I havent been game to plug it into the car yet, to scared it will bugger something up. it says it is a CAN ODBII scan toolMGYep, its fine to use. The one in the ebay link in the first post is an Autel GS400. The difference between the two, is that the GS400 has a comprehensive LCD readout telling you what its doing, and what its found (or not found), whereas with the GS300 you have to look codes up in a booklet, or on the CD. Both support CAN.Here's the GS300 for $100 from the same dude:Autel GS300 from the same dudeI've used a GS400 on my car, my brothers BF GT, and the folks BFII Fairmont Ghia. It connected to, and read the computers in all three no probs. As stated however, I highly doubt it can read the FoMoCo specific codes. Most likely only reads the generic OBDII P codes. Even so, a tool that only reads the 'generic' codes is better than nothing. Edited 05/05/07 01:33 PM by Spruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep one of the units in my car just in case. - Genis CAN GS 300 -It will " Support multiple trouble codes requests: generic codes, pending codes and manufacturer's specific codes."There are a number of OBD2 Code sites on the Internet to get all the information re Codes.I also got a unit that will read " some " live data.Hope this helps.
