OTC Tools 3208 OBD II & ABS Scan Tool with Enhanced Engine and Transmission Codes, Blue

Better than expected!! Works on our 2010 Silverado, 2008 Impala, and even on a 1995 Blazer. On the two newer vehicles it shows a TON of live engine data and was able to pull and erase the ABS codes. The Blazer also showed live data, just not as much, and it could not read the ABS. For ABS it has you select the vehicle and it only listed Ford for 1995 Trucks. My understanding is 95-96 is when GM switched to OBD2 so we got lucky on the engine codes, just not ABS.The manual lists 5 pages of live data it can display depending on the vehicle. This includes voltages at certain sensors, engine load and RPM, fuel trims, temperatures of fluids and intake air. Great data for troubleshooting engine problems that might not trip a trouble code.Not sure why but both Autozone and Tires Plus were unable to pull codes on the Blazer. This reader immediately found an O2 sensor code and through the live engine data we were able to diagnose the engine problems.My only complaint is that the text on screen is small and there is no backlighting so it can be difficult to read. But in decent lighting it's not a problem.

My father had this same tool and swore by it. I found it online for 1/5 the price he bought his for and it’s the same model. I’m very happy that I now have a code reader of my own and something that I know my dad uses and swears by. Highly recommend.Also I did try to take my vehicle to a local auto parts chain store that does code reading for you for free. Their reader did not clear the codes nor read as much info as this one does. A+ product.

I was skeptical about buying but I needed something that read abs on 2008 gmc sierra 1500. Had traction control light stablitrack and abs light on and would not go off but was not causing drive issues. I searched internet about issues and gave a lot of scenarios so didn't want to throw money away so ordered this tool even though some review said it did not read abs codes. I got it hooked up and answered questions as they came up.. Next it found my abs code which it said brake switch bad. Kind of confusing cause brakes worked. I went to dealership bought new switch for 25 dollars took 15 minutes to install and solve all the issues. Thankful I bought it

Great and despite what you read, it can read codes and doesn't require any pesky setup or internet connection.

This is what everyone needs in their garage. This specifically lists what the current problem is and any past problems which may have corrected themselves. It does read the regular OBD codes as well as the ABS. For the price of $26.⁰⁰ it is worth the 5-7 day wait for shipping. I wish this would have been made available to me years ago.

This scanner only reads ABS up to 2013. The description said 1996 and newer, but 2103 is far from current. I don't understand, must be a way to get people to buy the expensive ones? Returned.

Didn't realize when I ordered it that it's database only cover up to 2013 vehicles and as far as I can find is not able to update for newer vehicles

Otc is a good brand garages use it. Dont want to go to the obd 11 for a few more dollars and have to do updates. Half of them on updates get worse or dont work. This will do it all as far as resetting tranny codes haven't seen one that will reset in the upper cheaper models. A snapon for about 5000 dollars that's the big hand held does it all. New vehicles are total junk on tranny change. Get a snapon or pay a dealer 250 to reset .while your at it get a scanner to and a friend to drive around with so you can read the scanner while he drives. All new trannies have to be driven to reprogram shift points. Must be done right most dealer mechanics need to go back to school. Not 3000 miles and tranny is back to normal. It a quick process not a forever one. 6 speeds are junk get a real good tranny rebuilder. A junk yard tranny stay away buy a new suv or go back to old school antique cars. Once the the tranny is reprogrammed and shifts are hard your tranny needs a rebuild. Sensors will stop it from shifting. 3 sensors to a 6 speed. What ever ones are not working any two gears that dont shift. A snapon will do it read the input to the output sensors and shaft sensor and a real code will pop. Motor this is all you need to change parts to the codes your showing and reset computer light and your good to go. Google the code change your part reset and drive you should be good this is all you need.
