🔧 U480 OBDII Auto Scanner Trouble Code Reader for Check Engine Optimization Review

I bought this for a recently purchased Subaru Impreza Outback 97 2.2. The description says it may not work with all Subaru, so it worked for me. Just plugged it in, followed the instructions in the manual and was immediately notified as to why my check engine light was on. Fixed it without spending a dime on parts or labor and saved the time and money I would have paid by driving to the shop and paying the mechanic. What I really like is that I can dig under the hood in my free time and fix it…

I've read several reviews about the device being confusing with only 2 buttons. How confusing can that be? I read the instructions based on the reviews but I don't think I needed them.

If any of the previous reviewers found this confusing, it's possible that he or she didn't follow the instructions. Plug in the reader with the key in the off position…

If you're at Revain and you want a $20 code scanner, chances are you're not a mechanic. A lot of the reviews here say there are better scanners out there and I suspect they are right. I'm not a mechanic, I'm just a person whose check engine light comes on regularly. Every time I take my truck to the shop they say it's a historic code and they don't worry.
