I just bought a $38.00 US (including postage) OBDII scanner from 'alpha-bid ' on EBay. Right after I got it I had a check engine light come on & yes this very cheap reader worked just fine, giving the code & resetting it. It was a canister hose from the fuel tank problem that I had serviced about a year & a half ago but without knowing the code -well good luck in finding the problem. Anyway this seems to work for the engine codes but I don't know about what other functions it might check, like ABS systems etc.BCinBC

Sonow I am my own big brother ;) I will be the first to tell you it's overkill for the ave Joe/Jill BUT I have been looking at it for two or three years and I wanted one. I have had good luck overall with it and thought since my 97 Elantra has

152 K miles It would be usefull to have I am now tracking at code 0445 code with it.

I tried the $40 one from Harbor Freight and that worked on and off so I returned it. Walmart now has one for like $70 or so and that worked good to.
