Amazon.com Product Description
The Actron CP9180 OBD II AutoScanner Plus Diagnostic Code Scanner encompasses many professional features in an inexpensive scan tool. If you are new to diagnostic scanners, this handy tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer. But even if you're a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you'll be impressed with the new functionality that Actron has added to the CP9180. This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to freeze-frame live timing and pinpoint your vehicle's problem. Instead of having to recreate a scenario over and over again, you can now playback the timing to scrutinize all the data and make a clear diagnosis. Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand. This device is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present.



The Actron CP9180 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View larger.


TrueLink Technology assures a fast and accurate diagnostic output.


The CP9180 is bilingual (Spanish). View other features.
In addition, the CP9180 is fully updateable via the Internet, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, easy-to-read backlit screen that shows the trouble code and its definition. And although you still have to fix the problem that your scanner detects, this device will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive. Every Actron scan tool and code reader incorporates CAN (Controller Area Network) and the patented TrueLink Technology which guarantees the tool will link to and communicate with every OBD II compliant vehicle. This assures a fast and accurate diagnostic output -- a key ingredient to an effective repair.

The CP9180 is simple and easy to use. The included OBD II cable provides both data and power connections, while the USB cable offers a quick and easy way to connect your scanner to your PC. In addition to connecting to the computer for Internet updates, you'll also appreciate the CP9180's USB connectivity because it makes printing DTCs and other information a breeze. Once the scanner is connected to your vehicle, the user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. This device displays freeze frame data, O2 monitor tests, state emissions, and even records and displays live sensor data so you know what's happening with your vehicle as you make adjustments. Other features include an OBD II code library built right into the tool, an OBD II drive cycle mode, battery power so you can review diagnostic data even when the scanner is disconnected from your vehicle, and a bilingual (English, Spanish) mode.

Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test -- even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms. The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with the simple keypad used to read, erase, and navigate DTCs, make the CP9180 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.

Actron CP9180 AutoScanner Plus Diagnostic Code Scanner with Live, Record and Playback Data Capability and O2 Monitor Test for OBDII (Post-1996) Vehicles]]
This is a very good product and does what it's supposed to do and is very easy to read
The only problem I had is they shipped it USPS Select and it took 14 days to travel 200 miles



5 out of 5 stars Does what its suppose to do.   September 2, 2008

This ODB code scanner works as I expected.
So far I have used it on three different cars (Subaru, VW & Toyota)
and it worked fine on all of them. Scanner paid for its self on
the first use.



4 out of 5 stars Not sure how it could be easier to use   September 2, 2008
James Q. Talley (Shelburne, VT)
With the caveat that I've not tried using the software that came with it, using the scanner itself with both my 2003 GMC Sierra and my 2003 Subaru Baja couldn't be easier. Codes were easily read and the real time data readouts helped me understand my Subaru temperature gauge - which tended to have wild swings between hot and cold depending on whether I was going up hills or not. Leaving the scanner plugged in while driving allows you to monitor many system variables. A solid tool that's easy to use and relatively easy to understand, especially if you have a set of factory service manuals available (which I do for the GMC, but not for the Subaru).

Excellent product, easy to use, prompt use thru each step. Performed as described. I recommend purchase.


4 out of 5 stars Paid for Itself   August 7, 2008
Roger Guess Jr. (Fort Worth, Texas)
The scanner was easy to use right out of the box and operated as advertised. It paid for itself on the second use and saved me a lot of time as well. It would be even better if it were compatible with the O2 sensors on my truck.
