Nice little basic scanner. Will definitely help you if you need to see the codes that are present in your car. Small and compact and great for the price!

You should be able to do that without a reader. For Toyotas it's a key out of ignition and key in ignition while pushing some button combos

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank ThinksTooMuch

One star reviews give me pause. They say they can't get updates, and were told by manufacturer that they don't sell on Amazon & that these devices aren't made for the American market. Granted most of these are a year old, but I don't like what I see.

I got an update on this same unit a few months back. Hard part is getting the right software, the C-reader updater.

As far as cheap scanners go, i like launch a lot, a lot of good live data for diganosis

So this is kinda interesting...

If you add this product and clip the coupon, then go to LAUNCH Creader Elite 200 OBD2 Scanner Code Reader and clip the $25 off coupon, you also get 10% off for buying both of them at the same time. Cart shows $80.93.

I don't know much about ODB readers and am not sure why you would want both of them. But if the 200 is worth $125 that's still a good price for it alone.

Thanks for the tip! Picked up both the Creader 3001 and Elite 200 for $79.85 ($12.47 + $61.38 + 8.125% tax).

You can do this on the multi function display where the service notice pops up... It's not a real error and is just based on mileage (triggers every 10,000)

Is there anything on the market that can diagnose and maybe clear SRS/airbag control module codes and diagnose faulty transmission/torque converter? Non-brand specific. Something universal that i can use on different brands.

Probably not anywhere near this price range. The engine/emissions systems communications are standardized among manufacturers, but the rest vary in interface protocols, pins etc. Most readers that will really cover everything start in the few hundred dollars range for an import clone that won't do all diagnostics etc. Higher end units that do it all and have graphing/oscilliscopes etc usually start up in the 1k plus range. If you're a mechanic, it's worth the investment, if not, I'd buy readers specific to the vehicles you're working on.

In for one to try, I use FORSCAN for detailed stuff at home (all Ford house for now) but this will be nice to not have to drag out the PC and cable or mess with a phone, and/or help friends/family.
