OBD2 CODE READERS and Code Scanners: NOT what you THINK they're for! - Auto Repair
Channel: HouseCallAutoRepair
Date: 2019-12-29

How do I turn off my check engine light? Why is my check engine light on? How do I use a code reader? Why is a code reader going to cost me more in the long run, than a real mechanic? Why do Auto Part Stores LOVE code readers? Why will using a code reader make my car worse?

This video is about why Code Readers and Code Scanners can cause you more problems than they are likely to fix, and why they'll often mislead you to buy unnecessary parts, and still not fix the real problem. Can you say "PARTS CANON AMMO"? 

What you REALLY need is a professional Scan Tool and the knowledge to use it properly.

Auto repairs for the "Do-it-yourself" mechanic...  These are "HOW-TO" videos, that show viewers details of what is involved in a specific repair... some do's and don'ts, as well as a variety of tips to make the repair easier.  Warning: Some videos may contain material that qualifies as "other than normally accepted".

 I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actron(s) DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics.  I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
