4 out of 5 stars works as described, nice manual   March 4, 2010
Joe Smith (Cape Cod MA USA)
I was satisfied with this item, although I initially plugged it in backwards; when I finally got it plugged in right, it worked as described. I wanted to get the extension cord for it also, but it seemed too expensive for what it was. Basically when you plug the unit into the plug in the engine compartment, you do one set of tests that work fine when you are standing there with the device. But then, when you are getting a passing grade on that test, there are two more levels of testing that may require you to tap on the gas or brakes from the drivers seat and if you are doing that, you can't look at the code reader at the same time to see when it is ready to move to the next step, unless you have two people doing it, or buy the extension cable so the device can be in the driver's seat with you. The manual is pretty well written and thorough, but then in my case I still needed my ford factory service manuals that I also bought online, to tell me specifically what the codes meant.


5 out of 5 stars Equus 3145 Ford Digital Code Reader Works   February 5, 2010
Kunta Kinte (Tampa, FL.)
I had a problem with my 94 Ford Taurus 3.8l engine stalling after sitting for a few minutes. used the code reader to discover that one of my sensors was bad. After replacing the sensor I still had the problem. Although the reader The MAP was ok,I replace it also. The MAP was good and that did not solve my problem. The problem is that Ford recalled the fuel pump on the car in 1994. It was the cause of the problem. It causes the car to have an effect like a vapor lock. At lease the code reader save me from spending more money. I think it was a very good deal. It forced me to look for the problem some where else, Two thumbs up.....

I puchased this Ford code reader because my Pace Arrow motorhome (Ford 460 engine) failed to start after being in storage over the winter. Prior to purchase I checked the ususal things, spark,fuel and air. Not knowing anything about Fords EEC IV (electronic engine control)including where it was located in the vehical, I decided to do a little research on subject and the first thing I learned was without a code reader all the reseach in the world will not diagnost the problem.

Within minitues of Equius 3145 Ford Digital arrival, I had it plugged in and the system tested and the problem diagnost. I would higly recomended this code reader for all laymen and mechanics alike. It come complete with clear instructions and with batteries works right out of the box even for us layman

I find it hard to pull the codes off my truck with the whole blinking light deal. This reader is the answer to my prayers. My only problem no is I have to fix my ERG valve position indicator before I can figure out what else is wrong with the truck. There are three checks the reader goes thru, and you must do them in order, and resolve all of the problems before you go to the next check. But the product works great, and the manual makes it a breeze to work with. I highly recommend this to anyone.
