Do Cheap Check Engine Light Readers Work?

[@MrBigR928]

It's good to see a young man that's not afraid to work 👍🏿

[@4321dud]

Thank you for showing me how the device works. I just found a code on my car. But you made it easy to figure out.

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

No problem. Glad the video helped.

[@hdrjunkie]

Wow... good job! I just got mine and watched this to see how this worked. Thanks for the lesson!

[@sirsweetness8332]

Good young lad with good knowledge. Keep learning. I have this same reader just made by Autel. MS300. Got it for $11 on eBay. Good little code reader.

[@JoseRodriguez-qc5jr]

Just got my scan tool ms300 today, check different videos on how to properly use it , your DAD must be very proud of you, thanks for the video, is kind of late so I will try mine tomorrow, keep up the good work, 🙏

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

Jose Rodriguez thanks!

[@james0081]

Got the same truck but a single cab threw a code scanned it it pulled up a evap code. The vent solenoid was bad. I need to buy one of these scanners. Good video

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

venom gaming it's been really helpful. I use it on my stuff and to help other people out. It's a steal for $25

[@troypurnell7479]

Thanks for the demo young man, got one last week and your demo help me alot about erasing codes thank you.

[@simonfleury6969]

Best video ever! I will go buy it on Amazon right now!

[@TonyB08]

Great video, Thanks, I bought the same tool but in Canada it cost me $33 at KMS Tools. Now I got to find this annoying evap leak...I put on a new gas cap, and tightened the screws on the pipe, but still the code returns....

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

That's a frustrating problem. My dads truck kept throwing the same code. He just got where he ignored it.

[@robertlee4172]

They sell them cheap OBDII scanners in Canada practically every 2nd week in our chain automotive joints. I've never considered them to be worth much, but I never spent the time shopping them out either. GOOD DEMO, lesson learned.

[@checkmate2049]

Didn’t see my code (p2004) in the manual but I googled it up now I know what it is..great vid and thx u

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

Check Mate no problem, yea when I can’t find them google comes in handy.

[@stephen732]

doesn't the vehicle need to be driven for certain miles to ensure engine light won't come back on?

[@AverageReviewsYT]

K&n high flow filters are notorious for not filtering well enough and u get issues like maf and a dirty intake

[@davidbrown8303]

The Walmart where I live has a identical one in every way even the color. I don't remember how much it was I was in a hurry to pick up ink cartridges for my printer. LOL my fancy HP printer my mom got me for Christmas on a black Friday sale for 19.99. I do remember passing by it and thinking dang that's cheap but then it left my mind. To many stressed out printer thoughts.

[@leciaman]

mine would not erase. do you highlight the yes

[@chabbytreemechanic1731]

Works great!

[@franciscommontielrodriguez707]

great video thanks

[@michaeldonaldllewellyn6294]

Great thanks for showing this. Watch your dog doesn't lick that stuff off the garage floor

[@JanVelazquez]

I just bought the same one bit when scanning it didn’t bring up any codes but check engine is still on. Don’t know what to do

[@TortureBot]

Get a similar one at WalMart, the Hyper Tough (Branded) model HT 309 for $20. Looks very similar BUT it defines the codes ONSCREEN! For $20! Just bought mine yesterday. Shows pending codes, Freeze Frame Data, clears codes and CEL. For $20? Come on.

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

TortureBot I might need to pick one up.

[@My110786]

yes helpful. thanks

[@shonoo2009]

thanks for video get so much help and explained very clearly can u please tell if clear the code before work done and rechecked the scanner its still shows thats code again ?

[@christophermason1574]

Yes you can

[@angelbluerider9588]

does this also let you do a reset? and can you plug this in even if you dont have a engine light on?

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

Ach Cru yes and you can plug it in with no codes, but it will tell you no pending codes.

[@angelbluerider9588]

@@SilveradoNtheStang does it got system menu and then pgm-fi that's to reset the throttle body position to relearn it.

[@danielsoloboyleon9002]

Hello good work nice video go Dallas =} 🏈🏈🏈🏈

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

DANIELSOLOBOY Leon thanks!

[@connorlee6947]

Can you do check and erase abs lights with this?

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

connor lee it will read and erase check engine lights.

[@ybnlean7819]

No. Says it on the website

[@ProudlyNobody]

great review bought the same model its done me well ... worked perfect for my smog check.

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

Gary Quinn I love it for the price. I couldn't justify spending $100 for a reader when you can have codes read for free at Oriellys or Autozone.

[@rosasj.r4597]

SilveradoNtheStang. Thank you for the tutorial and review I'm On my way to get one..👌👌👌

[@petederko4969]

nice video only negative is you use TURN IT OVER PHRASE to turn the key. to most of us over 40, turn it over means crank the engine as when someone calls us broke down we ask is it turning over? to acess the battery, starter condition.

[@owenthomas3]

Would this fit a Vauxhall vectra 1.9 150

[@abuzocom]

Does it reads abs

[@carlitosducoing8507]

So it does not display code definition?? Just the p0 number??

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

carlitos ducoing no it doesn’t display the code definition. I’m pretty sure that you can find one for the same price that does. It was a year or two ago when I bought it.

[@Wolfie1038]

Nice video but you didn't rescan to see if the code came back or if cleaning the air flow thing fixed the problem. All you did was clear the code and didn't scan again.

[@triparadox.c]

I want to ask one question. I am new to Fix Your Car Yourself kind of stuff, but I think the error lights are there to indicate that there might be something wrong? Why do you, and other people, like to erase it? Shouldn't you just keep fixing each of the clues the system was giving and it would clear on its own?

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

Triparadox Clifford yes the point is to fix them then clear the code. In this video I fixed the problem. Codes can go away after you fix them too but it takes a few drive cycles. It’s quicker to erase it and see if it comes back or not.

[@triparadox.c]

@@SilveradoNtheStang I have a follow up question: We know that, for example P0300, means an issue with multiple cause. What if we change the ignition coil and think it's all done where there is another problem other than the coil? For example the cables and the spark plugs? Won't it actually cause more problem since we can no longer know that the problem is 100% fixed?

[@SilveradoNtheStang]

Triparadox Clifford it will throw the code again if the problem persists.

[@coozbayt1021]

What is code KWP 2000

[@boricuaking360]

Pepboys $19.95 online

Great job!
