CHEAP OBD II Tool that works on 2009 370z??
Hi,
I've read the posts on the forum about OBDII tools that are the "best" - i.e., expensive. I just need one to tell me why my check engine light is on. Simple and cheap. I bought an Autel that was $30 on Amazon, and it's apparently too old to read the codes of my car. That's what the company told me! Any idea which model - Autel or otherwise - actually works and isn't more than about $30-40? Daisi |

I used to use this model
ActronŽ Is your ECU US spec? If sol, this should work fine. You'll have to look up the meaning of the DTC code tho'.

I've had the small Actron PocketScan for years and still works fine for the Z. It was about $50.

Sorry to thread jack, but does anyone know of a good app on iphone that works well with any of the OBDII readers? More specifically the one similar to what TAKJAK posted?
