Has saved me big bucks!! (Rating: 5.00) Review : I bought this because my wife's car is always running its check engine light and I never know what's wrong. Every time I brought it to her dealer it cost me as much as this tool. I wish I had this thing two years ago, I would have saved myself 200 bucks. Almost mandatory for modern vehicles! (Rating: 4.00) Review : The engine in my 2000 Ford F-150 Supercab started dying frequently, the dreaded "check engine" light came on and I did not want to take another $$$ trip to the dealers service department. So I do a little research on OBD and bought an Actron CP9135 OBDII AutoScanner at an excellent price. Plug it in, retrieve the "P1507" code, which translates to "Idle Air Control System Underspeed Error (Ford)". I check the IAC sensor and discover it's not plugged in right. I fix this connection and the problem disappears! If you have a modern (post 1996) vehicle and you do a little of you own auto work (turn a wrench now and then) you need this OBD box. Actron makes an excellent product at a very good price. (If you have an check engine light on - you need a OBD box!) nice little scanner (Rating: 4.00) Review : good scanner but does not retrieve codes for Brake (ABS) or Air Bag (SIR) systems. Excellent function and quality, price a little high (Rating: 4.00) Review : I bought this becasue my Ford constantly pops it's Check Engine light. Considering the visit to the dealer is around 3/4 of a bill each time, I figured this would equal two trips to the dealer. It does a nice job of reading the codes and resetting. It also does a nice job of monitoring the sensors. What it will not tell you is exactly how to fix your problem in many cases. I am an ex-service manager (from the pre-techno era) and reasonably accomplished mechanic. Even I have to do research after collecting the code. Determine WHY you have a particular sensor reading. Different things can trip the same sensor. This is a well built tool to help you in your diagnosis. It is not the automatic answer machine some people may assume it to be. I think this tool should sell for under a bill. That detracts one star. |
