Equus 3130 Great addition to an amateur's toolbox!

This is my first scanner. I've been a backyard mechanic for 20 years. Mainly replacing brake pads, radios & other little stuff. My diesel excursion just went out of warranty and of course the check engine light came on. Plugged this thing in, it came up with code & brief description instantly. It also showed all the parameters when the fault occurred. With the software included I quickly found the full description of the fault. Then I went on the internet and found a fairly easy technical service bulletin to fix the problem. When I'm done I'll easily be able to clear the code. Great addition to my toolbox! The version I received gives an upgrade for ABS check. I'm sure I'll need that too someday.
