Cen Tech Scanner Update
Last weekend when I was troubleshooting my Wife's Saturn, I decided to pick up a scanner instead of just throwing parts at the problem. I seen the Cen-Tech 98614 at Harbor Freight. I am always a little wary when buying digital items from Harbor Freight, so I hesitated but eventually figured it was only $119, and the price of a few sensors will easily cost far more than that $119. Of course I could get on loan for free from Autozone or Oreilly, but I like having it here at home where I can really take my time (even a few days) to run multiple tests. I used this Cen-Tech code reader / scanner and it worked like a charm. I was able to test nearly every single sensor with ease. This device allows you to read live sensor data, record live sensor data, view graphs, and much more.
I couldn't be happier with this product. Anyone else use one of these? Bob, It looks like you and I are the only ones using these. My 1999 Jeep Wrangler is getting up there on miles and I started to get the annoying check-engine light for very minor things. After a few trips to the shop to have them read the messages I finally decided to get one of my own to have on the road with me. On a recent trip I got a few check-engine lights for a simple misfire. I was able to read the error, note it for my mechanic and then clear the check-engine light.
It gets very annoying driving with that message light on all the time. I have an old OBDII.com interface box (9 pin serial on the PC end), but I think they went under and I can't find the software any longer. So it's basically just sitting in a drawer, asking for love, and I've none to give it. I might be able to use a term program to talk directly to the CAN Bus, but that presumes you know how to feed it the correct AT commands and know all the proper addresses and offsets (without a map of the flash, that's hard to do).
Otherwise I use a ScanGauge II. It does the trick, I leave it connected all the time, and it Just Works. One problem is it's not going to outright test each sensor (wasn't aware you could do that, necessarily). I'm contemplating getting one of the knock-off clones of the Toyota Techstream setup.
I hear they can work anywhere from very well to not at all. But for $35, it might be worth it.
Just gotta get some sort of Windows OS installed under VirtualBox, first.
