When the check engine light comes on it can be annoying, if not down right scary. Whether you want to find out what your check engine light means, or you know what it means, and you just want to turn it off, the Actron CP9135 AutoScanner can do the job. Rather than taking your car to the shop for a potentially expensive diagnostic and repair, you can simply plug in the AutoScanner and see for yourself what the problem is.
Whenever a malfunction occurs (assuming your car in year 1996 or later), your car will likely identify and store information about that problem. These problem codes can then be retrieved by the Actron AutoScanner, which displays both the problem and definition on the device's easy-to-read liquid crystal display. Although you may discover you have a problem you cannot fix, you at least have information to pass on to auto repair shop, saving you from having to pay for a diagnostic test.
The Actron CP9135 AutoScanner will also allow you to erase existing error codes. This comes in handy if you are already aware of a non-serious problem, and simply want to turn the check engine light off. Turning the light off, and erasing error codes, may be necessary to pass state inspections. The Autoscanner currently retails for $75.
