Equus 3130 Nice Scanner

Good scanner but a bit pricey and it doesn't monitor both my o2 sensor's like some of the cheaper Chinese models do. It may if I get the $100+ update but I seem to remember it will only add abs. Besides that, it has a warranty, it's well made and comes with all you need. USB would have been nice instead of serial though. All in all, a good device and you have the comfort of a warranty.

Equus 3130 Happy with the product

I purchased the 3130 recently and have already used it several times. The Scan Tool works very quickly to link to the vehicle and run the diagnostic programs. The written code explanation is nice, and it gives you precise trouble-shooting information when you actually do have a problem. The universal plug is easy to connect to the car's computer and the backlit display is a function that has been wonderful - especially when checking codes is usually done after work in the evening. It is amazing at how many friends' have vehicles with 'Check Engine Light' problems after telling them I now have a scan tool. So far, I have 'saved' several trips to the mechanic's shop, and fortunately, been able to resolve the check engine code issues by myself. Clearing fault codes after repairs is accomplished with the push of a button. Simple. Shop rates in my area are $90/Hour and the purchase of this tool has ultimately helped me keep more money in my pocket - and that is a good thing!

Equus 3130 Good product

Very pleased, works great, and does what its advertised to do... would buy it again... was at least 30% the price of the same model in the store.
