A car code reader is a must have item in your tool kit if you’re going to do any automotive work. The Equus 3030 is an excellent low to mid-range OBDII car code reader. I purchased this item for about $60 and I’ve used it to pull codes from Fords, GMs, and Saabs. The process is simple and straight-forward as outlined in the instruction booklet. It comes with a CD for Windows PCs. Mac users can use Bootcamp or some other emulator if they desire to peruse the CD. I myself didn’t find the CD that useful. While the instruction booklet has explanations of the car codes, I’ve found the best practice is to google the code(s) and you’ll get a wealth of info as to meanings, causes, and how to fix the problem. Generally someone else has had the same problem and has posted a pretty good fix that can save you time and quite a bit of money.

I bought this tool because I have a 2002 dodge stratus that has some electrical problems and the check engine light is always coming on. Since it costs about 60 dollars at the dealer just to reset the check engine light this tool has already paid for itself since I have reset the light 5 times since I bought it. It is also very easy to use and the codes are detailed enough even for the weekend mechanic. This tool has also helped me identify 2 problems with my car that i was able to repair immedietly. This really was a good buy.

I purchased this car code reader recently to find out why my check engine light was on in my Ford F-150. It was many dollars cheaper than taking my truck to the dealer and having the car codes read. The nice advantage of this tool is that it can read CAN and OBDII systems for foreign and US domestic vehicles.

The Equus 3030 Innova Car Diagnostic Code Reader for OBDII was a great buy and saved me a lot of money and time. I was able to replace the O2 sensor quick and easy. No guess work with this item.
