Actron CP9175 Review

I purchased this to check my vehicle after the check engine lite came on. I'm not an mechanic, but I do like to make repairs on my vehicle if I can. Once I received the device, I installed a 9 volt battety, plugged the device in and in less than 5 minutes, I was done. The device scanned the vehicle and determined cylinder 5 was misfiring. I changed my plugs and wires, did a check with the device again and no other issue were found. I would recommend this product to anyone willing to save money on vehicle repairs, is somewhat handy with tools, is an individual with basic knowledge of vehicle repairs, or a seasoned mechanic...

Actron CP9175 Excellent product

I have an '03 Dodge Ram that I bought pre-owned. The check engine light suddenly came on and my gas mileage started dropping. I bought the Actron Auto Scanner and promptly got the error code. After doing some research on a Dodge Ram Q&A forum, I replaced my gas cap and cleared the error code with the scanner. Gas mileage and performance promptly came back to a new level!

Actron CP9175 Very satisfied

This code scanner works well on my 2006 Ford Taurus. It picked up some engine misfire codes and was extremely easy to set up. I'm very satisfied with this product. Overall quality is higher than what I expected.

Actron CP9175 well worth it,

the Actron CP9175 is well worth the money. Here's my story - I have a 1998 F150 and my check engine light kept coming on. My brother has an auto scanner from Sears, an Innova which is ok but they say if you have to borrow somthing more than 3 times you should have one of your own. I payed $80.00 on Amazon. What a deal! I plugged it in to my Ford and it automatically found the problem. Now this is where people get discouraged. It gave a 0442 code-small leak in Evapor-so I went to my computor and typed in that code. Up popped a web site called OBD#2 trouble code site. Awesome! A Free trouble code site that tells you from the most common problems to the least common problems with lengthy/detailed explanations. Turned out to be my gas cap rubber gasket so I just wiped it down and that fixed it.

I do recommend this product. It's the best auto scanner on the market in this price range.

Actron CP9175 will pay for itself

I've owned this unit for 2 years now and I've used it dozens of times on my own vehicles and neighbors vehicles. This tool will pay for itself in one or two uses. It is internet updatable, howoever there has not yet been an update in the 2 years I've owned it. There should be soon. I think their waiting for the CAN information to be released as this tool will read CAN codes also. All vehicles will in the U.S. will be required to use CAN by the end of 2008. You must get the CP9137 update cable also to update the tool via internet.
