Our shop has a scanner from Matco that gets a lot of use too.
Honda hds tutorial code#
Still considering getting a $20 engine code reader/eraser just for speed Mastertech scanner (mine, pretty much obsolete now) Hondas HDS scanner software (on two of my personal laptops) Sometimes people post with codes that can’t exist in their car, that means some code readers aren’t 100% accurate at reading the codes.Ĩ0% of my entire career has revolved around your pesky warning lights LOL Some codes are easy, read code and throw a part at it….other codes aren’t so simple and some people can waste a lot of money by not doing their homework first.
There’s also cheap ones you can plug into the OBD2 port and get readings on your phone via Bluetooth, so there’s that. Fancier ones actually give readouts and stuff. The only I bought only shows you the code and allows you to delete them. With the aid of mobile Google machines, you can easily and quickly begin to troubleshoot CELs. I bought a cheap one, well, cheap back then ($60 in 2007) and it’s been plenty useful.
Car models: couple of Honda Civics and a Ford and they all have OBD II ports.
