Actron CP9125 A great solution to one of life’s annoyances

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

The “check engine” light should never be ignored (especially if it’s the first time you’ve seen it on your car), but if you’re one of those unlucky folks (like me) who’s car repeatedly turns it on for a non-severe reason, this is a great little gadget. You just connect it to the plug under the dash, press a couple of buttons, and in a few seconds the stupid light goes off. Doesn’t even need batteries! It shows a code which you can then look up (using the included manual) to find out what caused the problem.

Actron CP9125 STRAIGHT UP AWESOME

I can’t stand the concept of paying $100 just to have someone hook up a little cable underneath my dash to clear out a light. We’ve all had that conversation… “Oh wow, you fixed it already? You just needed to erase the code, huh? Wait, how much? You’re kidding. I saw what you did, I was standing right here the whole time, it took 10 minutes.” THAT COSTS $100?!?!?! This badboy will pay for itself the first time your check engine light comes on. I’ve used it 4 times on 4 different vehicles to crank out codes. It’s worked on both my Nissans, my mom’s Toyota, and my sister’s Volkswagen. No doubt in my mind it will work with every vehicle. It’s easy to use and fits in your coat pocket. It clears the trouble codes and turns off that worthless, annoying check engine light. When I had a code that didn’t go away, I checked what code it was (in the included fault code manual), then went down to the dealership and told them what I had. They verified it, and went to work fixing it with no hassle. You know that feeling like you might have gotten screwed? I used to get that feeling. I hate that feeling. Thank God I don’t get it anymore.

neat product but the code book needs work4
What a neat little OBDII code reader! I have had a problem with my Land Rover “service engine” light coming on and I hate taking it to the dealer just to tell me that they cleared the code and could not find anything malfunctioning and charge me $100. Being a backyard mechanic I also want to know what is wrong and are they replacing the right parts or if it is something I can do, or something that can wait. In comes the Actron pocketscan. It a very slick tool for under $70 bucks. The only downside is that the code book and website are sub par. I actually have to go to their competitor’s web site (iequus.com) to get the codes for my Land Rover. Even though the Equus web site is much better, they do not have a code reader this small that will fit into the glove box or door panels as well. Actron should get their act together and get their code book and website up to the grade that Equus has.
