I bought a CANOBDII for 106.00 drive out at Wallmart. Works on both. I would have bought a autoenginuity but it cost more and there was none around here. Welcome to CanOBD2!

I am getting AutoEnginuity and that can do all vehicles of a certain make for about 400 and you can get all the manufacture packages and scan any vehicle, but that is a lot of money.

Does this scanner work on our diesel engines? Thanks in advance.

I've heard conflicting reports on the CAN scanners. Will it pull the diesel codes, or just the standard OBDII ones? How many sensors have you tried unplugging to see what codes get tripped?
