Or are these things all pretty much the same?
I ask because I've found a few that claim to offer lists of "most probable fixes" for particular codes in a particular vehicle, in descending order of probability (based on past mechanic reports), rather than just showing a code for "xx sensor out of range" or something like that. Are these features worth a darn? Is there an internet site with the same type of info?
Been searching and haven't really found much, other than a review on Amazon stating that one brand requires you pay a fee to access such info, whereas others don't charge you for it.
Looking for one that also reads ABS/SRS codes.
Finally it needs to be a self-contained unit (no Bluetooth/smartphone/app-based stuff).
Thanks!
