Boston area garage ripped her off for a fuel pump, O2 sensors

etc etc (About $1,000), I read the codes and found out she had a dirty MAS sensor. (The sensor wires were thickly coated with gunk)!

After I cleaned it, the car started running much better (no more stalling) and getting fantastic MPG.. "Just like when it was new".

Cleaning the Echo MAS is a very easy DIY job. Instructions on the web.





Even with a new gas cap, she is still getting the P0440 Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction, almost every time she gets a fill up.



So, now she can quickly read and re-set the 0440 code and have her car ready for it's yearly state inspection.

(She just has to wait a week after resetting before getting inspected).



I've read that it's very common for the Echo to throw Emission Control System error codes, with 0440 being at the top of the list.



Cheers,

Rich

This scanner is specifically designed to work with all OBD II compliant vehicles (all 1996 and newer cars & trucks that are OBD II compliant). This list isn't all inclusive, therefore, your vehicle might as well work great with the scanner. There are a small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles that are also compliant. To see if your car is OBD II compliant, please follow this simple instruction: Check the Vehicle Emissions Control Information Label which is located under the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is compliant, the label will designate "OBD II Certified" and will have a 16-pin OBDII Standard Socket. This scanner is compatible all OBDII and EODBII compliant vehicles 1996 and newer. Please Note: may not be able to retrieve all codes on some VW, Audi, and Subaru cars.

 "Does the Job" 2010-02-11
By R. Lewis (Batimore, MD)
A check engine light caused me to order the OBD II scanner. I've had three check engine lights in the past year and each problem has been relatively minor, but the labor has been, on average, about $80 each time. On the third time, I decided to check the code and see if I could find the problem myself. I could have gone to one of the auto parts places (Autozone, Advanced, etc.) and had it read, but the closest is 11 mi away (22 miles round trip), so for just $35, I justified buying it. I read the code and then went on line to see if anyone else had experienced the same problem. Sure enough, the fix was there. I bought the part from the dealer for $23, put it in, used the OBD II to clear the code and re-ran the test. Everything was fine. I couldn't be more pleased.

Good product at a great price. Saves me from having to go to parts store and check engine light code.

Now I do it myself and have saved the price of the purchase after just one use.

 "Great basic code reader/eraser." 2009-08-15
By rockin24 (The O.C. in CA)
I have used this for over a year and a half now and have not had a problem with it. It reads the codes including P which some other reviewer could not seem to get it to do. The problem I had with my car was a stuck open thermostat so the light would come on every 2 or 3 days. I was easily able to retrieve the code, verify it was still the same problem, and erase it to turn off the light for over a year till I finally got the thermostat replaced. The light has lit up for other codes too, so I could check the problem before taking it to the mechanic to make sure he was telling me the truth.

 "Not the fanciest but works well for amateurs" 2009-07-24
By Ronny Ong (Dallas, TX USA)
Sure, many auto parts stores will read your codes for free, but you have to drive there during their hours and wait for someone to become available. It's like making prints of digital photos. Sure, Wal-Mart will do it for pennies, but it's not that expensive to own your own photo printer. When I saw how affordable this reader was, I couldn't think of a good reason not to own one.



I only have one car and I'm not the type who is likely to do any repairs myself other than changing bulbs, fuses, filters, wiper blades, etc. Therefore, I wasn't interested in spending more to get a code reader with fancier display, more buttons, or wider compatibility. I just wanted to be able to see the error codes and look them up so I would have some idea of what was going on BEFORE I started dealing with mechanics.



At first, I was completely ignorant about where to find my OBD II socket. The instructions give you some guidelines on where to look, but the exact location can vary by make, model, and year. It took me about 15 minutes with a flashlight to find it, not for any particular reason except my ignorance. It wasn't really hidden nor difficult to see; I had just never seen one before in my life. Once located, it was a piece of cake to follow the instructions for connecting the reader and scrolling thru the codes. Although the instructions give you a brief description of common codes, it only took a few minutes with Google for me to seem like an expert about my problem. When I called the dealership to schedule a service appointment, I was able to tell them enough information that they were able to confirm coverage under my extended warranty, verify that all the relevant parts were in stock, and have me bring it in at a time when they would well-staffed for the type of repair. (In larger service departments, some mechanics are stronger in certain areas, so if you have a transmission problem, it's best not to show up on the day when the transmission specialist is off.)



If you're worried this thing might be hard for a non-mechanic to use, you can stop worrying. If I could figure it out, anyone can. This product has worked so well, I almost regret that my car has been working so well that I rarely get to use my code reader.
