ODB scan tool

Hi All
I have a used car dealer, with over 80 cars in stock (American, Jerman, and Japanese). I'm looking to buy a scan tool to check engine light, ABS and Air bag.

Any advise will be appreciated.

Ash

Re: ODB scan tool

get one with as many reprogramming, relearn, reflash capabilities as you can, you need to be able to read monitors and command actuators and tell the ecu to test different components...i try to use the manufacturers oem software/scantool... tech2 for gm, drb3 for crystler, techstream for toyota, etc..but thats not always possible

abs light being on means the module is disabled or malfunctioning
