  • Sturdy, lots of info at a reasonable price
Color: Black
Great code scanner at a great price. It fits in your hand and feels solid. It has a bright, color display and intuitive navigation. Still, it comes with a user's manual. The device has enough information to keep me (average user) in the know about what's going on with my aged ride. I can keep an eye on some of the known problems and even switch off the check engine light, so I can pretend all my problems just went away. What a life hack! This has all the info you'll need to see if you're ready to pass your inspection or give you a foundation to talk with your mechanic. I'm glad I have it! ... show more

  • Works Well for Personal Use
Color: Black
I worked professionally performing car diagnostics for a little while, so I guess you could say my expectations were really high to begin with. I don't have any complaints and so far I've used it for three different vehicles (two Fords and a Toyota). It's intuitive if you have some experience with diagnostics, but the instructions are very brief, so if you get this, you might want someone a little more knowledgeable to help you navigate it. I didn't compare it to any other tools at the same time, but it did read an engine code on one vehicle that I was expecting, along with showing ignition count since last DTC on another vehicle, and that number was about what I expected Functionality wise, it's great; it reads DTCs pretty quick, and if there is a code, gives a short description of the issue. Also shows Live Data, which can be a great resource if you're troubleshooting something that doesn't throw a code (like why your AC isn't as cold as it should be). Only reason for not doing 5/5 stars is because I'm used to advanced diagnostics and this device made me feel very limited (for personal use, I think this device is perfectly fine). ... show more

  • Taking Care of Check Engine Codes
Color: Black
We just got it to test our P0015 Error on 2016 Toyota Highlander XLE with 119118 miles. Driving to the beach some 250 miles away from home and we got Check Engine and TRAC OFF lights illuminated with Cruise Control no more. Pulled in to the beach and unloaded the gear and took it to AutoZone and they found a P0015 B Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded Bank 1 Yet the Highlander was still running normal and we kept the off for several days. Getting back and ordering this Ancel unit which was compatible with our highlander while still on the beach and it got here as we got back home. The unit gave us some steps to try such as swap out the oil and then check for VVT and then for OCV that perhaps were faulty Took the first with Dirty Oil and went to get it chanced and error was no more Going to keep eye on the Highlander to see if Check Engine light appears once again with the same error code Found that I could also check other sensors and overall what I need to see if all is running in order and that I did not like was the guide has small print but there is a PDF on the page and now I have a PDF As for the appearance of the device it just perfect with the easy grip and and its pretty good size. ... show more

  • Does what it’s supposed to.
Color: Black
Did exactly what it’s supposed to do. The instructions aren’t really instructions. They are more like a button guide but not a feature guide. Either way once you plug it in and play with it and go thru the functions you’ll understand how to use it within 5 minutes or less. Bright screen even for night/dark mode. Screen and font are not hard to see. There is even a usb port to hook it to your computer but not sure if that’s for future updates or for uploading your diagnostics. Again the instructions aren’t really instructions. But stil. I used this on my check engine light. I already knew what the problem was but I didn’t know where. It told me exactly which coil was bad, and a simple google search can find my spark plug/ignition coil lay out. Very satisfied with this and hope it continues to be useful on other vehicles. There are really only 4 options you’ll really play with I haven’t done the record or the live monitor while driving but in my case I don’t need to. I’ve identified my problem and instead of paying $400 for a mechanic to do it I’ll spend 1/4 and do it myself. ... show more
