If the car is trying to tell you something and the Actron CP9150 Super AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner Kit speaks its language. Use this scanner to unlock the information stored in the computer of your car. Whenever your check engine light is on, the device can identify the problem so you can adjust quickly and be on your way. This scanner includes a rugged transport and all the cables needed to accelerate from a simple code scanner to a sophisticated analysis tool at an affordable price.
The Super AutoScanner Kit allows you to easily retrieve, read, and erase OBD I and OBD II trouble codes, as well as display and read live vehicle data for a faster diagnosis. This sophisticated, yet extremely user-friendly tool includes the CP9145 base unit and can be used on OBD II compliant cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. from 1996 to present. The CP9150 kit includes additional cables to retrieve codes and live data for 1984-95 Ford and GM models, and 1989-95 Chrysler models. Plus, the tool is fully upgradeable, accommodating future vehicles.
The CP9145 base unit is built tough for both shop and road test use. It also features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their definitions. 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 scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap, including live engine data parameters (PIDs). Built-in help screens help you interpret the data, and you can view freeze frame data, which provides a “snapshot” of the vehicle’s operating conditions at the time of the fault. Meanwhile, an internal 9-volt battery stores the latest test results for later review.
Use the Monitor Status and I/M readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance with 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.
