Turn off that distracting "check engine" light. | The scanner allows you to easily retrieve, read, and erase OBD II trouble codes, as well as display and read live vehicle data for a faster diagnosis. With optional cables, you can also retrieve OBD I codes and live data for 1984-95 Ford and GM models, and 1989-95 Chrysler models. This sophisticated, yet extremely user-friendly tool includes the CP9145 base unit and can be used on OBD II compliant cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. from 1996 to present. Plus, the tool is fully upgradeable, accommodating future vehicles. The CP9145 is built tough for both shop and road test use. It also features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their definitions. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive. The scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap, including live engine data parameters (PIDs). Built-in help screens help you interpret the data, and you can view freeze frame data, which provides a "snapshot" of the vehicle's operating conditions at the time of the fault. Meanwhile, an internal 9-volt battery stores the latest test results for later review. Use the Monitor Status and I/M readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance with a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards. Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test--even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms. The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. The scanner comes with CD software that contains 5,000 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their descriptions.

Well worth the money. January 17, 2010
mister pj (Slaving away in front of a computer.)
I'm not a mechanic, just another poor schlub who owns an aging car trying to milk every last bit I can out of my vehicle.
A problem nowadays, at least in my neck of the woods, is cars today are computer controlled vehicles. It's a big issue when your check engine light comes on and you have to get your car through an inspection - cars simply won't pass with the light on. The check engine light should have an accompanying cash register sound because as any car owner knows in most cases addressing the cause of the light will cost money.
Also, how damaging to the pocket (budget) is it going to be to address whatever is causing the light to trigger? How will you even know?
Even though I'm not a mechanic, I come from a family of mechanics and realize a little elbow grease and a willingness to spend the time doing something myself can save me a lot of cash. Now that I have the scanner, I can at least make an educated decision about whether I want to tackle a job myself or bring in into the local shop and have them do it.
The other thing is I can reset my computer now and clear codes. I had a misfire/02 sensor problem with my car and was able to reset the computer, get enough mileage on the vehicle without retriggered the code and pass inspection - it bought me some time.
The scanner is a handy tool to have and at the price it sells for, it pretty much can pay for itself with only one use.

This is an inexpensive scanner that does it all. It is easy to use. If you are a do it yourselfer this is a must have. If you take your car to the shop it is nice to know what the problem is before you get there so you don't get ripped off by an unscrupulous repair mechanic. Don't order the extended cable as the unit already comes with one.
