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
Actron CP9190 OBD II/I Elite AutoScanner Pro diagnostic code scanner, OBD II cable, GM OBD I ALDL cable, Ford OBD I MCU/EEC-IV cable, Chrysler OBD I SCI cable, USB cable, 8-foot extension cable, cigarette lighter adapter, blow molded hard case, manual, professional companion CD, batteries, and registration card.

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.

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 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good way to set performance baseline for your cazr, January 19, 2007
This product allows you to capture data from the ODBC II port on most newer vehicles. I found it easy to use and I'm the kind of person who will log data from all my cars and keep it for future reference. When the car isn't running right, I'll use the old data for diagnosis. My only complaint is that the CarChip only logs 4 signals in addition to vehicle speed and only a small set of the available signals. I'd rather it log more signals at once. For that, I'd be happy to trade off how long it can log data for more signals. For example, with a Chevy V8 engine, you cannot log the fuel trim for both cylinder banks and all 4 O2 sensor signals at the same time.

By FordFan (NY USA) - See all my reviews
Very good product. Small, light weight, easy to use unit. We were having difficulty reading codes on a Dodge SRT supercharged truck and this unit out performed a commercial unit that notably was several years old but had recently been software up dated (to the tune of over $1,000). We're planning to try the data log function next time at the track. I highly recommend this unit to commercial and drive way mechanics.

I plugged this scanner into my Suburban to help me understand why the "check engine" light was on and in seconds it told me that the EGR valve circuit was giving a fault indication. I followed the procedure in the service manual and quickly determined it to be a bad EGR valve. Replacement took minutes. Entire job was over and done with in about 30 minutes counting the time it took to drive to the autoparts store and return. What a timesaver and in the longerun a hughe money saver too!!

Auto Scanner

Actron CP9175 AutoScanner Diagnostic


Product Description


The CP9175 is the next generation of Actron Scan tools. The CP9175 has more features and benefits than other code readers on the market and is a major step-up from our very popular CP9135 tool.

The CP9175 is trilingual (displays in English, Spanish or French) and easily links to your 1996 and later OBDII compliant vechicle, American and import cars and trucks. Large easy-to-read LCD screen allows you to view the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their descriptions as generated by your vehicles onboard computers, leading you to the trouble area.

It displays freeze frame data ( snapshot of the operating conditions at time of fault),erases the DTC and turns off the Check Engine Light! I/M readiness test allows you to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. This is an excellent function to use prior to having your vehicle inspected for compliance to state emissions programs.

All emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle which has the check engine light lit at the time of the test. It will also alert you to any pending DTC codes and reads the Malfuction Indicator Lamp status. The menu driven interface combined with "hot keys"allows for quick and easy use. Includes CD software that contains an additional 3,000 DTCs and their descriptions. The tool is internet updateable, accomodating future vehicles with the addition of the Actron CP9137 cable (sold separately).
