Skip Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi John, thanks for the update. I to am going to get one, a guy has one for sale that is close to my residence. Please do post when you find the way to keep it from auto shut down. I have a problem with that feature on a gauge that is used to monitor so many outputs. Maybe Nipper or one of the other users will explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I bought it from the guy, above, on eBay. Received it in a few days. Finally got around to hooking it up on my '98 OBW. After brushing a foot of snow off the car so I could get in, I started it up and the check engine light stayed on. I hooked up the Scangauge according to the manual, and it showed "No Codes". I checked the stored codes - "None found". :-\ Okay, so I look at the dash ... the check engine light was off! Well, actually cool! I didn't have to clear it or anything. I finished digging the car out and drove it around the neighborhood a little (not much salt on the roads right now, so I went for it). This is a cool little tool, seems to work well. It keeps shutting off after 10 seconds, I wonder if there is a way to stop that, so it just keeps reading? You can change the backlight color - I've got mine set on blue, and it will fit nicely just under the stock stereo (need to route the cable nicely). So far, I like it. Money well spent. John Wilke Milwaukee i know im going to speak of blasphamy here, but go back and read the directions. There is a setting to keep it on while the car is on. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I have the Equus model 3110 reader and the new 3130 scanner. They are great I think. So far I have not needed them for my Subaru but I have used them on a few friends vehicles that showed some error lights. I recommend them if anyone is looking to purchase one. I purchased both of them through Ebay at significantly reduced retail prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guydakine Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Disconnect battery for 10-15 minutes, it will go out. If it comes back go to Auto Zone, most likely the speedo.. Then with the high mileage it could be a number of things,, Auto Zone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
