Easy to use code reader that works like a charm on a 2001 F250 Diesel truck.
Quick diagnosis to confirm that a sensor in the left front wheel was disconnected.
2 clicks and the ABS light tyrned off again,
Use it 2 or 3 times and it pays for it self.

It has obd2 libray so can check what code it has. also can check abs code too. freeze frame. I like the function and flex.
This is an excellent tool. I bought this scanner to repair an ABS problem on a Ford Windstar. The ABS features are built right into the scanner. The other ABS scanners I saw were separate tools. Although they may have had more capabilities. I really like the back-light and the live data feature. I had my wife drive the vehicle while I was able to watch the scanner run live. Also it comes with a nice case, but it is very small. You may want to get a larger generic case to use instead. I have not connected it to the internet yet. I don’t think this is a professional grade tool, I think it is really meant for home use. I would recommend this scanner to any do-it-your self mechanic. It is hard to beat for the price.
it took a week of going to different sites and reading customer reviews plus time at manufactors home sites there were plenty of negative reviews on many models but on this unit the worst complaint was wanting a larger case. like any tool it takes practice learning how to use all the info available ,The ABS circuit is a plus I own a small used car dealer ship but it has already paid for it self in pointing out driveability issues other brands had reliability issues or customer service issues but so far it is a winner. the hardest part is sometimes finding the defective parts location under the hood I go to my local parts store and they have made use of service manuals for free ( chilton )I like buying from Amazon because of there willingness to work with you if you do have a problem
I replaced a 3100 model with this one. Not as easy to use as the 3100, but I like the live data and the abs code reading abillity. This scanner will read 2009 ford f450/6.4 diesel.
