I'm looking to buy a nice dignostic tool that can do OBD 1&2 along with CAN. I'm looking for suggestions. specially if you've used one. Here are links to some at Sears....
(Of course, Any help is apreciated.) http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12 ... =2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2 http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12 ... &blockNo=61&blockType=G61 |

The only thing, I don't think they would do ABS testing, if that's what you want, too.
But for basic powertrain, should work fine... If I had only those two to choose from, the Sears unit, with flash updates... however, Sears is in bad shape, and I don't know who will support this if Sears takes a financial shit. |

Bob, you may want to check with Matthew, he has an Actron and uses it on his neighbors cars (silly boy).
I use Autoxray but only have a reader. The Equus - you may want to check that part number for pricing at Summit. http://www.summitracing.com/search/Pa ... eaders/?keyword=scan+tool There's a vid here on the Actron, scroll to the bottom of the page. http://www.twoguysgarage.com/index.ph ... id=41:season-10&Itemid=80 |

I'm a fan of Actron tools, been using them for many years.
Had the old cartridge style scanner back in the early 80's and it still works good. A few years ago I bought a CP 9145, OBDII and OBDI. Does everthing I need! Plus the local parts house usually has them in stock. Joel |

Bill, Thanks for the video. That's helpful.
Andy, you might be right about Sears, but they're owned by Kmart. As you suggest, they may have a questionable future. I've always liked Actron as well. As a matter of fact, I still have an Actron Dwell/Tach I bought in 1972(?) and it still works great. At least I don't have to have one tomorrow, so I still have time to research this. BTW, I'm not limiting my choices to the two in my opener, those were the only ones I knew of at the time. I'm more than willing to look at others as well. |

This was the thread from before talking about scanners, but has to do with OBDII.
http://www.corvetteguruforum.com/modu ... id=175569#forumpost175569 I have this scanner: http://www.amazon.com/Actron-CP9180-A ... -Capability/dp/B000KG8KB0 I like it, but it doesn't read OBDI. Apparently they have another version that does that is similar to mine, I haven't used it: http://www.amazon.com/Actron-CP9190-A ... TF8&qid=1325907216&sr=1-2 |
