Code Reader Recommendation
Hi everyone,
I know my C5 will show all codes in the DIC but today am working on my parents' 2004 C1500 Suburban with ABS and traction control lights illuminated. My Actron scanner unfortunately won't read "C" chassis codes. There's a wealth of GM experience on the forum; which handheld reader would you recommend to read ABS (and perhaps airbag/enhanced OBD-2 codes)?
Of course it would be great if it could read 2010 codes as well.
Thanks for your time!
Carl

I have an ACTRON CP9180 CAN BUS Scanner. ($130)
It wont read some body Codes but reads everything else. The actron like is pretty good as some have LIVE Sensor data or datalogging capability.
What modle scanner do you have???
