scangauge

Any of you guys with scangauge have any issues reading codes? Mine will not read codes. But my SCT will read codes. So I know I have a code or two, but my scangauge won't pick em up

It only reads basic codes. Many codes require more expensive readers, autoenguity is highly useful and worth the $$$ riffraff diesel is also a site sponsor..

I was just told that the SGII has problems reading codes '03 and early '04 not certain why but it apparently has a history of that....

I tried it and isn't displaying anything, just blank

The SG2 is a horrible code reader period, doesn't matter make or model.

I find the SCT Tuner to do a very good job pulling pending and hard set codes.
