Actron CP9175 Code Scanner

This Code Scanner will save money by checking the cause of the engine light comming on yourself. In my area a vist to a dealer or garage is a mininum $50.00 per trip, just to find out what the problem is.

Actron CP9175 Scanner

I've used this scanner only three times on three different vehicles and found the problems quickly.This unit paid for itself quickly,and is very easy to understand and use.

Actron CP9175 Great buy at Amazon!!!

I orginally bought this at an auto parts store and realized that evening (after getting home and doing some online reasearch)that I could buy it on amazon.com for almost half the cost that I payed at the auto parts store. So needless to say, I returned the one that I purchaced at the auto parts store and bought from amazon.com. It's a great investment! Saves from having to go the the dealership to have them run a computer on a vehicle.

Actron CP9175 WOW!

Can not beat the features at this price level. Other stores are selling for much more-thanx AMAZON. Use this scanner one time,do the work yourself,the tool is free!!

Actron CP9175 Excellent scanner, does the job!

I have owned this scanner for about a year. Recently my girlfriends 1999 Dodge Ram truck check engine light came on. Plugged it in and whamo, 2 fault codes came up. After a simple Google search, found the errors and bought the correct parts online. I called an autoparts store and they wanted $80 for a speed sensor which I bought online for $37. Also saved big on an oxygen sensor as well. Had a local shop install them for under $50. This paid for the scanner in one use. Have used it on multiple cars with no problem. One thing though, don't buy the internet update cable. They have not come out with an update in over TWO years!!

Actron CP9175 Scanner - performs as advertized

The CP9175 is not a substitue for a VAG programming tool, but it will perform all advertised fucntions efortless, and competienty. It scans, displays DTC codes, translates them and erases them as promised. Use it once at it pays for itself. Highly recommended as an adition to any enthusiasts tool box.

Actron CP9175 NEVER GUESS WHAT'S WRONG WITh YOUR CAR AGAIN!

I just bought a used Volkswagen Rialta and the check engine light came on while I was on my first trip. I guess this is really common for this vehicle. My local VW dealer wouldn't work on this vehicle. I actually couldn't find anyplace that would even look at for awhile. When I did find one place, I left it for a week and they didn't look at it. I took my vehicle back and still didn't know what was wrong with it - nobody would read the code.

So - I bought this device.

And I LOVE IT!

I read my own code with ease and I know nothing about cars. Right at the base of the steering wheel, there was a place to connect this in. The instructions were good and the device was easy to use. It told me what happened - which was - my transmission slipped while going 38 miles per hour. It tells you the engine temp at the time it slipped. The code itself doesn't really tell you enough but you can search the internet for more details. It is so awesome to be able to know what's wrong with your car before you take it in to the dealer.

Anyway - I finally located a reliable place to work on my vehicle and I'm getting it fixed, but my luck with Volkswagen's and Volkswagen dealerships has been VERY poor so I'm going to carry this with me everywhere I go!

Actron CP9175 Needed Toolbox Item

I spent half of my life as a Ford Electronic Engine Control Specialist working on computer controlled vehicles and their sensors. I own a new GMC Sierra 1500 New Body Style pickup truck now, and with only a few thousand miles on it, the check engine light came on this morning. Since I have remote start as well on my truck, the computer is now preventing the remote starter from operating sensing that the vehicle has a problem. The truck runs great, but obviously the check engine light needs to be reset. The new GM vehicles will not allow you to use a combination of buttons to reset the trouble lights now, and within 3 minutes of using this code reader tonight, I have now reset my computer and cancelled the check engine light. GM vehicles are famous for having this light come on even when you may have switched brands of gas, or you have not tightened your gas cap enough. What is nice about this code reader is that it has the codes built into it, a library so to speak, and it will put into very easy to read words what systems are showing problems. If anyone had brought this vehicle into me for diagnosis only, it would have cost you around $85.00 for one hour minimum charge. Shops must charge a minimum one hour for things like this, however it may only take them 5 minutes to reset it. Which way do you want to go?

Actron CP9175 S-t-r-e-t-c-h that Dollar!

Are you like me and want to save money by fixing things yourself? This baby is awsome! Not only did I get it for under $100, but I have had it for less than a month and it has almost paid for itself. Yes, literally paid for itself. I fixed my car with this tool, then my friend told me he would give me $20 to tell him what was wrong with his car, so I did. Then another friend did the same. Of course I didn't take their money, but that just shows that I could have already made half of my money back. This is an awsome tool and a MUST HAVE!!!

Actron CP9175 Been said before

Not to sound like a copycat, but it does what its supposed to do. Read codes, erase codes, run low-level diagnostics. You probably can't run a repair shop with it, but it certainly will add a level to your shadetree shop.

Actron CP9175 Happy with product

the scanner has and did everything that the the web site said it would do and is at or above my expectations!

Actron CP9175 Works as advertised, already saved the purchase price

VIP wanted 133.99 for this unit. I had time so I purchased it here with super saver shipping. Took 4 business days to get it. (FAST)

Successfully determined the cause of the check engine light on my daughter's 2003 Corolla thereby saving the $90.00 charged by Toyota to hook up and retrieve codes. Voila! Paid for!
It's nice to be able to know with certainty what system is malfunctioning.
Look up the code online and now you've got enough info to begin zeroing in on the failing components for test or replacement.
The CP9175 also operated perfectly on my 99 Buick Regal and my wife's 2004 Honda Accord.
Now a "CHECK ENGINE" light doesn't necessarily mean a big bill.
I save money next time I need to use it!

Actron CP9175 OBDII AutoScanner

I've used this Actron CP9175 AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner with Freeze Frame Data for OBDII (Post-1996) Vehicles, on a 2001 Lincoln towncar and a 1999 BMW Z3. In both cases, the device performed flawlessly, and I'm very pleased with the ease of use.

Actron CP9175 Great product

The CP9175 worked great. We have a Subaru Baja and the reviews said it might not work on the Suby...WRONG! I was able to analyze the problem, and along with buying a manual for my 2003 Baja was able to locate and fix the problem, at a fraction of what a Dealer would have charged. This CP9175 has already paid for itself. I've also used it on friends vehicles (Ford Crown Vic, Nissan Quest) and it has read them all. GREAT product.

Actron CP9175 Well worth the money,

My daughters engine light came on in her 2002 Camry. She took it to the Toyota dealer and they said the catalytic conver was bad. The repair would cost $1100.
I purchased the Actron code scanner to verify what the dealer was telling her. The error code indicated her catalytic converter was below the operating threshold. I orderd a catalytic conver from the internet and replaced it in just over an hour. I reset the engine light with the CP9175 and she was back in business.
Not long ago the engine light came on in my 1998 Camry, I took it to the dealer and was charged $590 to replace the oxygen sensor. If I had known what was wrong I could have ordered the part from the Internet for $120 and and it would have taken all of 15 mins to replace.
Make sure the code scanner you buy will reset the engine light (this model will). The error code read out by the CP9175 is very basic, but that's all that is needed. It will let you know what sensor/area is causing the engine light.
