Tech 2 Purchase

[Rocket Man]

Thought this to be worth a mention... Be cautious with the cables on these. I can't say this is any different from clone to clone to genuine but mine did not appreciate repetitive flexing/twisting and shorted internally....

Though they are available for purchase separately I elected to fix mine as I like to fix things, only replacing when absolutely required....

That must have been a lot of flexing and twisting.

And again my Tech2 saves the day! Got a service suspension warning and knew where to look for the problem in 5 minutes.

And paid for itself again I bet!

I would have been guessing or going to the dealer without being able to read chassis codes. Got a suspected flakey actuator coil in an Arnott shock.

Could you give us a bit more detail on your issue and how you solved it, including the code numbers that were thrown? I just started to have the same warning, but I have not hooked up my Tech 2 to start my diagnosis.

Thanks in advance.

Can’t program modules with those though, can you? I need to program new BCM’s, HVAC controls, door switch modules etc.

I thought only a Tech2 could program modules. Have you actually done it?
