Looking for a tool if any that will work with a 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid. I have tried several but none seem to be able to read / clear codes or recognize the VIN etc. Its like Ford has locked out the consumer from the computer. I know OBD port is good and the tools work on other cars
That brought back memories! lol. I learned about and worked on those obd1 vehicles when I was in school over 20 years ago.
I work for Spx flow we owned OTC Owatonna Tool Company used to get the scanners for cost $50 for the basic in vid not anymore glad i purchased what i needed updates extra of course.
Wow THANK YOU I needed a scantool for a car I have 89 cavalier z24 and I looked for weeks for a scantool...every single one I looked up said absolutely nothing about what obd1 can do and I needed live data and here you are taking the time to do this video!!!AND GODBLESS I was gonna buy the Bosch 1300 ...but this otc is the exact format with the bosch logo YOU SAVED ME ALOT OF TIME THANKS AGAIN
I have a BOSCH 1350 scan tool. It looks extremely similar to that OTC 3211. The only difference in appearance is the color and name. I've also seen that scanner under several brands and different colors. The 1350 I have is for OBD2 only and the cord can not be disconnected from the scan tool. The 1350 does show OBD2, ABS and SRS codes with the ability to clear those codes. It also displays live data for OBD2, SRS and ANS. It was real useful when I had the ABS light on on my car. I had a bad R.R. WSS which I replaced. It saved me $150+ in diagnosis, labor and parts mark up. It's a good tool for the DIYer.
Frank Gonzalez frank i have the actron 9695same as yours .different color haha great tool
I as well have been doing repair on vehicles for 40 years. This brought back to mind why I was never so glad these old vehicles left the road. If that truck did not have electronic transmission it would have left you with nothing but code gathering. Prehistoric at best.
Many of us still have and like these old pigs, OBS .And we still need to repair them .
Wow. Your timing couldn't have been any better. I was just looking at buying a OTC 3211 just for my OBD-I work. Seems that I lost a bunch of OBDI capabilities on my Genisys when I upgraded the software on it the last time. I work on a surprising amount of OBD-I vehicles and it would be nice to have a 'modern' scan tool dedicated for these vehicles.
Watching the 3211 do the KOER tests and hearing it beep as the codes came in just brought me back down memory lane. So much nicer doing this with a scan tool and not an analog multimeter or test light.
I just brought the OBC 1 & 11 code reader and scanner model 3211 for my 94 Z28 Camaro. It's very limited, it does not support ABS or Air bags on GM OBD1 vehicles which is why I purchased it. It will give you streaming data when the engine is running. It's one step up for $225.00 then a paper clip for reading and clearing trouble codes.
I just picked up the exact same scanner as that OTC only mine is orange, with Actron badging. Works sooo much better than expected on SN 95.
Good video. I didn't even know the Encore would work on OBD1. They don't give the adapter cables away. Which is why I kept a couple OTC Monitor 4000s around. Thanks!
+Mid-Thumb Automotive it may of even worked better if the engine was fully warmed up with no trans range issues.
I have the Bosch version of the small scan tool. (Bosch owns OTC and Actron) Haven't had the chance to use it on OBD1, but it works great for OBD2, reads generic and manufacturer, as well as ABS and airbag.
great vid. keep it up. you and the humble mech. r the only two i follow daily.
+Richard Alvis Oh cool, I was just at an event with him this past week, nice guy.
OTC 3211 has NO reviews on Amazon. That is weird. Been out for a year now.
I bought an OTC 3211 back in Feb 2018 and as soon as I got it tried to update it, none were available, I called their tech support and was told they updated every 3 or 4 months, so I waited and waited.. to this day not one update. OTC and Bosch and Actron are owned by SPX and they all seem to use the same software and firmware for those common tools. I don't mind that but when you sell a tool originally made in 2016 / 2017 and never update it and keep selling it, that is fraud.
Which has more functionality and diagnostic benefit, Encore or Solus Edge?
yeah, i get the impression you and him are straight shooters. lot of v.w. and ford where im at. having to strengthen my diagnostics. its always interesting. B.m.w. comes through here alot as well. anyway, thanxs for the reply at keep up the straight forward, honest approach. good luck in your endeavors.
I was wondering why Eric O didn't suggest the New OTC Evolve, it has a lot of features, all wiring diagrams that are on their server, repair information of common problems, links to Google, Identifix, 2 wireless systems, comes with a J-2534 Programmer that you can program with at around $4000. I have a Verus Wireless which will no longer be supported after this last update, so that is why I am looking at that tool, it doesn't have scope, but I can use my Verus or Vantage for that.
Big brother making it better gotta love it. Great information!
Abs light on 94 taurus sho atx. Car stops great. Changed all 4 wheel sensors, abs light still on. What scan tool do i need to read abs codes on this obd1??
would love too see that on a new vehicle and rate its performance
great video... what made you go with the encore instead of the autel or the evolve?
great video Brian.
what OBD tool would you recommend for OBD-II and Windows 10 software on a laptop via bluetooth?
Can either of these read ABS codes on OBD1 cars ? Ford-Lincoln- Mercury
Does the 3211 have the ability to do a pop test on a 1995 7.3 powerstroke and will it tell me which injector is failing or will it just say injector failure
I have a 2010 Lincoln MKZ with an orange wrench. The car feels it reduces speed at time to include some hard braking. What could be the problem? I have not check for codes.
Is there a way I could get a hold of you and possibly send you a video of the noise my 2007 expedition is making, nobody can figure it out, I feel like you would be able to point me in the direction. I will also send you a donation for your response. Thanks
THANK YOU! Very much for this video. I didn't know they made a more modern tool for the older OBD-I/EEC-IV vehicles.
It sure beats the Paper Clip/Engine Light count method. The best I've been able to get on my '92 Bronco was to use the Innova 3145 to get the codes read easier.
Any Chance you could talk about using the old Break Out Boxes for these Pre-OBD-II vehicles?
Nice job. Thanks!
i just got the otc 3210 since i didnt need obd 1 .and it is updateable. its advertiseda s obd11 airbag and abs. however i cant read a 2008 hhr airbag.the menus can be goofy.somethings arent where you would think they would be. after watching this maybe i should nave picked up the 3211. the 3211 was cheaper on a couple of sights
one thing i wish is that they would publish a menu tree
just off the phone with otc 2008 hhr airbag is NOT supported :(
+richard cranium if I never work on an HHR it will be too soon
+richard cranium if I never work on an HHR it will be too soon
What scan tool do you use for OBD2?
What scanner/ laptop do you use?
hi how much is for the encore??
you should use that on an eec 3 system. I remember those and 2 digit codes from eec 4
the 3211 looks like the actron cp9690
+richard cranium yes all the brands fall under the Bosch umbrella.
ITS A RE BRAND SAME SCANNER JUST A DIFFERENT COLOR
why aren't you using ids?
+C-moe 117 IDS on OBD I?
NGS or New Generation Star tester if my memory serves for that old gal was the factory tool. I may stand corrected there by an old time tech.
Wiggle test?
+Joel 1 yes it is a special test where the pcm will monitor and report circuit dtc's during the self test.
Joel 1 It checks for bad wiring and loose connections. If the tone sounds, check codes. Twist wiring and see if the tone goes off. If you don't hear a tone, everything is o.k.
