I kind of blew through my vehicle emergency fund. I'd absolutely love to have one after listening to all the different times you use them👍

      @@DumbledoreMcCracken yeah it's amazing what kind of information you can bring up, with a cheap $10 ODB2 bluetooth module and a $5 app on your android phone. Even on my 2005 car I can bring up so much diagnostics stuff, so I'm not driving around blind to a fault with my engine. Saved me a big diagnostics bill on a bad o2 sensor, I merely had to buy a new one, code solved.
      Why do modern cars keep all this information hidden? there should be a button you can press for diags and you have all of this by default.
      The reason of course is to a) stop customers coming back in the warranty period for a fault with their engine they wouldn't otherwise have noticed
      b) to get cars to fail outside of warranty so they get more money in parts and new car sales
      Total scam

    Scan tools are worth their weight in gold. My heart goes out to single women who get a check engine light before they need to get their car smog checked and are forced to go to a mechanic. My wife's 2002 Sienna since we bought it in 2017 has every year shown cat converter error codes, and usually before smog check time. A few days before smog check time I use Sea Foam fuel system cleaner in the tank and the spray version in the throttle body. My logic for this is carbon has built up on the cat converter so I cleaned it off. This fix has worked every year for the past three years including less than a week ago. After applying the Sea Foam treatment regimen I've cleared the codes with the scan tool then check the IM readiness. After the cat converter passes the van's computer cat converter test I get the car smog checked successfully. The $35 scan tool I bought off Ebay 4 years ago is well made and has literally saved us a couple thousand dollars in repairs.

    Scotty, I've never owned an OBD scanner before and only recently watched one of your video's where you were using an INNOVA 5160RS. So, I began thinking if this guy uses one of these, why not. It's been a Godsend helping me fix my daughters '03 Jaguar X-Type. I know there's better out there, but I'm gonna tell ya that if a guy like me can fix a Jag with all the problems this one had then it was fantastic info. You're the Best.
