Customer Review :
A great OBDII reader
A great device that does everything, (and more) than most hand held readers costing at least 3 time the $100 bucks that this ScanTool costs.
It works with just about any computer, use a laptop with the supplied cable and even your desktop computer can be used if the car is within about 10 feet of the computer.
Very quick and easy setup with the supplied install CD. You don't have to be a computer expert to read and clear any error code. You can see all of the vehicle's sensors in a easy to understand screen. Third party software is available that will give some really impressive gauge panels and performance data.
Bottom line: A great value for a very useful tool.

The ultimate solution to your OBDII needs.
I've bought this tool a three weeks ago, and this tool (Elmscan 5 serial) has just proven to be such a amazing tool for the its price. With free software, I can do read OBDII trouble codes with ease and erase them. So far using this tool i've helped diagnose problems several old and new cars. Using live sensor data, I've been able to determine that my O2 sensor needs replacing, even though the check engine light is on. I can see so much potential in this as well, using the live data that this tool can provide I can use it toward performance tuning, for instance to monitor air/fuel mix, air flow rate, coolant temp etc.
I use this Elmscan 5 tool with my laptop and Sony Clie PDA, and I love this tool for what it can do for me and others (helping friends and family fix their cars). At the price it is sold, its a real bargin, because I have not found a PC based (or PDA) tool that can perform such functions and be flexible enough for all OBDII protocols at this price.

EZ-Scan 6000
I've been using this scanner for 6 day now and have performed 4 scans on various vehicles.
All the scans worked well. Not all the scans gave all the information I was expecting to see: It is VERY vehicle dependent. Some give a lot of information, and some give very little. All require a (REAL) vehicle shop manual. Although the codes are given in english description, the values given mean nothing if one doesn't know what the correct value is supposed to be! The same goes for reading various "Live data" in the Monitor mode. It's ALL meaningless unless you already KNOW what the readings should be!
The "PC" program installed without problems. You should be aware that the scanner connects to your PC via the old "Comm" ports, You know, Com 1,2,3,4... If you have no "com" ports available, your outa luck!(as in my case).
Customer Service/Technical Support: I tried to call and ask for support concerning the Com port issue and found NONE!! Support IS NON EXISTENT! They claim they have it, but I havn't been able to find it yet, 6 days and counting. The phones loop around, and none of the listed phone numbers work. Not ANY.
The Web support page returns a "server error" and has done so for the last 6 days.
As far as my Com port issue; I purchased a "Belkin" Serial to USB adapter and installed it. It provided a "Virtual Serial Port" via USB. This solution works fine. The update section of Autoxray' site worked. I downloaded the current tool and PC Software and downloaded it to the scanner. NOTE: The serial to USB adapter doesn't work with all software!! It's hit and miss... I was lucky.
The PC program provides a "Report" type screen with the data lined up as a summary report. Nothing fancy. No frills, no graphics. Just a way to store the data that was scanned.
My bottom line: Don't expect this tool to fix your car. You need real technical information about your car AND a healthy background in technical abilities.
I would not pay the suggested retail of $799.00! NO WAY!
I paid $450.00. I have the manuals and the background. it works for me. As for all those sensors... Is it the sensor or the wiring to the sensor, or the computer??? AutoXray does NOT play in that ballpark!
Rating :
Overpriced BY FAR
MOST vehicles can be tested KOEO (key on, engine off - memory codes) with an analog voltmeter and counting needle sweeps, or looking at the CHECK ENGINE light and counting flashes.
Just because a code reader gives you a "32" doesn't mean you have a bad part relating to that number. An EGR valve stuck open from carbon on an older EEC-IV Ford will give an EVP sensor out of range (its not fully extended). A kinked MAP sensor hose will give odd problems and false readings. A generic TFI (ignition module) will have your car running like crap with no end to repair bills in sight (until you get a Motorcraft TFI again!).
This item is by no means a "magic wand". I had a chance to use one at a friends house...his hesitation problem was nothing but old spark plugs (platinum plugs are junk: get copper core; AC Delco or Motorcraft). This reader (AS ANY READER) will ONLY get codes STORED in your ECU, or "hard faults" in a KOEO test. Manufacturers used to make the processors "dumb" so they wouldn't store a code if the error only happened a few times - I feel they are doing it again.
If this is the "Lincoln" of all testers, it should come with a BETTER way to hook it to a PC - like an USB port.
I do like that it comes in a case...a small sheath would just hold the broken parts inside when it would be dropped.
I rate it 2 stars only because the retail price is ridiculous. The product itself is a 3.5 or so.

Questions & Answers
Question : I own a dodge dakota.The check engine light is on intermittenly.Are code readers worth buying.?
Can the code readers really tell you what the exact problems are? What should I look for if I decide to buy a code reader. Thanks for any help with this problem.
Answer:
most auto parts stores will actually "read" your computer for no charge provided you buy the part from them.
If you are a hand on person and typically do your own work then yes it is very worthwhile. If you go to the garage then just let them do it. They will want to use their equipment anyway. You also have a leg to stand on if they diagnose it replace a part and its not the issue. If you go and say It's the Oxygen sensor etc, they can just say its what you wanted when you brought it in. Natually a sunpro etc won't be as good as a snap on scanner but they do their jobs. I have never had a problem.

Thanks
Answer:
if you tell me what model and engine, i can look up the color and position of the eng. light wire from the computer. you can then use a test light to flash the codes

Question : Where do you plug in a code reader on a 1995 Ford F-150?
The check engine light came on a week ago, I tried adding a water remover, checked my connection to make ure they were solid and my fluid levels. I'm trying to use a code reader, but it doesn't ay exactly where to plug it in.
Answer:
SOME 1995 model year Ford products were already OBD-II compliant, even though it wasn't required until 1996. On your 1995 F-150 the 16-pin data link connector is located on the PASSENGER side, inside the vehicle, directly beneath the glove compartment. As strange as it sounds, that's where Ford chose to put it. Hope this helps.

Question : is there a way to check the engine light codes on a 92 explorer without a code reader?
I have a 92 explorer xlt 4x4 and the check engine light is on. Is there a trick to make the light flash the codes? Also it hesitates on acceleration. I've changed the plugs and wires and put lucas fuel injecter cleaner in it. I heard it might be the fuel pump causing it to surge like that but I think it might be related to whatevers making my check engine light come on. Its off everytime I crank it but then it comes on when I drive it up the road a couple miles. I know on some cars theres a trick using a paperclip to get the codes to flash and on my old 93 sundance I had to turn the ignition on and off a certain way to get the light to flash but I'm not sure if I can do that on my explorer. Thanks for the help.
advance only does 96 and newer but yeah i found what all the codes mean I just need to find what codes my truck is putting out. How do I do the volt meter thing?
Answer:
take it to advane auto they will do it for free. you can also do it with a multi meter counting the number of times the needle jumps lets say two long and two short would be code 22, but then you would need to know what code 22 is
you hook the meter up were the code machine would go and i beleive place the meter on A/C volts and simply turn the ignition ke on (not starting and it should read the codes. the chiltons manual explains how to do it. I had an 90 ranger that i had to do it too. i looked for the manual through out the house, but could not find one. tyou could try calling some garages and see if they have an old chiltons laying around to get a look at the exact procedurer or check at a local liberie.

Question : Have you used the PocketScan™ OBD II Code Reader from Actron to diagnose a problem on a 2001 Tahoe?
Want to see if Check engine light is really a problem or just a Revenue Generator for dealerships.
Answer:
Unless you are experiencing an semi-serious engine problem. the check engine light could come on for number of reasons. Could be anything from an o2 sensor to an EGR valve to an irregularity in voltage in the fuel gage or a faulty coil. There could be a hundred reasons why the light came on.
It's not a Revenue Generator. Cars are technologically advanced and the check engine light comes on whenever a code is triggered.
You can also unplug your battery and let it sit for 5 min and that will often reset the code. Then you can drive and see if the check engine light was a one time code or if there is a part that needs replacing.

Question : nissan frontier 2002 error code p0505 wont start.?
Truck wouldnt start.Check engine light on.Code reader Flashes yellow light saying other codes cant be read until truck runs but I cant start truck with check engine light on.
Answer:
p0505 is the IACV/AAC Valve (Idle control valve) You'll probably just have to get it replaced. The part costs about 179 dollars plus maintenance.
For the parts price I estimated your frontier was a 2wd v6, although it shouldn't make too much of a difference if it is awd. You can find the part at the second link.

Question : where is the engine cylinder head temperature sensor for a 2000 lincoln ls v8?
my engine keeps saying its overheating, even though when i check it, its not actually hot, when i hook it up to the code reader it says "engine cylinder head temperature sensor detected high heat" so i bought a new sensor hoping that will solve the problem, but now i cant find the old one, its just a brass fitting with a wire harness on one side and a threaded probe on the other but i cant find it for the life of me, i have a 3.9 liter v8, same engine in jaguar type s if that helps, thanks for all the help.
Answer:
According to the factory service manual the Cylinder-head temperature sensor is located on the passenger side of the engine block, at the bottom of the number 3 cylinder intake port, (under the intake manifold). You will need to remove the intake manifold to replace it.
No wonder you can't find it......
Parts and Labor are $19.68 for the sensor and 3.0 hours labor, so with tax and a intake gasket your looking at $350.00 clams.
It is also possible the wire to the sensor has melted or grounded out, so if you can find the wire and disconnect it and see if your light goes out.

Question : I have a 2000 Honda Civic ans for some reason the yellow engine light came on. What does that mean?
It is an old style engine light and it is not digital. It is just a little scrolling wheel that is either green yellow or red. I have no idea what yellow means and a code reader says nothing. The car does seem to rumble a little more at idle. Please help!
Answer:
If you've changed your engine oil recently it may be that you or the mechanic you assigned did not reset the sensor right under your dash for you. Try this: Look for the switch it's normally to the right side of the steering column under the dash (it's close to the edge) press and hold the button while you start the engine. Keep the button pressed until that light shuts off.
If that doesn't work have your Honda's manual handy and check to see about your lights and their meanings.

Question : On my 1999 F150 what would cause the theft light to flash and engine to turn over and not start?
It has a PATS system. I can take key out and put it back in for a few minutes or sometimes longer and theft light stops flashing and it will crank then. I know it has a chip in the key. My best quess is it is the key or the code reader. It actually died on me going down the road yesterday. Thought it was the fuel pump gone out but the PATS works by shutting off the fuel pump so I got it to crank again and drove it home. I am hoping the system may just be dirty inside the column since it is so erratic the way it works. Is there any way to clean the ignition system or key code reader?
Answer:
I'm sorry to inform you, but ANY time you have a PATS issue, the Ford dealer is the ONLY option to fix your problem. The reason for this is because only NGS, WDS, PDS or IDS will communicate with the PATS module. You will need to bring BOTH original keys with you. No other generic scan tool will communicate with the module, to enable diagnosis and/or repair.
