Actron OBD-l Scanner

They have this Actron OBD-l scanner at Autozone for about $30. Has anyone tried this? I'm almost positive that it just beeps out codes for that price, just like the Check Engine light is capable of doing. Is it in any way easier to interpret than the old check engine light test?

Scanner

I like the buzzer noise as a backup to the little LED on mine. It just makes it easier to count those pesky codes.

I got my Innova code scanner at schucks/kroger/checker (whatever it is in your area) for $35.00. it has an LCD display that actually shows the code numbers. Model #3145. very easy to use and understand, and no counting flashes and/or beeps.
