Code reader in magazine. (Read 941 times)

jamesb Ex Member	Code reader in magazine. 23.02.2012 at 21:40:01 Noted the Launch Creader in this months magazine, cant seem to find that particular type? Have looked at Gendan products, What is best type to have for S-type 2005 year? Some priced as low as £37 appear to do a lot? I need it to read likes of faulty reverse sensor (again 3rd time). Many thankf for any advice.

Remember though that OBDII / EOBD is for emmissions control related faults and may not read something like a reverse sensor fault. That would need a more sophisticated device and / or Jaguar software.

Reply #2 - 25.02.2012 at 12:23:20 I have an OB11 code reader/scanner, which is quite handy to point one in the right direction, but cannot reset service lights or put rear brakes into service mode...is there a PC based software that I can purchase at a reasonable cost... my laptop runs XP..

Avoid the software from E bay that you can read on your laptop via an OBD11adaptor. I bought a CD and it was riddled with Trojans and other viruses !! Angry

Thankfully my Kaspery Pro software detected it.

Hi Everyone, I bought my new code reader from Fleabay for just £18.99 plus £3.95 P&P just in case I ever need it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230644533100?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1... These code readers only read engine management fault codes. Supertrev . .
