Autel MaxiScan Canbus OBDII Check Engine Auto Scanner Trouble Code Reader $17.49

I will buy the actron...so, if the check engine light comes on, you connect this and read the code and see if the mechanic tells you the same thing or whether he is trying to rip you off?

You use this to avoid the mechanic and fix it yourself

i own this one , use torque on hp touchpad and connect by bluetooth . first day i did everyones car at the office . ford honda nissan chevy ect . even did live monitor while driving . fun fun , keep in mind the "MINI" is the size of a pack of cigs and if your connection is staring down over a pedal , driving is impossible ( yes they make a m-f extension cable w/ a right angle connector to wrk around this ..$$ ) .

BTW i cleared up my issue ( oil pressure sensor, honda ) by resetting the error and using chevron techron fuel additive for 2 tanks ( not a 30 dollar sensor , the mech said i needed , while everyone in the honda forums said i didn't ).

using a realtime display was fun fun fun ... just my .02's

btw , i used my droid phone first , but display was hard to read .... fun fun fun .

they generally take very high depisit. And AFAIK, it is illegal to reset code wuthout having it professionally checked. My light is on and my guy didnt want to turn it off.
