Autel MaxiScan MS409 Code Reader I like it.
I have only played with this thing a couple of times on my Expedition and on My Honda CRV.
Man that took some research to find the plug in module on the Honda. Its actually accessible from the passenger side, just right of the vehicle center line.
Any way, I have no Check Engine Lights on at this time (a good thing).
But this scanner seems fairly intuitive to use. It will also show you codes for pending problems that maybe don't yet warrant the system to turn on the CEL.
The codes are right there in the scanner, with a description so you don't have to look them up in a manual. You can also find the codes on the internet at several different web sites.
Works great! Used this tool daily fvdi at work for 2 years. The cable shorts out and it gets really finicky about communicating, but it's a relatively cheap part. Same cable as our Snap On Modis. . . I think it's an old school computer monitor cable, at least pin setup wise. Other than the cable, the lack of onboard battery is a bummer. . . but livable. For the price it's the best tool I've used. Better than the Genisys by far. Early 2000s KIA and Subaru cars sometimes don't like the OBD II connector. . . It's the connector in the car, they're cheap. Other than that, it's great. Reasonable Euro coverage as well as good Asian and US support. BTW update by putting the card into your computer, autel maxidas ds708 forum the tool's processor is much too slow. . . like days slow. Your computer will update them all in like an hour.
