Nice for diy

So I had an issue with my car after getting the transmission replaced. Whenever I turned left for the first time I’d get a Hill Hold disabled fault, a EPS System Fault, and my ABS light would come on and My Traction Control light would come on. Also, it disabled my cruise control. I was so annoyed because when the lights would clear after turning off the car so when I turned it on and start driving the diagnostic codes didn’t pop until a certain condition was met. When that condition was met the lights would pop on and the abs would engage slamming the car to a stop…. So I found a work around by starting the car and immediately turn the steering wheel to full left lock and engaging the fault. The problem was that the car is no longer in production and the manufacturer is no longer producing cars in the us making solving the problem even harder. With that, this device was a life saver. I was able to use the steering angle sensor feature to reset and calibrate my steering angle sensor which lost proper calibration when the steering components were removed for the transmission swap. Thank the heavens for this device being robust and at this price point. I would definitely recommend.

⁤The THINKCAR OBD2 Scanner is a new addition to my garage and has already proven to be quite useful. ⁤⁤This gadget offers thorough diagnostics for a variety of systems, including ABS, SRS, ECM, TCM, BCM, AC, and IC. ⁤⁤It is also very user-friendly. ⁤⁤It fits all of my cars because it covers more than 10,000 automobile models. ⁤ ⁤The five special service options are really great since they let me do things like reset the oil and bleeding the ABS without having to go to the mechanic. ⁤⁤For FCA SGW vehicles, the AutoAuth feature is a big bonus, especially for the more recent models that come with security gateway modules. ⁤ ⁤The simplicity of usage of this scanner is among my favorite features. ⁤⁤The live data readout is crisp and detailed, and the UI is simple to use. ⁤⁤I can now confidently identify and fix problems on my own, saving time and money on repairs. ⁤ ⁤One small drawback that I could think of is that the initial setup takes a little while, especially when updating the software. ⁤⁤But once everything is configured, it functions flawlessly, and the upgrades are worthwhile because they bring more features. ⁤ ⁤All things considered, the Scanner is a great purchase for any auto enthusiast or do-it-yourselfer. ⁤⁤It's detailed, dependable, and has already paid for itself by assisting me in identifying and resolving problems at home. ⁤⁤Strongly advised! ⁤

I have to say, this thing works great. I bought it for a few older vehicles I have, and wanted to not use my expensive Bluetooth connected one. The Bluetooth ones don't always work with the 1996-1999 vehicles. But, this thing works perfectly fine. It is slow, but has not disappointed so far. If you need a good OBD2 reader that works on MANY manufacturers, this thing does a great job. Can easily erase codes, and do the job. It doesn't do some certain things well (like reading the VIN from the computer), but like I said, the basic job, it does very well.

Buen escaner, muy sencillo, lo que esperaba , lo recomiendo 100%.

I originally wrote a highly critical review for this item, with good reason, but decided that I was overly unkind. It's a relatively new item and they still have a lot of bugs to work out of it. It is a diagnostic scanner rather than just an OBD II reader, which means it can give some valuable information. The documentation is quite poor. I recommend downloading the instructions and reading it yourself before buying to see if you can use the device. They don't have decent documentation available anywhere to download and what they send is pretty useless. There are several hundred cars that you can use this scanner on and all have some variation in what can and cannot be measured. With this in mind, I imagine writing decent instructions would be a bit of a challenge. You can be fairly certain that you will experience some frustration while trying to use this device. I bought it to run AC diagnostics on a 2011 Sonata. The ECU stream provides useful information but the AC system diagnostics won't connect. It turns out for this model car, this is a problem for most non-factory scanners. I can't say whether or not it will work for other cars. I'm a pretty good shade tree mechanic, so this scanner is probably overkill, tool-wise. However, todays cars are getting to the point where so much is controlled by the computers in the car that if you don't know what the computer is seeing or how it's interpreting the data, you really can't perform repairs that were relatively simple twenty years ago. The ECU stream from the scanner told me that the AC pressure was good and all the sensors were sending the right signals. It told me the ECU was sending an off signal to the compressor, but not why. The bidirectional support didn't work for this car so I couldn't tell it to send an "on" instruction. It also didn't provide the pwm voltage for the controller, though considering it was "off" it would have just been a 4 volt flatline. If you're looking for dealer style scanner information you won't get it, but then again it's is a tenth the price. This device isn't going to hand you the answer giftwrapped, you will likely have to work out the problem yourself, but it does give you additional information to find your answers. If you've ever paid for unnecessary parts from a dealer, then you are aware that the giftwrapped answers from the very expensive scanners aren't always right either. Solving problems is all about having the right information, This device provides you with additional data. In my case it ruled out a lot of potential problems and prevented me from wasting time and money on unneeded parts. In it's first use, it was not quite useful enough to pay for for itself, but after the next few repairs it should get there.

Excelente herramienta. Me gusta mucho para detectar problemas de aire acondicionado para autos. Que es para lo que lo compre yo. Además note que los software son muy útiles. Por ejemplo, sirve para regresar calipers electrónicos. Todavía estoy conociendo está herramienta, pero hasta ahora me está siendo muy útil. Y como amhago trabajo de mecánica menor y aire acondicionado, básicamente ya se pagó sola está herramienta.

Es un excelente escaner para diagnosticos basicos en taller o en el hogar. No es bidireccional y no tiene funciones especiales solo las que puedes obtener gratis con el equipo o las que adicionalmente puedes comprar.

Escanea completamente todos los sistemas con los que cuente el vehículo rápido e intuitivo para el usuario

FUNCIONA MUY BIEN, SAQUE 2 FALLAS DE VEHICULOS PRIVADOS YARIS 2017 Y MARCH 2017, ME AHORRE EL TALLER ELECTRICO

si bueno

No soporta muchas funciones por marca, ejemplo con Mercedes Benz
