    Thanks for making this video!! My boyfriend happens to have this scanner. I have a 2008 Saturn and a check engine light came on for a mass air flow sensor. Just like you said to, I looked up some cheaper possibilities to fix first- i changed out the air filter (the car needed it!) and i changed out the connector (found a broken ground wire!). The engine light didn’t turn off so I finally got a mass air flow sensor and replaced it. I used the scanner to clear the code, and the engine light is finally off and hasn’t turned back on after a little bit of driving. I’m not that great at fixing vehicles but this would have definitely turned into an expensive job ($200 in parts). My boyfriend would’ve fixed it for me too, but I was more than happy to fumble through it myself. Glad I did, i’ll be congratulating myself for the rest of the day 😆

  • @Havicerxx
    @Havicerxx 8 месяцев назад

    When you scroll down past the codes it will say a lot of other stuff but it will start with either zero or another number and it will say incomplete those are monitors that are incomplete scroll down and it will tell you which each one is that is codes that haven't popped up yet but are in the testing phase scroll down till it says zero or a number ready and it will tell you which monitors / sensors are good to go if it says zero incomplete and then you scroll down and it says whatever number of monitors you have ready then you know your vehicle will pass smog

  • @mspitstoptoyou

    I realize this is an old video, but I'm hoping you can help. I borrowed the Actron CP9125 because my newly purchased (used) 2014 Kia Soul's engine light went on, just 3 wks after having the ECU flashed according to the safety recall. I read the manual and followed instructions for plugging in and powering on the reader. It immediately displayed a code (I guess that's an old/unerased code?). I held down the READ button for 3 secs as the manual instructed. But instead of showing a # of Codes, it cycled through with * (I assume that meant it was reading), then just displayed the same code again. That code is P0420 (which I haven't looked up yet, because I'm confused that the reader didn't work the way the manual said). Any insights would be appreciated.

I haven't fixed the positive wires that connect other than rewiring not the actual part because it had melted the wires and the speed scensor before I realized it was more of an issue as most things are than people made it seem to be...transmission and gears and all these things have been directly effected and I'm trying to get the correct part now...do need help trouble shooting tho

    Hello Thomas,thanks for the video,I have a question,the display shows that there are 2 codes,when I hit "read" once,it shows the first code,when I hit "read" again,it does not show me next code...the display goes to "MIL ON" .

    • @thomasbriansavingmoney
      @thomasbriansavingmoney  5 лет назад +1

      One could be a generic code, meaning you have one issue throwing two codes because the first code was stored and the second one is pending. Thanks for watching!

  • @mstinamarie702
    @mstinamarie702 6 лет назад

    I am getting codes, 0420, 0430, 0300, 0302, 0308, and 0340pd ( I dont know what that PD stands for) what would be the common deno on this. I have changed the Camshaft sensor twice, the spark plugs, ignition coil boots, o2 sensors and the CATS.... and this thing is still shaking and puttering... its an 98 BMW 540i.. your advice would be amazing..

    • @thomasbriansavingmoney
      @thomasbriansavingmoney  6 лет назад +1

      pd means pending codes. sounds like you have a vacuum leak. first clear the codes. then run the vehicle. the moment the check engine light comes on, shut off the vehicle and read the codes. most other codes will be thrown after the first one because the ecm is trying to adjust something. so by doing this you can narrow your search. i really think you have a vacuum leak. listen while it is running for a hissing noise. a broken vacuum hose or something, prob a easy fix. let me know if this helps. thanks for watching.

    Install new part drive the car when the computer see the new part it will turn off the check engine lite by it self if you erase the code the monitor may never complete the cycle if you have check engine lite and your battery goes bad install new battery your code may be erased bucause you unhook the car battery you have a bad sensor all your monitor may not fully reset because the battery went bad if your EGR bad you check code before battery went bad you mite got to install new EGR then all the computer monitor complete the cycle

    So I got p030 and p135. So obviously it's something with the O2 sensor but when I turned my car back on, the check engine light didn't come on and the code reader said that I had 0 codes. Should I still fit the problem? Forgot to mention, when It first showed me the codes; it said I had 4 but p030 and p135 showed up twice.

      manufacture indicator lamp ( mil ) has the same meaning as check engine light. do you have a check engine light on ? your obd could be telling you that your connected, not that there is a issue.

      You can leave the reader connected and drive around until the codes clear. I have the same reader and I had to do that until the codes cleared so I could take the car for inspection. Just drive around and press read every 10 miles or so until you see no codes.
