Amazon.com Product Description
Is your car's check engine light on? If it is, your car is trying to tell you something and the Actron CP9145 Super AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner speaks its language. Use this scanner to unlock the information stored in your car's computer. Whenever your check engine light is on, the device can pinpoint the problem so you can fix it fast and be on your way.

The Actron CP9145 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View details.

The user interface is designed for ease of use and quick control of scanning functions.

Turn off that distracting "check engine" light.

The scanner allows you to easily retrieve, read, and erase OBD II trouble codes, as well as display and read live vehicle data for a faster diagnosis. With optional cables, you can also retrieve OBD I codes and live data for 1984-95 Ford and GM models, and 1989-95 Chrysler models. This sophisticated, yet extremely user-friendly tool includes the CP9145 base unit and can be used on OBD II compliant cars and light trucks sold in the U.S. from 1996 to present. Plus, the tool is fully upgradeable, accommodating future vehicles.

The CP9145 is built tough for both shop and road test use. It also 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 scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap, including live engine data parameters (PIDs). Built-in help screens help you interpret the data, and you can view freeze frame data, which provides a "snapshot" of the vehicle's operating conditions at the time of the fault. Meanwhile, an internal 9-volt battery stores the latest test results for later review.

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.

The scanner comes with CD software that contains 5,000 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their descriptions.

Super AutoScanner CP9145, OBD II cable, 8-foot extension cable, manual/CD-ROM with over 5,000 code definitions, and soft carrying case.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   50 of 62 people found the following review helpful: Disappointing, for the money, March 29, 2006 By  Karl (California, USA) - See all my reviews I am a do-it-yourselfer, and I bought the Actron CP9145 to help me diagnose problems, when dashboard "idiot lights" are flashing and such. Well, I've now had the opportunity to try it out with four different cars (3 Fords and 1 Volkswagen), and I must say, I expected a lot more functionality, for the money. In all cases the device did interact with the cars' computers properly, reading operational statistics like fluid temperature, car speed, O2 sensors, etc. However when it came to diagnosing real problems, it was only helpful if the "Check Engine" light was on (it told me I had an emissions system leak). It is useless in diagnosing other idiot lights (in my case, air bag, cruise control and 4WD system lights). Other issues: the accompanying software CD is a joke (It just looks up codes and gives you the same one-liner message you get from any manual. Why not a nice monitoring application, with a time-based graph?), no power adapter was provided, and even the carrying case had a broken zipper. I think an OBD-II scanner is still useful for diagnosing "Check Engine" conditions. But my recommendation is to save half your money and buy a low-end tool.   48 of 55 people found the following review helpful: Actron 9145 Scanner, January 12, 2005 By  M. Pitoniak "mikepit" (Collierville, TN) - See all my reviews    Outstanding unit. Does all that the dealer does and charges you $90 for. Use 3-4 times and your money is paid back. Know what the problem is and buy the necessary repair parts to fix yourself. Save hundreds and have the satisfaction the job was done right. Definitely use the computer disc and read the manual. Great product and easy to follow manual. Highly recommend if your car/truck is out of warranty.   11 of 11 people found the following review helpful: Quck and Easy, December 15, 2006 By  Kuyper@AWS "w i d e s c r e e n __ fan" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews Well packaged, in a vinyl zipper bag which tucks the manual and CD safely in a compartment, the unit itself is held in place with a velcro strap. It also comes with an extender interface cable to allow you to place the scanner on the passenger seat. I had a check engine light on and isolated the problem (rear O2 sensor) within minutes. Next up I need to replace it, check again and clear the code. Hopefully this will be as easy as it's been up to now. Two features I'd like to see are a contrast control for the LCD screen and a backlight for low-light use. I was checking my car after work and it was dark out. The dome light in my car worked, but with LCD screens a backlight would make better sense. [see comment for the outcome of post-replacement of the failed O2 sensor] Share your thoughts with other customers:  › See all 41 customer reviews...
