Code readers, which ones are good?
Anyone use an Equus code reader before? Is it a good one? JC Whitney has it on sale for $99.99 right now. Regular price $169.99. Sounds like good deal if the reader is any good. Anyone have the scoop on a good code reader.
Heres the link,

C5s codes can be read in the DIC, the following covers it all. http://www.stengel.net/diccodes.htm No code reader necessary

EQUUS makes two very good OBD II code readers, the 3100 ~ $100 and the 3110 ~ $175. Whitney doesn’t say which one they are selling for $99.99, but if it is the 3100, it is not CAN (Controller Area Network) compatible. You can go to the EQUUS website and check them both out and also get a list of vehicles that require CAN compatibility.
There is a link under the 3100 model that tells you which vehicles require CAN… like most 2005 GM vehicles.
http://www.iequus.com/item.asp?cid=7&pid=3100
The 3100 and the 3110 are for 1996 and newer vehicles, but only the 3110 has CAN capability. I have the 3110 and think it is a great piece of equipment and very versatile.
(BTW, ~ $100 or less is the going price for the 3100 at most online parts houses.)
Good luck… GUSTO

Thanks for the all the info. You learn something new every day. Doing a little more research I think the Auto Xray scanner is probably a much better tool to have. You get much better info.
Thanks,
