Equus 3130 Exceptional

I have an Isuzu Axiom, gone to many shops who did not have the proper software. This machine read everything possible on the car. It did a job that machines costing hundreds or even thousands more can't do.

Equus 3130 Great Product!

This is a great tool to add to any home garage. This is one of their upper end models but it has allowed me to effectively diagnose a problem clear the code and check to ensure the emission system reset. Highly recommended...

Reviews Equus 3130 Works as advertised

I am glad I decided to get this code reader. Even though the problem I have been having on my '99 Maxima did not display a "check engine" light, the reader picked up a code which related to changing my knock sensor. I also like the fact that it has live reading capabilities. Worth the investment for me.

Equus 3130 Best Reader for your $

For less than $200 you get a reader with a large backlit screen and one that can also give a live data feed from your car's sensors. It also supports CAN (controller area network) which by 2008 will be a new standard, a standard that Ford and foreign auto makers have already adopted. Did I mention it also comes with a serial cord to connect to your PC? This is a very fun DIY toy you'll enjoy for years.

Equus 3130 Excellent Diagnostic Device

I plugged this scanner into my Suburban to help me understand why the "check engine" light was on and in seconds it told me that the EGR valve circuit was giving a fault indication. I followed the procedure in the service manual and quickly determined it to be a bad EGR valve. Replacement took minutes. Entire job was over and done with in about 30 minutes counting the time it took to drive to the autoparts store and return. What a timesaver and in the longerun a hughe money saver too!!

Equus 3130 Very good scanner

This scanner is very good. Display live data very well with my Dodge Caravan 1997. I could see RPM, Load, MAP, temperatures and more while driving.

Equus 3130 Great Tool

Very good product. Small, light weight, easy to use unit. We were having difficulty reading codes on a Dodge SRT supercharged truck and this unit out performed a commercial unit that notably was several years old but had recently been software up dated (to the tune of over $1,000). We're planning to try the data log function next time at the track. I highly recommend this unit to commercial and drive way mechanics.

Equus 3130 OBDII Code Reader and Scanner

I am a DIY person and have done most maintenance and repairs on my vehicles for over 30 years. I had gotten tired of being charged $30-40 per event for reading and clearing Misc codes from my newer vehicles. Sometimes to have the shop tell me it was nothing but a temp misfire, fuel pressure fluxuation, etc... I read product reviews by others on this site and made my purchase. It is exactly what I had in mind and I should have it paid for in 3-4 events. I think the basic code reader could suit most people and give you some peace of mind and opportunities to avoid some shop OH costs. But I paid a little more for the ability to see real time data, to keep an eye on suspect O2 sensors etc...Anyone that knows a little about vehicles can benefit from this tool and there is plenty of educational info on the internet to bring you up to speed. This tool is very easy to use.

Equus 3130 Best bang for the buck

This scanner has amazing abilities considering the price. It has communicated with all OBD2 and Can Bus vehicles I have tried it on. I work at a dealership and use this scanner frequently. It is super fast at retrieving and clearing dtc's which is important when you work in the industry. It provides freeze frame for all codes that support freeze frame. It has many pids to display on the live data function, and the live data is relatively fast. I use this for everything from reading and clearing dtc's to making sure the ect pid stays steady when bleeding a cooling system to prevent overheating. My coworkers often ask to borrow it from me because it is so quick and easy to use compared with the factory scan tool we have. I have owned it for almost a year and have not had any issues with it.

Equus 3130 Diagnostic Code Scanner

This is a fantastic product. I have used it many times on my personal vehicles as well as friends and family cars, its more than paid for its self. The live data and record feature is very handy only if you know what your looking for. Most people who just want a code reader could bypass this and get the next model down without any loss of function. I found the users manual easy to read and understand. The scanner and included hardware are all of good quality, a case is a must to protect it. Anybody who has a 96 and newer vehicle should invest in a Equus code scanner.

Equus 3130 great code scanner

hey guys, im a gm technician and i got this scanner to keep in my tool box for when other makes of cars come in and i've now used it on 3 different vehicles and ive gotta tell you, this is probably the best scan tool i've used with the exception of professional grade tools from snap-on or mac that can cost 10 thousand or more. this is definately the right choice for anyone who needs a good tool for pulling codes.

im not sure how well it can read into the CAN systems to pull codes from various modules (such as transfer case control modules and things of that nature), but thats only because i havnt had a chance to try it on one with a known issue yet. as for the PCM, it's got a great library of codes, and the live data is something you typically dont see on tools like this. the live data info available for viewing varies but for most vehicles it includes the basics like throttle position, engine load, short term and long term fuel trim, mass air flow readings, and even oxygen sensor readings. this does not show extremely detailed pcm data, but for the weekend mechanic or anyone who needs a code puller or secondary scan tool, this is it. if youre looking for a hand held, you found the perfect match right here.

Equus 3130 Great OBD-II scanner/diag tool.

I originally ordered the Equus 3110, which is a great tool. I realized that the 3110 wasn't what I needed because it doesn't have the live data display or back lighting (I should have read further).
I ordered the 3130 yesterday and recieved it today. Let me tell you, this is a fantastic tool, especially considering the price. The back light feature is great for my old eyes. The "live data" display and record is wonderful for trouble shooting.
The included software is more than adequate. Remember, you are buying hardware. This is not meant to run your garage on. I say you can't go wrong with this gear.
