Re: Need help in finding a scan tool

They are likely referring to a code reader. Your mechanic has one and will use it as step one in the diagnostic process. The trouble code is a starting point. The code identifies a circuit or sensor that isn't performing correctly. Its up to the mechanic to figure out why. No tool can say "fix this."
