Product Review - Launch CReader OBDII Scanner I recently picked up another 4th gen F-body, and it had a check engine SES light shown. I figured it was time to upgrade to a nicer OBD2 scanner, since my old one was several years old and only gave out the PO error codes. I still had to look them up with my service manual once I had the code.
I found this Launch C-Reader OBD2 scanner on Amazon, and noticed that is also has ABS brake code reading capabilities. One of the least expensive units on the market with that capability, also. Has a nice color screen with good resolution, and all of the codes are shown in full text form. I ordered it on Amazon here:
Here is how the kit looked, scanner had a nice quality feel to it.
Boooo SES light.
Easy to use menu.
Code was related to the crank position sensor. It was intermittent.
Easy to clear that!
This scanner also has a lot of real-time monitoring data, would be useful for tuning.
Overall, it had a lot of features for the small price. It makes a nice addition to any toolbox, as it works on all of my vehicles.
