OBD Scan tool

Any suggestions which to buy, or not to buy? Is Actron crap, or do they all do pretty much the same thing? HF sells some as well.

bought it online a few years ago, shit works tits even on the wifes bmw.

shit works off the laptop and was only like $80. It tells you the code# when it was triggered and what exactly it is so you dont have to look that shit up.

Got mine for $100 off flea bay.

Great for clearing EGR code daily.

You can also monitor each sensor while driving, updates all sensors about once a second.

To the best of my knowledge Autozone doesn't sell a scanner that clears codes. They only sell code readers.

Why do you need anything other than a paperclip for OBD 1?

That ONLY works if you can retrive tranny codes via the OBD-2 port.

96-2000 Honda you can't, have to break out the paper clip and count flashes on the dash.
