Review on LAUNCH Creader VIII OBD2 Scanner: Advanced Car Diagnostic Tool for Mechanic and Enthusiast by Michael Crossman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reads basic codes for Honda

I've tried this on most Honda models and it works most of the time. It cannot read zf 9spd AT codes in newer pilots and odysseys. I've had strange results using it to break in electronic brake calipers on civilian vehicles, but I've used it successfully on an HRV. It can also relearn the neutral position of the steering angle sensor, which is usually "forgotten" when the battery is disconnected. Saves you the trip to the dealer, as this code usually does not disappear on its own. It turns on fairly quickly, can probably clear the check engine light (pgmfi code) within a minute (about 5 minutes faster than a Honda scanner). CDU).

Pros
  • code readers and scan tools
Cons
  • tape
