Review on FOXWELL Diagnostic Function Chevrolet Cadillac by Charles Fowler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great alternative to spending big bucks at the GM dealership

Used this tool on a 2014 Chevy Spark. The StabiliTrak light came on with the brake pedal position sensor code. The part is only $20, but you can't just put a new sensor in it. The replacement sensor needs to be calibrated for the vehicle or the light will stay on and the system will not function. This tool allowed me to view all faults in the car, clear them and examine the new brake pedal position sensor. The only complaint is that the menus are a bit confusing and it took me a while to figure out which menu had the correct 'workouts' option. The BPP sensor is stored in the body control module and I had to select 'Yes' for the Spark GMLAN to access it. Once I realized that, the whole operation was over in a few minutes. It's probably already paid for itself as I'm sure it would have taken a local GM dealer at least 2 hours to do it. I will definitely use it again if I meet another GM who needs special diagnostics.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some trouble
