Here on eBay

Is this the answer to some peoples prayers?

Yes, but not for that Price !!!!!!

Go to Jaycar and get one for 119.00 Dollars.

The Unit for the BA must be CAN . !!!!!!! Very important !!!!

THIS SCANNER ALLOWS YOU TO SEE WHERE & WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND TURN OFF THE LIGHT.

Oh that's a big selling point....

Scanners like those normally only read some P codes, not the complete list of codes our cars can produce

ah well

I tried my best dags

eBay.. so full of useless crap!

I can't find it in the Jaycar catalogue.

What is the catelogue number?

Yep, its fine to use. The one in the ebay link in the first post is an Autel GS400. The difference between the two, is that the GS400 has a comprehensive LCD readout telling you what its doing, and what its found (or not found), whereas with the GS300 you have to look codes up in a booklet, or on the CD. Both support CAN.

Here's the GS300 for $100 from the same dude:

Autel GS300 from the same dude

I've used a GS400 on my car, my brothers BF GT, and the folks BFII Fairmont Ghia. It connected to, and read the computers in all three no probs. As stated however, I highly doubt it can read the FoMoCo specific codes. Most likely only reads the generic OBDII P codes. Even so, a tool that only reads the 'generic' codes is better than nothing.

Re, As stated however, I highly doubt it can read the FoMoCo specific codes. Most likely only reads the generic OBDII P codes.

I keep one of the units in my car just in case. - Genis CAN GS 300 -

It will " Support multiple trouble codes requests: generic codes, pending codes and manufacturer's specific codes."

There are a number of OBD2 Code sites on the Internet to get all the information re Codes.

I also got a unit that will read " some " live data.

Hope this helps.

What are the site addresses? What is the make/model of the scan tool, and what data does it read?
