Does it diagnos engine codes like a scan tool?

Yes, I have been able to pull the codes a couple times and then Googled the code.

More than likely, but that is a old protocol. This tool only does Global scan tool data, which means you only get to look at certain engine pids (perimeter IDs). It should work on that chrysler which has the connector for the scanner under the hood, but you will only be able to see if the vehicle has any engine or transmission codes since it is not a CAN (controller are network) vehicle. You can only look at live scan data if the vehicle uses can for communications.

As basic as this reader is I have found many ABS problems with it and resolved them. With a little practical experience it is useful in locating a variety of engine diagnostics also, however the code protocols are so varied, PID, SID,MID etc. are all based around the OBDII protocol. There is a book offered by Nexiq technologies for $89.00 dollars that is almost a necessity to make this tool worthy. Hope this helps.

No, this will read the code the car's computer is saying is a problem. You can look up the code on the internet and that may lead you to the problem. Tell your mechanic to fix it. This device just reads codes.

Yes it will clear codes and give you indication of when readiness mode is achieved so that you can get vehicle inspected. I use this when needed and it is handy since it runs on my iPhone.

Yes. But if you don't fix the problem at hand. The code Will come back everytime. Ex. An O2 sensor will bring a code up. Just because you clear or reset the code, the problem Will always exist and show up at your emission test station.

I don't know. I used it two weeks ago to read an engine code about a fuel system problem on a Honda Prelude. It told me what I needed to know and I made the repair.

No, it will tell you the error code, and if it supports your car for more than simple OBDII, will allow you to see various PCM inputs in real time. You will have to know (or learn) what sensors are applicable to the specific error code. The web is great for learning the codes, just be willing to read a lot.

Need model, type and code numbers direct from block of engine to make any determination

it depends on the vehicle, i have yet to find a scanner the works on all vehicles for functions. its a valuable tool for the shop

It is designed to read ABS,transmission,engine and SRS [air bag codes] an all 1996 and newer gasoline engine cars. so the answer is yes.

I believe that it will but the codes are very basic and you will look up the code in a book that they provide. The better diagnostic meter will have the code and the description in the readout.

Yes it does. It has some add-on software that you apparently need to buy to get anything besides a P-code. (Diagnostic troubleshooting, exact LR definitions, etc) but it will check, and delete the three amigos.

Altho I haven't used this scanner to reset engine codes, the literature says that it will.If it doesn't, it is still a nice unit and very helpful.JM2C

Yes It will pull any and all codes that trigger the check engine light. However you should get a list of codes that are model specific. Google it.

Yes. I have a 2013 Dodge Dart and it scans the code and on some codes it'll tell you exactly what it is and it can clear the error as well

I dont think so...i believe 95 and below is obd1..this is 96 and up tool used to scan off obd2 ports ..which is 96 and up vehicles...to read codes on 95 vehicles and below, u have to read number of check engine light flashes..google it
