 Excellent Product June 7, 2008
William R. Brown
Even though this is a discontinued item, it still has all the needed features at an extremely affordable price. Easy to read LCD and setup instructions. I tried it on a 1998 Audi, a 2000 Ford Ranger, and 2002 Honda Accord and it functioned flawlessly on all 3 auto's.

I bought the Actron CP9135 AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner with On Screen Definitions for OBDII (Post-1996) Vehicles because the cost of paying a mechanic to use his scanner to identify a simple problem and then paying full price for parts and labor got to be pretty annoying. Shortly after the AutoScanner arrived the Check Engine light in my 2003 VW Jetta TDI came on and I sprang into action. Operation of the device turned out to be pretty intuitive and in short order I knew that one of my glow plugs had stopped working. I ordered the parts online and in a few days I had replaced all four, operating on the premise that when one was gone the rest couldn't be far behind. Bottom line: savings on the the first use more than paid for the AutoScanner.

I purchased this scanner when, within a week three of the cars in our family had the Check Engine light illuminate. Since the light was intermittent in all three cars I wanted to find out what the problem was (or at least narrow it down) before taking them into the dealers. Intermittent problems are a nightmare for repair techs since they can't always duplicate the problem.
The scanner does exactly what it says it will do. I've now used it on a Subaru, a Volkswagen and a Miata and it worked fine on all of them. It gives the trouble code reported by the computer which turns on the MIL. It also gives a text explanation of the code and if the code is manufacturer specific it tells you that as well.
I'd recommend this scanner to anyone interested in discovering the reason their check engine light comes on.

If you're like me, you hate paying 70 bucks just for your mechanic to run a diagnostic on your vehicle. I say that you're better off using your money and picking up one of these things. Sure, you'll probably still have to take your vehicle to the mechanic after you find out what's wrong when you use this unit, but at least you'll know what's wrong. Heck, what if it's something that you can fix yourself? Either way, this unit is great. Buy one.
