Review on πŸ“± Actron CP9660 PocketScan Plus: Advanced ABS/OBD II/CAN Scan Tool for 1996 and Newer Vehicles in Vibrant Orange by Gilbert Cokky

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good product but does not read ABS codes on some makes/models

I am using this code reader with a base 2006 Toyota Tacoma that had an ABS instrument panel recently installed came on and 8 hours later the ABS light went out. This scanner feels solid and well made and works as described in the Revain listing and on the product packaging. The reason I bought this particular model is because it also reads ABS codes and I wanted to see what would happen if the ABS light came on. I've researched the makes and models supported for reading ABS codes and haven't found anything on the Actron website or anywhere else on the internet. nowhere. So I figured since my Tacoma is a very common model, it also has ABS and OBD2, then this is a good buy. I plugged it in and it came back saying there were no error codes. Then when I told the scanner to read the ABS codes (a separate function) it couldn't read my truck. He didn't say there were no codes, he said he couldn't read the ABS codes on my car. So I am disappointed because there is no list of ABS compatible cars that will work with this scanner. I could save $30 by buying the standard non-ABS scanner model.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not bad but...
