Customer Reviews

A great digital multimeter5
I have owned a few multimeters, and even built one when I took an electronics course many years ago. This is the best one I have owned.
This beauty has great features, large readout, and has a protective case to help avoid damage should it be dropped.
One can even strap the meter to your arm during use to have it handy. The instruction manual is clear and concise and the price is right.

Very cool!4
It's a great product for your money.
I use it in my car and the chores around the house.
You have to have one of these units if you are planning to do any electrical work.

If you need a meter.5
I have several meters but this one has it all.
Since I retired this is used mostly for battery checks.
Easy to read and the leads are a nice length.
The speaker and the stand with the wrist band makes it easy to use.

LOVE IT!!!5
It is simple to use, cant use it enough.
Glad i chose it over the 3120. Best product for the money, and then some.

Works great4
Got this unit yesterday.
Worked on both my OBD1 vehicles (Toyota and Ford) just fine. I was impressed with the extra tests for the OBD1 ford EEC.
Just beware those that buy this product, check the compatability with your vehicles before purchase, and update the software on the code reader.
Purchase a usb to serial plug also

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
The Actron CP9190 OBD II/I Elite AutoScanner Pro Diagnostic Code Scanner is an enhanced scan tool that is loaded with many professional features.
If you are new to diagnostic scanners, this handy tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer.
But even if you're a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you'll be impressed with the new functionality that Actron has added to the CP9190.
This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to freeze-frame live timing and pinpoint your vehicle's problem.
Instead of having to recreate a scenario over and over again, you can now playback the timing to scrutinize all the data and make a clear diagnosis.
Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand.
Like its little brother, the Actron CP9180, the CP9190 is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present, but the Elite AutoScanner goes a step further and is even compatible with certain pre-1996 GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles.



The Actron CP9190 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View larger.


TrueLink Technology assures a fast and accurate diagnostic output.


The Elite AutoScanner comes loaded with cables and a hard case. View larger.
In addition, the CP9190 fully updateable via the Internet, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, graphic, easy-to-read backlit screen that shows the trouble code and its definition. And although you still have to fix the problem that your scanner detects, this device will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive. Every Actron scan tool and code reader incorporates CAN (Controller Area Network) and the patented TrueLink Technology which guarantees the tool will link to and communicate with every OBD II compliant vehicle. This assures a fast and accurate diagnostic output -- a key ingredient to an effective repair.

The CP9190 is simple and easy to use. The included OBD I/II cables provide both data and power connections, while the USB cable offers a quick and easy way to connect your scanner to your PC.
In addition to connecting to the computer for Internet updates, you'll also appreciate the CP9190's USB connectivity because it makes printing DTCs and other information a breeze. Once the scanner is connected to your vehicle, the user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. This device displays OBD II enhanced functionality with graph data (1996 and newer), O2 monitor tests, state emissions, and even reads, records and displays live sensor data so you know what's happening with your vehicle as you make adjustments.
Other features include an OBD II code library built right into the tool, an OBD II drive cycle mode, battery power so you can review diagnostic data even when the scanner is disconnected from your vehicle, and a trilingual (English, Spanish, French) mode.

Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test -- even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up.
With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms. The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with the simple keypad used to read, erase, and navigate DTCs, make the CP9180 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.

What's in the Box

Customer Reviews

Review of Actron 9190 4
I found the 9190 to be a great tool. It provides all the data I was looking for and displays in graph form data streems that I was needing to see.
The Snap On scantools are much more exspensive and the Actron makes looking into ones own car service affordable. Thanks Actron

Excellent Product!4
I brought this product twice as gifts for family memebers. This product is very handy and works great.

Actron CP9190 Elite5
Works great. Has already paid for itself in helping to diagnose problems several times. Clear instructions and very easy to use.
All of my vehicles are out of warranty now and I must attempt to repair myself. Being an old shade tree mechanic and not very up to date on the newer systems, this tool has helped me come up to speed.
Most of the dealers and shops around here want at least 75 bucks just for a diagnostic check. At the very least this tool will allow you to see what codes are present and help give you a leg up on those high and mighty service writers at the shops.

Customer Reviews

Really Great Product5
Extreemly valuable home improvement and trouble shooting tool.
Check appliances and circuits for correct draw and deterioation.
Well worth the price

Handy Little Item5
Bought this item and tried it, It seems to work very well.
I read a post complaining that the timer etc started as soon as it was plugged in....well, it does do that, but the instructions say to push the RESET key to start the readings from zero.
The only downside is I wish it had a battery so you could unplug the unit and the item you're testing to easier look at your readings.
(Some things I tested cover the readings while testing) I don't have a huge use for it, but it is very interesting to compare what different items use power wise.
This model is better than the cheaper model because of the more detailed power consumption / cost calculations it does. Glad I bought this unit.

Works great; fast results.5
I was amazed at some of the things I found around the house that draw power just sitting there doing nothing.
This thing is easy to figure out and program in your cost per Kwh.

A couple of things I found by using this device:
-- the entertainment center costs me $11 a year to have just sit there in standby mode.
This is a 32" LCD TV, surroundsound system, DVD player, Wii, and subwoofer all plugged into a Monster HTS 1000 MKIII PowerCenter with Clean Power Stage 2 (8 AC outlet, 2 coax, phone & network). If I watch a DVD or play the Wii, it costs me 40 cents a day, or about 3.33 cents an hour.
-- My gaming computer (Dual Core, 500 watt power supply and 19" LCD) cost me $99 a year to run 24 hours a day, 6 days a week.
That includes the occasional laser printing and occasional 2.1 speaker usage.
So I turn it off more often.
-- Cell phone charger: .86 cents a year, but when charging it costs me $1.73 a year.
-- New coffee pot costs me between 5-7 cents to brew a pot of coffee and let it sit for a couple hours.
-- Toaster at 350-degrees costs me about 11 cents an hour.
-- Dell laptop charger costs me about $1.70 a year to keep it plugged in. It's about a penny and hour to charge the laptop's battery.
-- NOAA handheld weather radio costs 86 cents a year to run 24/7

In the end, it seems like it is only really worth the trouble to unplug the entertainment center when not in use and turn off the computer more often. Sure, everything draws power, but we factored in the hassle of it versus the cost.

We have been unplugging stuff around the house when we are not using it, and began to wonder how much we are saving.
This thing has helped out in deciding what's worth going through the hassle of unplugging each time, and the results are almost instantaneous.
I highly recommend using this device to settle the score in the fight against wasted energy usage or even in helping decide which devices/appliances around your house aren't worth owning due to ridiculous power draws.

I'm still testing more items around the house, so check back later for updates.

Editorial Reviews

Willie Figueroa / DiabloSport
I love this book! By helping me to diagnose the manufacturer's proprietary P1455 fault, it paid for itself immediately.

Johnny "Lightning" Wiker
I keep this book in my toolbox. I don't know how I identified engine faults in the past!

Frank Ortiz / Foreign Affairs Auto, West Palm Beach
My shop mostly repairs foreign cars. Still, this book has become our OBD II Bible!

Customer Reviews

Not what I needed1
I was looking for hardcore material on OBD.
I too was fooled by the preview. You can find the same info on the Internet.
The book publishers have done a fantastic job of packaging and making an ordinary book with common information look exceptional.
What people want to know is how to use the information in the powertrain control module to solve problems. This book simply tells you what's available in OBD 2 not what to do with the info. Pages are devoted to OBD 2 codes that can be found on the Internet. If you need a glossy intro to OBD 2 this is it.

Doesn't deliver the goods1
This book doesn't reveal any secrets,or for that matter much information.
It is rather long on OBD II theory and has a fairly good chapter on scan tool selection but falls far short in the diagnostic department.
I had hoped this book would have information on acceptable sensor values, troubleshooting / diagnostic charts, etc.
As far as diagnosis goes, this book is just one small step ahead of a trouble code chart. Since most of the newer scan tools incorporate this information in the tool itself I would recommend that you save the price of this book and apply it to a better tool.

Not what I expected3
I thought from reading the sample pages that this book would explain codes and a brief explanation as to what to check for each code.
It was more of an overview of ODBII with some details I could use.

Customer Reviews

Sunforce 500444
I received the product in what appeared to be the original shipping carton from China. Although packed very well in bubble rap and Styrofoam the box contained two broken panels and a wire that did not conduct current. Amazon did a fine job sending me the replacement parts and provided a means to ship back the broken items.

I would suggest that you purchase a multimeter to check your set-up otherwise, as was my initial situation, it is nearly impossible to determine the failure when your system does not work. After receipt of the replacement parts and testing I got the system up and running.
It does what it is advertised to do...produce "up to" 60 watts of power.
I believe it is a fine starter kit for small duty solar power production and projects. The price is comparatively fair and contains all you need to get started except the testing meter. Yes, as previously mention by a reviewer, the bolts provided rust very quickly.

Nice easy to install small system5
I wasn't expecting much from this system, but I'm very happy with it.
The installation was a breeze.
Only thing is, one of the support legs on the PVC stand was glued down and now I can't adjust the angle. Still works ok. Hooked it up to marine deep cycle batter and it does what I need it to.

Replace the mounting hardware4
The panels themselves are well-made and produce more than the rated amount of juice.
They arrived intact, sandwiched in slabs of styrofoam.
I am happy with them. The voltage regulator works. The wiring, fan-in dongle, etc., are all reasonable.
Everything else that came with the order is non-recyclable toxic waste - do with it what you will.

The mounting screws are FAKE CHINESE STAINLESS STEEL and start rusting the moment you place them outdoors, staining everything below them with indelible streaks of rust.
If you want to use the included mounting frames (and why would you?) then go to a hardware store, and get some true stainless 10-24-3" Philips screws and nylock nuts.
It will set you back US$15.
The 1.5" PVC frames are functional but ugly and sloppy-looking; I don't know why anyone would want to use them either.
The inverter that's thrown in with the order is junk.
I "smoke-tested" mine, and, indeed it started smoking! The instructions enclosed with the panels say something like "the included inverter, should you choose to use it" says it all.

It almost seems like the panels and the charger are made by competent people, and everything else ("the kit") by a bunch of ___ .

Customer Reviews

I love this5
Just got married, left home needed tools, saw this in wal-mart and pick it up. Gald I did my car battery died tested it with the on borad tester and charged it up I was happy. My alternator went out tested it, replaced it, Again I very happy man. My wife now of a few happy years and a son latter was on our way out the door to the mini van and it would not crank 5 mins. later the speed/charger saved the day once agin.( A HINT for those other guys just like myself hook it up to the battery first then plug it in it will work )

Stay away from this charger!1
Stay far, far, far, away from this charger. I walked away from tested, good, low charge battery being charged on the 8amp setting connected to a 750CCA regular car battery and when I came back a couple hours later it was boiling and still trying to charge! I checked the charge voltage and it was at 16 volts (measured with a Fluke meter)! Bad, very bad, charger and not automatic or smart at all.

charger1
charger is ok but the number of charger is too close to the 12000a. Wanted 12000a got 1200a. Pay attention, seller home & beyond are not customer friendly.

Customer Review of Equus 3140 Innova Diagnostic Code Scanner

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!!, February 17, 2008
It is simple to use, cant use it enough. Glad i chose it over the 3120. Best product for the money, and then some.

5.0 out of 5 stars how to update, January 13, 2008
My 3140 arrived with PC_SOFTWARE 1.32, and FIRMWARE 1.01
To update:
Install the software from the CD onto your computer, connect the tool to the PC, and turn on the tool. A "USB Serial Adapter" such as Keyspan High Speed USB Serial Adapter ( USA-19HS ) makes this much easier.
Select "Update" from the PC software menu --- and it will say a PC_SOFTWARE update is available, but your hardware is "up to date".
Download the new PC software (17 mb file), install, and run it.
Hit "Update" again now, and it will say that a FIRMWARE update is available. Download the new 'BIN' file (2 mb), and install it in the tool as outlined in the directions.
Currently I have PC_SOFTWARE 1.33, and FIRMWARE 1.02

5.0 out of 5 stars Equus 3140, November 8, 2007
By Scott "3 Sho's"(Conowingo, Md.) - See all my reviews
I needed a test unit capable of testing older cars as well as OBD II equiped units. I live in an emissions state and had a SES light on in a '97 Taurus SHO I recently bought for commutes to work. I also had a pending test date for emissions on my wifes 2002 AWD Town & Country. I used it to easily confirm a positive emissions compliance on the van, and a bad rear O2 on the car. I've used it on a friends S-10 to find an Evap problem. I have several pre 1995 cars which I have not tested yet, but have all the connectors for included in the purchase. The definition is on the screen when the unit displays the code. There is no need to look up the definition. I've hooked up to a Ford, Chrysler and Chevy and had results in seconds. Very easy to use. Like any car diagnostics a manual or subscription to a car service should be used with this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Scan tool for a great price, September 18, 2007
By J(USA) - See all my reviews
I've been working on cars a while now and I've used a few of these type of code readers/scanners (Snap-on and Mac) and I've found that this one does almost everything you would expect a pro model to do and a price that can't be beat. Shows everything you really need to know, the screen is very large and easy to read, the button layout is good, but can be confusing at first, there should have been an extra button or two as some of the controls do double or triple duty, you have to read the manual and have it on hand until you get used to the controls. I've used it right away to diagnose a problem in my late model truck and have plugged it in to a number of makes and models with great success. It's results are almost as detailed as say the Snap-on, but it costs 1/10 the price! The included software is nice, but not as full featured as it should be in saving data results. I highly recommend doing a firmware update to the unit, mine shipped with firmware 1.0 and the new firmware v2 adds some extra diagnostic functions, such as advanced DTC codes for some makes and updates the DTC code library in the unit, the unit seemed to read live data faster as well. Being able to read OBD I codes is a plus, but there are many limitations on the makes and models, a glaring omission is the lack of Nissan OBD I (Just because I own a older Nissan!). I do all my own repairs and would highly recommend this unit. The unit comes with two nylon cases, one for the unit, OBD II cable, manual and the other for pc serial cable and OBD I adapters and the cases zip together for easy transport. I do have one big complaint, this is 2007, who uses serial connectors anymore? my laptop does not even have one, I have to go out and buy a serial to USB2.0 adapter, it works well and the unit synced fine with my laptop with the adapter, but you would figure that they would have put the serial connector to rest by now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Closest thing to the $5000 dollar machines., September 18, 2007
By Ben(Delmar, MD) - See all my reviews
This machine will tell you your check engine light and give you live data for checking the components as they are transmitting their info. I use the the expensive model at work, quite frankly when it comes to hook up and code reading this machine is simpler and quicker. I realize the expensive model has the abs & body control features and can do a lot of other functions; but work on the side is mainly the "check engine" lights. The price on this computer from Amazon cannot be beat, for having this type of technology.
