Is your car's check engine light on? If it is, your car is trying to tell you something and the Actron CP9135 OBD II AutoScanner speaks its language. Use this scanner to unlock the information stored in your car's computer. The scanner is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present. 
The Actron CP9135 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View details. | 
Read and erase trouble codes with "hot keys." | 
Turn off that distracting "check engine" light. | In addition, the CP9135 is fully updateable, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the trouble code and its definition. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive. The CP9135 is simple and easy to use. The attached OBD II 16-pin connector cable provides both data and power connections, while the eight-foot cable and rugged housing are both oil- and grease-resistant for added durability. Once the scanner is connected, the extremely user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. Use the Monitor Status and I/M Readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. The I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards. Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test--even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms. The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with the simple "hot keys" used to read and erase DTCs, make the CP9135 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.

I'm glad I read the reviews
»
I had thought about buying the least expensive OBD II on Amazon. I bought it for my daughter's 1995 Volvo 850 GLT. It has an onboard computer system that will show you the codes. It is very difficult to turn the Check Engine Light off. I replaced the heated O2 sensor and just wanted to turn the Check Engine Light off. A reviewer had said how easy this model was to use and read. I am glad I sent the extra money. It was "easy" to read and to use. Thanks for putting those reviews on Amazon.
Yours truly,A Happy Customer

Will easily pay itself off.

I have two cars and between the two of them I will have at least one check engine light yearly. The codes were simple to read and understand, and even easier to clear the codes. Being a novice mechanic, the diagnostic codes in this device will serve me well. What it doesn't have will probably mean I should take it to the mechanic anyway.
It's a good tool to have in a tool kit, plus is relatively inexpensive.
I could not get the CD to work however. But it appears to be not completely necessary.

A good scanner for general diagnostics.
»
I purchased this to use in attempting to diagnose check engine light problems I have and it did well as a code reader and eraser however if true diagnostics are needed and live information I recommend upgrading to the one that has all of that available.
I will be upgrading soon, however no regrets with this one, it did all I needed, gave the code and general cause. erases codes easy too which in some cases might solve the problem or at least allow you to rescan it immediately after the first time the light comes on again so you can home in on the original cause of the problem at hand as other codes will set behind it after a short time, a sort of chain reaction of the first and its affect on the engine fuel and ignitions system.

A good tool for $89
»
I purchased this Acton scanner 2 years ago when our older vehicle was repeatedly showing its MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). I was able to clear the code immediately. When the MIL illuminated again later, I was able to track down the problem (O2 sensor heater trouble)and correct it by reseating the connector. Later, I used the scanner to diagnose which cylinder was misfiring. By tapping on that cylinder's fuel injector, I was able to correct the misfiring. Again, the Acton cleared the MIL display.
My mechanic uses a more sophisticated (and much more expensive) OBD scanner in his day to day work, but for someone who does occasional maintenance on his own car, this tool is worth the $89 investment. If you paid more, you paid too much.
