Best Answer

Code readers are used for scanning engine codes on cars when the check engine light comes on. Basic code readers are great for checking engine "P" codes however to read codes and view data for other systems like ABS, SRS, Climate control etc, a automotive scanner that has more features is required. Code readers like the ones available at DenLorsTools.com are perfect for any car owner that would like to be able to scan their own check engine light. It could pay for itself quickly considerring that even leaving the gas cap off can set a code (this could cost $70 plus to have a shop read and clear). == ==
