Equus 3160 Works Perfectly

This reader read my codes correctly, told me which cylinder was malfunctioning, and what was happening. This device operates exactly as described, is easy to use, and works trouble-free.

I would not have easily confirmed a suspected leaking head gasket without this device reliably reporting the failure mode through its various tests. Intelligent use of this reader will help you know when it is time to take your vehicle in for professional repair or if you can do the fix yourself. A real edge when the repair shop knows that you've properly identified what's really wrong with the vehicle when you take it in.

The caveat is that the code scanner user must understand what the codes mean, and how the code report fits into the complete picture of the engine's performance. It is a significant tool in the home mechanic's arsenal when used correctly.
