This digital code reader is a diagnostic tool that is specially designed to work with your vehicle’s test connector to communicate with MCU and EEC-IV computers. It uses electronics designed to retrieve engine and transmission diagnostic trouble codes from the vehicle’s computer but does not generate codes. The code reader serves as a key that links to and opens communication with the vehicle’s computer to prompt the computer to perform self tests and to receive test results or retrieve codes.

I own an ’86 mustang with a 5.0 and it just wouldn’t start and run. So being a decent mechanic myself, I began testing everything I knew how too. But everything was checking out just fine. So I started doing some research on reading codes from the computer, and found this product for an incredibly reasonable price. I was able to find one at the local Oreilly’s. Picked it up and in a matter of ten minutes of using it, I found my problem, a bad MAP sensor. Very good buy!!!

I had multiple mysterious conditions accompanying my “Check Engine” light. The dealer wanted 0 just to read my codes! I thought I could find a reader at least for the same price and found most readers that would read OBD1 codes were over 0.00 until I found this Ford specific OBD1 reader at a fraction of the cost the dealer was going to charge me. My 1st thought was that this could’nt be a quality device for .00. I read up on the product, trusted the reviewers here on Amazon and gave it a go. I found 5 codes and was able to do several other self diagnosing tests and am 100% satisfied with this product. Highly recommended! It is rare to get more than you pay for… but this is indeed one of those times. Thanks Amazon for listing great product. Dennis – Oceanside, CA

Great product and worked very well. I got the recommendation from the web site doing a research to find out why my Explorer have the check engine light on. I could have taken the car to be diagnostic to a dealer or at any other shop and pay 0.00 and then pay the repair, which probably wold cost me 0 or more. Instead I got this little device, and it told me that I need to check the Oxy Sensor and some vacuum hoses as well as the PCV valve. I estimate 0 parts and 1 hr to do it…The company who sold me the device was fast and the device arrived promptly based on their estimated delivery.
