Code scanner February 22, 2010
C. D. Ketchen
Complete package with nice case to keep up with it all. There are many useful features including realtime monitoring and freeze frame. The ability to download to your computer is a plus. One the negative side, it does not provide full diagnostic funtionality even though my truck is 11 years old.
Awesome tool for a great price. October 20, 2009

I read through some of the reviews on this product and one in particular mentioned you could get the same information for six bucks.
That's true, for 6 dollars you can jumper two connections on an ODB I car (95 or older). The early ODB system could tell you what code was being thrown but very little else. Can you jumper two connections and get the same information with an ODB II car? No. You cannot do meter sweeps on a ODB II car, to read the trouble code, you need a scan tool.
This tool can read trouble codes and do a lot more. I purchased this tool because I've been having on and off misfire problems on a 1997 Camaro. I didn't know which cylinder was misfiring and honestly, if the check engine light wasn't on, I wouldn't have even noticed a problem. I hooked the scan tool up to the car, and the trouble code was P0300 - Random misfire.
To the average person, a random misfire means just that, every cylinder is intermittently misfiring. Yes, if this were an ODB I car, a jumper would have told me that much information. Smart troubleshooting would have you test the ignition coils or the fuel system. If the misfire is not contained on a specific cylinder, then it may indicate a system wide issue.
This is where the scan tool paid for itself. Instead of throwing parts at the car I was able to look at the vehicle data, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of data I had access to. I could see the misfire counts for each cylinder. Every cylinder had less than 10, except cylinder 5 which had over 5000 misfires. I traced the problem back to a bad spark pug wire on #5 that had be rubbing against the headers I had just installed.
The trouble code was misleading, and instead of spending my time under and over the car looking at the fuel system and ignition system, I spent 5 minutes diagnosing the problem.
I have a background in automotive diagnosis and have a degree in Automotive Service Technology. The scan tools we used in school cost over $1000 and were manufacturer specific. This tool doesn't give you as much information as those did, but for the average DIY mechanic, this tool is perfect. If you're looking for a tool to just scan a code, and nothing else... buy something cheaper.
If you're looking for a scan tool that can assist you in diagnosing and fixing emission related problems, this is the scan tool for you. You may not use it every day of your life, but when you do need it, it will get the job done.

so far it works for most cars in obd2 only. i got all the cables for obd and obd2 but the thing is it wont work for most fords in obd and freezes on most gm's in obd. works fine for obd2 but here is another disapointment... this thing is SLOW. i have an old actron scantool for gm obd and it refreshes 4 times a second. this 6000 refreshes 1 time every 2-3 seconds. it costs more than the newest actron and you are left with the feeling you got ripped.

i took my car to a garage for a tuneup they wanted $500.00 plus parts & labor the $500.00 was for them to hook up a scanner to the diagnostic plug. i paid $285 for my autoxray 6000 and found out i needed a radiator cap got one at wal-mart $18.99.checked a friends car had a bad tranny sensor,can't charge a friend.
