OBDii Scanner Reviews

richer mixture cuz a rich burn means cooler operating temp fans were always on to prevent overheating and since it was running at a lower operating temp the thermostat wasn’t working correctly my point is your not gonna always need a scan tool sometimes it will cause more confusion than actually offering help.

check engine light on had several codes,Temp sensor voltage high, Rad Fan Relay circuit High, TStat Not Functioning, (Fuel trim)system Too rich, what are you gonna do with all of these codes ??. . . these codes aren’t gonna tell you whats wrong you still have to do the full diagnostic, the actual problem with this car was a bad temp sensor when the ECM/ECU detected this it went into Limp-Home Mode made the engine run at a

IF your a true Automotive tech you would know how to use O-Scopes and know How An O scope Pattern should look like then you shouldn’t have a problem. DTC only give you a Foundation to start diagnosing doesn’t tell you the true problem IE. A car came to me with

@DeeeJayThrash ya but how you gona no what to look for without knowing the DTC code????????

@Nicksolo85 about $150 to $300

@Blizzardnz and your paper click will tell you whats wrong?

@Nicksolo85 They start out around 100 dollars and the more you spend the more it will do.

How much would a scan tool like that cost?

he is not saying that knowing to use a scanner, replaces your diploma/degree. it is just a video on using the code reader. if you are skilled enough to diagnose the problem from the error code and then fix it, good for you. otherwise you still gotta go to the mechanic or dealer.

will cost you $88 for the diagnosis though.

It takes a lot more than a code scanner to fix the emissions system. You still need to be able to test the affected parts with some pretty sophisticated tools and have some knowledge to go with it. Cars today are more complex than spaceships were 40 years ago. A competent mechanic is still a good idea.

not too helpful…it is an infomercial for website…production nice though

The music sounds like This Week At NASA.

fix the problem then disconnect the battery for about 30 min worked for me.

Wow that’s all huh just scan and fix. That’s gotta be why I payed 20 grand to go to school for automotive for a year and a half. I guess I wasted my money now that everyone knows our secret.

you cannot use that method on OBD2 cars (96+). Some Chrysler cars STILL have the key on/ key x off x times method, as late as 06, but otherwise you need a scanner.

use a paper clip its cheaper than buying a scanner

ya… no dude sorry

any car 1996 or newer

mole hills made mountains;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Can you use one of those on any car?

uhh… take it to a mechanic i didnt go to school for 2 years to become a technician to learn everything from your 2 minute video . dumbasssssss ………….

This is why OBD1 is better. you don’t even need a scanner (if you know what you’re doing that is). Plus modifying the engine for more hp is much, MUCH easyer.

great video. lots to be learned from it

Awesome vid, 2carpros is the best autorepair site hands down

Awesome Video,
