Valuable New Features
Based on the original and best selling CP9135, the next generation CP9175 has important additional features. In addition to allowing users to view data in English, Spanish, or French, the CP9175 is also Internet updateable. Plus, it displays freeze frame data, which provides a "snapshot" of the vehicle's operating conditions at the time of the fault.

The Data You Need
With more functions than other code readers available in the automotive aftermarket at comparable cost, the CP9175 easily retrieves diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer, leading you to the problem area. The scanner is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present.

The CP9175 is fully updateable, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their definitions. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive.

The CP9175 is simple and easy to use. The attached OBD II 16-pin connector cable provides both data and power connections, while the eight-foot cable and rugged housing are both oil- and grease-resistant for added durability. The scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. And thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery you can review the data you've gathered from the vehicle anywhere you please.

Use the Monitor Status and I/M readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance with a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards.

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 simple "hot keys" that are used to read and erase DTCs, make the CP9175 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.

The scanner comes with CD software that contains more than 3,000 diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their descriptions.

Well worth the money
 
Review Date: December 13, 2007
Reviewer: James Z, Folsom, CA
My daughters engine light came on in her 2002 Camry. She took it to the Toyota dealer and they said the catalytic conver was bad. The repair would cost $1100.
I purchased the Actron code scanner to verify what the dealer was telling her. The error code indicated her catalytic converter was below the operating threshold. I orderd a catalytic conver from the internet and replaced it in just over an hour. I reset the engine light with the CP9175 and she was back in business.
Not long ago the engine light came on in my 1998 Camry, I took it to the dealer and was charged $590 to replace the oxygen sensor. If I had known what was wrong I could have ordered the part from the Internet for $120 and and it would have taken all of 15 mins to replace.
Make sure the code scanner you buy will reset the engine light (this model will). The error code read out by the CP9175 is very basic, but that's all that is needed. It will let you know what sensor/area is causing the engine light.

I've used this Actron CP9175 AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner with Freeze Frame Data for OBDII (Post-1996) Vehicles, on a 2001 Lincoln towncar and a 1999 BMW Z3. In both cases, the device performed flawlessly, and I'm very pleased with the ease of use.
Works as advertised, already saved the purchase price

Reviewer: JJD, Londonderry, NH
VIP wanted 133.99 for this unit. I had time so I purchased it here with super saver shipping. Took 4 business days to get it. (FAST)

Successfully determined the cause of the check engine light on my daughter's 2003 Corolla thereby saving the $90.00 charged by Toyota to hook up and retrieve codes. Voila! Paid for!
It's nice to be able to know with certainty what system is malfunctioning.
Look up the code online and now you've got enough info to begin zeroing in on the failing components for test or replacement.
The CP9175 also operated perfectly on my 99 Buick Regal and my wife's 2004 Honda Accord.
Now a "CHECK ENGINE" light doesn't necessarily mean a big bill.
I save money next time I need to use it!
Code Green- Buy It

Reviewer: Howard S. Frierman, upstate NY
If you have the need to see what is happening under the hood by tapping into your car's computer, then this item would serve you well. It is very well made; comes with a good book explaining codes and how to use the device, and Actron's support is superb (I had a question when I got it; emailed them and they got back to me within hours!). The unit reads codes, erases false codes, including that 'check engine light' icon that comes on for no reason every once in a while, and it even will review your car's emissions before going to inspection. For the price of the unit, it's just a great find.

Not to sound like a copycat, but it does what its supposed to do. Read codes, erase codes, run low-level diagnostics. You probably can't run a repair shop with it, but it certainly will add a level to your shadetree shop.
