Is your car's check engine light on? If it is, your car is trying to tell you something and the Actron CP9145 Super AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner speaks its language. Use this scanner to unlock the information stored in your car's computer. Whenever your check engine light is on, the device can pinpoint the problem so you can fix it fast and be on your way.

The Actron CP9145 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View details.

The user interface is designed for ease of use and quick control of scanning functions.

Turn off that distracting "check engine" light.

The scanner allows you to easily retrieve, read, and erase OBD II trouble codes, as well as display and read live vehicle data for a faster diagnosis. With optional cables, you can also retrieve OBD I codes and live data for 1984-95 Ford and GM models, and 1989-95 Chrysler models. This sophisticated, yet extremely user-friendly tool includes the CP9145 base unit and can be used on OBD II compliant cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. from 1996 to present. Plus, the tool is fully upgradeable, accommodating future vehicles.

The CP9145 is built tough for both shop and road test use. It also features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their definitions. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive. The scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap, including live engine data parameters (PIDs). Built-in help screens help you interpret the data, and you can view freeze frame data, which provides a "snapshot" of the vehicle's operating conditions at the time of the fault. Meanwhile, an internal 9-volt battery stores the latest test results for later review.

Use the Monitor Status and I/M readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance with a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards.

Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test--even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms.

The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems.

The scanner comes with CD software that contains 5,000 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their descriptions.

Summary: Amazon title for this product is wrong.
Comment: I am pleased with this CP9145, however please note that it does ***not*** have Record and Playback Data Capability. The amazon web page title for this product says it does have that capability. The manufacturer says it does not, and it is not described at all in the user manual. The other features of this product work well. I would have easily given it 5-stars if the title wasn't misleading as to a material feature. I have asked amazon to correct this for the CP9145, and for other models that also have the incorrect info in the title. Note that the CP9145 has live data reading, it's doesn't have the Record and Playback Data Capability.

Summary: Great tool!
Comment: I purchased this unit specifically to use with my '94 Corvette, which has an in-between on-board-diagnostics setup. This year Corvette has some OBDI and some OBDII functionality and has an OBDII connector. The Actron works perfectly with the Corvette. I also tried it on my Toyota Highlander and it worked just peachy for that as well. The unit appears to be well built and solid. I'm really pleased that I purchased it.

Summary: This thing works, period!!!!
Comment: I am not a handy person and do not like to read through the manual. I even called the help line after I received the product and read the manual a couple of times (even though I do not like it). I never repair my car myself and do not plan to do it. However, I would like to know what is wrong with my car when the check engine light is on before I take it to the dealership. I just want to be safe by not ignoring serious problems.

This thing works perfectly. The most difficult part of using this tool is to bend down and hook it up (no need to use any other tools). The rest will take about 2 minutes. So far (since Friday), I have canceled 3 lights (98 nissan, 02 VW Golf - twice, 01 Toyota Corrola with a rebuilt 02 engine). None of those car have serious problems.

Summary: Cheesey Case
Comment: The CP9145 is an excellent tool. It has all the features us home mechanics need. The only bad thing is the case they give you offers no protection at all for the unit also there is barely enough room to store the cables. They don't even give an AC or DC Adapter which I think is just plain cheap.
