Exactly why I purchased this scan tool because of how much to have 1 scan done by someone else and it has worked good the first time I used it, hopefully it does well in the future.
@@MajorWeakness Yes it is, my 2016 toyota tacoma SR5 is at 169k miles so I know some dumb little sensor is going to die and the last thing I want to do is visit a dealership.
@@MajorWeakness Anytime you stay out of the auto repair shop is a great thing. If they had did the work, it would have been 431.00 vs me doing it for 256.00 and I still have the scan tool. It did help, j Thanks, Mac
man ive never seen a car with a steerinwheel and obd2 reader on both the right and left side /s lol took my brain a bit to catch on that camera was mirrored for a bit
I am looking to buy a Zurich today. The zr13s or the zr15s. I mainly need one that will scan and cover all the abs stuff. The zr15s also does this but I’m not sure if the stuff that the 15s will do is over kill bs the zr13s It’s a good price difference and my scanner works good for codes but I need something to cover the full and system. Would you say 13s over 15s
If I needed something that could reset electric steering angles or did mechanic work for a living then I would go with the 15. I'm not a mechanic so I went with the 13 and it has taken care of all my needs at an affordable price
I am stunned that car companies are now making new cars so that aftermarket scanners do not work on them. At 150 hr at a dealer when your vehicle is off warranty only few can. I have heard people say they paid 1200 for rotors and pads on all 4. Considering parts would run you on average 500 total , once again they want more in labor than in parts.
Funny because most OB2 Code Readers have the battery/alternator test and require the vehicle to be running. I have a Craftsman OB2 Code Reader similar to this Zurich and I can use it while vehicles are running.
@@Chuckiewashere this unit also tests alternator and battery while running. I rather use a battery tester connected directly to battery to accurately check CCA
No you would need to get the Zurich ZR15s with has bidirectional capability to do that. This one can read and reset ABS codes but no bleeding or bidirectional stuff.
YES I verified today on my 2010 F150. It not only automatically setup the scanner for the f150 but of you hit the "vehicle information " section under the "menu " button it will display the entire VIN number.
It was purchased at autozone about 8 years ago. Not from Amazon. The one I used in this video to diagnose was Harbor Freight for about 140.00, just for clarification incase someone reads this comment.
At least he took the time to produce a video and present the unit. Unlike yourself who simply sits in the peanut gallery and belly aches about nothing.
You can with this one as it has a live data feature. The vehicle has to be on to show all the live data information, otherwise that feature would be useless.

Mine still working great and used fairly often
Cool video. I like that you used it for the 1st time with us.
Thanks
Great quick video run down of this. Bought mine with that New Years 25% off coupon, Absolute steal of a deal.
Yes it works great for the money

@@DarkKnight-dq7ek it will pay for itself the first time you use it
Damn,I need 1 now,had the coupon & now my abs stabili trak light came on & car shakes from 35mph up
Did you fix it
Thanks for sharing, a little less intimidated now.
Hope it helps

I just used mine tonight and it wouldn't read ABS. Thats why I bought it. Im going to try to update firnware. Said contact customer support.
That's weird. I've never had that problem. Hopefully it gets resolved
Bought 1 earlier today
Cool. Hope it works out for you
@@MajorWeakness Merry Christmas bro from Arizona desert southwest
not bad ,just for a few dollars more you'll get one that also bleeds the abs,not far from tje price of that one
Yes now the one above this model bleeds for not much more
reads codes but it does'nt bleed yhe abs like others do
Correct. The higher model above this do bleed I believe
Does this give TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE for a proper fluid change?
It Has live data and yes Temps are one of them
*adds to cart*
To purchase?
Most "pocket scanners" do not start the vehicle while using.. you need a snap-on or higher end scanners to do that..........
Sorry if I gave the impression this would start the vehicle. It will not

He never said they would start the vehicle

can itit to bleed abs?
No it does not bleed abs
Need to get next model up
Do you know if this scanner will do a relearn on a crankshaft sensor?
I'm not sure about that. Harbor Freight always has their owners manuals on their website under the produce so you might want to check there
@@MajorWeakness thanks
@@MajorWeakness I read the description but it didn't say anything about it
@@cdp50359 the model above this has bidirectional functionality so I bet the upper model will do it
@@MajorWeakness thanks
Can u bleed the abs with that ?!
No you would need to get the Zurich ZR15s with has bidirectional capability to do that. This one can read and reset ABS codes but no bleeding or bidirectional stuff.
Hello does this scanner also write in the vin numbers?
I'm not sure. I can check this weekend
Lol heck No, you need a $1000+ scan tool for that buddy
@@ivanmoreno3918 actually ot does read VIN numbers. It displays the VIN. It automatically sets up the scanner for your particular vehicle.
YES I verified today on my 2010 F150. It not only automatically setup the scanner for the f150 but of you hit the "vehicle information " section under the "menu " button it will display the entire VIN number.
G it’s hard to believe that that five dollar scanner that you bought off Amazon would not figure out that you had a speed sensor bad imagine that. lol

Your not supposed to start the vehicle with scanner plugged in..
Never heard of that before
@@MajorWeakness well read the instructions.
@@marki61422 what page?
You can with this one as it has a live data feature. The vehicle has to be on to show all the live data information, otherwise that feature would be useless.
ABS brake bleed?
No you would need the next step up model like the ZR15s. You need a scanner with bidirectional functionality.
