Actron CP9185 Elite AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner is designed to read, record, and review LIVE engine data. It reads as well as erases generic and manufacturer specific DTCs and definitions. This scanner is compatible with all vehicles and is upgradeable to domestic OBD I vehicle coverage. It displays graphing data on screen and is updateable online.
I used an Auto Xray for pre 96 vehicles. The latest AutoXRay Actron scanners are very similar, but after calling the company and research, I decided to go with the Actron because 1) Actron provided with a hook to connect the computer’s USB (AX needs an adapter for serial cable) 2) you like the graph features 3) Better instructions 4) More info in the scanner for codes. Since I already had a scanner capable of old vehicles, I went with the 9185 to save a bit ‘of money off of 9190. The scanner has proven to be simple to use, but can be dangerous if you are looking for real-time data while driving. A good scanner for the money.
Purchased the CP9185 AutoScanner. Pluged my Tacoma in 2001 and read the codes. He looked up what it takes to fix the codes. He then reread the codes and they were gone. Excellent tool to know what happens with your vehicle. It gives you the chance to fix things yourself, saving you a lot of money. Have had scanner real long and do not know how to use all the features yet, but I would recommend it to those who want to know what their codes are. It ‘was very easy to use. You must have a computer so that you can print the manual.
