AutoXray 6000 EZ-Scan Works Well.
Ignore the idiots who want to count check engine light flashes or volt meter sweeps. Pro mechanics/ Techs use digital meters primarily anyway.
This is a great scanner for the money. If you want to just find out a code number go to a local auto parts store where they will scan the codes for free. If you want the code and the definition you need a real scanner, a data scanner. I love that this inexpensive, easy and quick to use scanner will read codes, define codes, clear codes but more importantly it records 'Freeze Frame' data as to what was going on when the code set. It very importantly displays live data. For you non-pros that means this little device will tell you what your vehicle knows and is monitoring as it is happening. Not every problem sets a code and not every code that is set means a part has to be replaced. I am an ASE Master with 34 years professional experience. I regularly use a Snap-On Modis I paid over $4,000 for and costs over $1,000 to update, This Auto X-Ray scanner does a great deal and I use it more often the Modis. It also has a battery tester utility that is identical to the one most professional shops and dealerships use. There is also a built in digital volt meter built right in. There are free updates available for download as well as affordable upgrades.
I've had mine for almost 4 years now and have no complaints. I have dropped it and abused it and it keeps working great. The battery seems to last a real long time too.
If you need more than a code number or are a young mechanic trying to accumulate tools, this is a great investment.
