Holiday Gift: Actron Pocketscan Code Reader

[Mook]

i want this

If you drive older cars you're going to find yourself in a situation where you are nowhere near home and a check engine light suddenly appears. What does it mean? Is it just a bad spark plug? Is your engine going to explode? That's where the Pocketscan OBD II Pocket Scan Code Reader comes in handy. For around $90.00, you can carry the power of being able to securely diagnose your ride before an out-of-town mechanic tells you that you need a whole new transmission. Of course, you're going to need an OBD-II compatible car, so your Datsun 510 wagon may not work. Product details below the jump.

First Time Diagnostic Tool Buyers will find PocketScan Code Reader is the Right-Sized Tool, at the Right Price

PocketScan Code Reader CP9125 is an easy-to-use tool for novice and light-to-moderate DIY customers. It enables the user to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the on-board computers of 1996 and newer OBD II compliant vehicles. This gives the user the ability to quickly determine the cause of the "Check Engine" light coming on. Once repairs are made, the PocketScan allows the user to clear the trouble codes and turn off the light. All Actron code readers and scan tools are CAN compliant.

Do you think these are something new? I personly would rather spend a few hundred on a full tuning device rather than $100 or whatever on just a thing that scans for check engine lights.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

ya i have both, a scanner i keep with me and then my hptuners for the rest

 

[Mook]

i think i posted about this earlier this year actually i'm just posting it again cause i still want one. i dont have any need for the big unit or a tuning device. i just want one to keep in th evo for the days i throw a code that i'm not expecting

 

[Mook]

oh, and while the ls1m is nice, that thing would always eat batteries like crazy and half the time it would give time out readings, drove me nuts
