Default Diagnostic tool

Hello all,

I am looking for a diagnostic tool for my 2010 z06. I am not interested in
Tuning, but would like a scan tool for all parameters. I don't want a tech 2
System. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Sam

if you are looking for a code reader you can buy them online, parts stores even harbour freight for @ $50. It is a great tool to keep in your tool box.

Thank you Tom, I have a code reader but I wanted something a bit more comprehensive.

I'm curious to know if the Diablo Intune is a good option for that...

What is your budget? If you want to read live data I know Actron and Equus have fairly good priced scan tools.

Yes it is! You can record data logs and upload the logs to your computer. Download the "Dataviewer" a free software to view the logs with the the provided charts or gauges. You can set what parameters to view: LTFT, STFT, spark adv., knock retard, total knock spark retard, IAT's, MAF sensor Mass airflow, Mass airflow sensor frequency, absolute throttle position, commanded throttle position, Equivalence ratio, vehicle speed, rpm, calculated engine load, coolant temp, cooling fan duty cycle, TCM (auto shift firmness) and more. You can even hook up a wideband to it.

You will also have the option to modify your stock tune, download preloaded tunes or have a custom tune (i.e. Diablew custom tune). You can return back to your stock tune at any time or leave your stock tune and just data log it. Finally, you can scan DTC's.

A great and simple learning tool!

I just bought a Dash Boss. It requires an IPhone or IPad. It reads codes & clears them. It will read just about any function from the OBD Port. You can do 0-60 runs & 1/4 runs. Also does much more. It will record & save all that data. I think it was less than $200. Just google dash boss & it will take you to their website. I read about it in VETTE magazine. They gave it good reviews. Good Luck!

Pete

I have looked into the Actron quite a bit, but I'm just wanting to dissect my P0700 Trans code (Onstar told me the code) to find the rest of the codes associated. I still can't find if it will do that, and I can't stand that the dealer wants $100 just to plug in a machine and read the codes!

Thanks for help, I'm just looking for a more complex code scanner/reader. The Intune can only read from the ECM, and cannot further diagnose the Trans, for example.
