Q: from my experience the manual that comes with the product from hf is a lot better than the scanned manual. the reason why the code is given is because the code just points you in the right direction. o2 sensor voltage could be anything from corroded wires to a faulty ground somewhere. using a number is easier to point out the exact area to look. i almost got one but the wife said shed get it for me for xmas and then couldnt remember which one i wanted. one of the neighbors got one and ive borrowed it a couple of times. it works very well and the manual is much better in person than the one on the net. you cant judge the quality of a product based the sample manual provided on the net by a reseller. michael greenwood wrote im curious does that reader do anything more than the odometer display on my 03 when i do the key on-off-on-off-on thingy it spits out a code then you just look it up. now...for 40 bucks if the display said o2 sensor voltage instead of a code wed be cookin here. i also looked at the pdf manual available for download. it looked as if it were scanned by my 4 year-old. simply based on that i wouldnt waste the 40 bucks. the product quality is prolly the same. --mike hi has anyone bought the obd ii reader from harbor freight that they sell for $39.99 they call it call a universal code reader catalog no.46030-1hch. is it any good and will it work on my 98 dakota thanks alan to reply by email replace nospam with comcast in my address .

you cant judge the quality of a product based the sample manual provided on the net by a reseller. thats certainly true but it sure doesnt give a good first impression which we first know is everything. you still didnt mention though does it give more info than my odometer display i still cant see spending 40 bucks on something i already have. --mike from my experience the manual that comes with the product from hf is a lot better than the scanned manual. the reason why the code is given is because the code just points you in the right direction. o2 sensor voltage could be anything from corroded wires to a faulty ground somewhere. using a number is easier to point out the exact area to look. i almost got one but the wife said shed get it for me for xmas and then couldnt remember which one i wanted. one of the neighbors got one and ive borrowed it a couple of times. it works very well and the manual is much better in person than the one on the net. you cant judge the quality of a product based the sample manual provided on the net by a reseller. michael greenwood wrote im curious does that reader do anything more than the odometer display on my 03 when i do the key on-off-on-off-on thingy it spits out a code then you just look it up. now...for 40 bucks if the display said o2 sensor voltage instead of a code wed be cookin here. i also looked at the pdf manual available for download. it looked as if it were scanned by my 4 year-old. simply based on that i wouldnt waste the 40 bucks. the product quality is prolly the same. --mike hi has anyone bought the obd ii reader from harbor freight that they sell for $39.99 they call it call a universal code reader catalog no.46030-1hch. is it any good and will it work on my 98 dakota thanks alan to reply by email replace nospam with comcast in my address .
