Hey guys...Just had my 'Check Engine' light come on last night I am thinking of buying a scanner. Which one do you use/recommend? I want one that will clear the 'Service' light (if not too expensive) and that I can use on my Mustang.

 

Was just looking at this one:

I would get a ScanGauge 2. It will give you real time information about what is going on with your car and when needed, you can scan the ECU for codes and reset it. As for the service light, you should be able to reset it without a scanner.

 

Thanx...The OBDCOM also does do real-time and is about $70 cheaper. It was to my understanding that you could only reset the service light without a scanner on the OBD I cars ('94 & '95). The '96 and up (such as mine) needed a special scanner. Resetting the service light isn't must, it's just an annoyance. It'd just be a nice extra to have.
