Diagnostic Code Reader

Actron CP9150 AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner Kit (Includes CP9145 Base Scanner, OBDI & OBDII Cables with Hard Case) Price

Paid for itself within a month…Easy to use and any wrench turner should be able to get along just fine with it. It will only give you codes and what they mean, you will still have to do research what they COULD be caused by. Its about a foot long and five inches wide and has a very durable exterior.
Yes, I love mine, with two Jeep Cherokees, a pair of 80’s Chevys and a fancy new Audi in the family I use it a lot!

Overview

Is your car’s check engine light on? If it is, your car is trying to tell you something and the Actron CP9150 Super AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner Kit speaks its language. Use this scanner to unlock the information stored in your car’s computer. Whenever your check engine light is on, the device can pinpoint the problem so you can fix it fast and be on your way. This scanner includes a hard carrying case and all the cables you need to step up from a simple code scanner to a sophisticated scan tool at an affordable price.

The Actron CP9150 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. The kit comes with all the cables you need to connect to a wide range of OBD I and OBD II vehicles. View details.

The user interface is designed for ease of use and quick control of scanning functions.

Turn off that distracting “check engine” light.

The Super AutoScanner Kit allows you to easily retrieve, read, and erase OBD I and OBD II trouble codes, as well as display and read live vehicle data for a faster diagnosis. 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. The CP9150 kit includes additional cables to retrieve codes and live data for 1984-95 Ford and GM models, and 1989-95 Chrysler models. Plus, the tool is fully upgradeable, accommodating future vehicles.

The CP9145 base unit 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.

The tool does the trick and will point you in the right direction for repairs.Worth the money, granted it is not a high end scanner will save some time and money

Actron CP9150 – Bryce W. Wells – Homestead, FL
I have had this scanner for about a month and half and this product has worked good for my needs and I would recommend it for your do it selfer.

Does what it says – B. Richmond – Washington State
I have only used it on a OBD I system so far. It works great for the 1989 buick century and 1990 Buick LeSabre. The check engine light came on the LeSabre plugged it in and showed me that the cam sensor was losing signal. Replaced the cam sensor and the car runs great again. So it works just like I wanted and expected.
