I am surprised that the other reviewer of this product actually expected the code scanner to fix the problem, My advice? Read the product description and you'll know all it is a DIAGNOSTIC CODE SCANNER" and not a 'DIAGNOSTIC CODE SCANNER PLUS MECHANIC IN A PLASTIC BOX". It'll help you if you want to repair your own vehicle.

Autozone loans these out for free and runs your car through one of these for free, but I think it's great to own your own. Mechanics charge like $60 to read your computer code, and another $60 to erase it. It's better to just do it yourself with this lil machine. Takes less than a minute to erase your code!

With the blend of features and the price point of this unit, you will not find a better deal. Assuming your looking at these reviews you probably fall in to two main groups. 1. Someone who is having issues with their vehicle and 2. Someone who is really into cars or working in automotive towards being a mechanic. If you fall in the first group and just want to know why the check engine light is on, you can go to a major auto parts chain like Advance or AutoZone and they will tell you why in an attempt to sell you the parts to fix it. No sense spending money on a scanner if thats all you want. If you want the power of knowing and not have to go out of the way then consider a pocket scan which is cheaper. For most people you will need to subscribe to Alldata or Chiltons online, or buy a book like Autodata's diagnostic trouble codes to solve some of the problems with your vehicle. The scanner won't do it for you or put it in laymans terms. This scanner is more for group 2, this does the i/m readiness test for emmissions as well and is a solid entry level scanner. If you work in the field I would suggest getting a unit with enhanced obd capability if you can afford it.

The dreaded "check engine" light came on. Rather than have the garage check out my car, replace a lot of stuff and charge me major bucks, I decided to buy the Actron CP9135 OBDII AutoScanner. The scanner indicated an oxygen sensor problem. I reset the error and decided to have my car evaluated professionally, if the problem returned. Many weeks later and the "check engine" light has not come back on. I think I got a bad batch of gasoline. The Actron CP9135 has paid for it's self and it's very easy to use.
This OBDII meter worked great! April 16, 2007

I had a check engine light problem with my car. I purchase the meter and it was able to determine the problem via the code. I was able to fix the problem with 1/4 of what the dealer charges. The meter saved me hundreds of dollars. Highly recommend it!
