Great Product
This product works great. Easy to understand and use. A must have for the do-it -your-selfer. It will save you time and money the first time you use it in stead of going to the dealership at a cost of $150. just to hook it up.

Wow
This is an AWESOME product.
Got an ABS light on the wife's mini-van. It went off, but I was concerned. I brought it to my local mechanic and he said he couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle.
So plugged this unit in, and got the code. I was able to check the code at their website, and was able to double check the code against sources (always do this with an aftermarket scanner). The problem was that the sensor on the left front wheel was not delivering a signal.
The website literature included in the package is amazing. It basically turns you into a dealer service station, giving you all repair info on your vehicle, recall history, and keeping track of routine maintenance. It will even tell you common repairs for most codes.
Simply an AMAZNG product, all the way around.
AND, it comes in a great case, with great support materials and software.
Absolutely buy this scanner with confidence. Great product.

Traded up from Equus 3100 to 3150
Got my 3100 a while back, and it pretty much paid for itself every time I used it. I was able to repair some inexpensive sensors, and not be at the mercy of the auto dealer or independent mechanics (who seem to be as expensive as the dealers anymore). When I started having ABS problems, the 3100 could not read ABS codes. So I sold it to my brother and upgraded to the 3150. He has only foreign cars, so there is no inexpensive code reader (as far as I have been able to figure out) that could read his ABS.
I'm also really happy with the 3150. Reads and clears ABS codes on many GM, Ford, and Chrysler cars. I have a 2002 Chevy and a 1997 Ford, and it will work on both. Be sure to check the list at the manufacturer's web site for your specific vehicle before purchasing. 3150 has already paid for itself also. Dealer wants $99 just to read a code. And if you know what the problem is up front, you can fix yourself, take to the most cost effective repair place, or at least negotiate over the phone before leaving your car for repair. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for DIY's with decent knowledge of automobile mechanics.

Great unit to isolate problems before you go to the shop
Really nice unit that has paid for itself in 3 uses. I was able to confirm/determine the trouble on a 2003 Ford Taurus, a 1998 Ford Ranger and a 2001 Honda Civic. The unit is easy to use with a very comprehensive manual and updates are easy. If you don't do your own work or you can't because you need special tools or whatever, this unit will put you right on the trouble so you can tell the Service Writer at the dealer exactly what is wrong rather than saying, "it makes a funny noise..." Be advised, this unit will reads codes in a way that displays the most serious code first. Don't go out and buy a bunch of parts based on 1 trouble code. Do your homework and make sure there are no other codes that would cause a fault in another area. You need more than just a casual knowledge of fault isolation and trouble shooting when using this unit or you can be led astray. It is a good reliable unit when used properly on the vehicle it supports. Shipping was super fast and the price was great. Tech support actually exist...I called them about a software update and got good support from a tech in the USA. 5 stars all around.
