Look up the Foxwell NT510, it will do it.the nice thing is you can add other vehicles.
This is a brand I had not heard of! I like the idea that you can pick a brand and get lifetime free software updates (as long as they really DO update the software; web site states they support 2014/2015 model year. Hmmm) I also like that it can do live data AND bi-directional testing. The small size screen is ridiculous! The cost of tablets is ridiculously cheap now (new Amazon Fire HD 10 is $150 when it starts shipping next month). Any company still making a device with its own screen and WAY behind the curve and will never be able to keep up. Between Buetooth, WiFi and USB 3, you can quickly and easily pretty much connect anything to anything.
Bosch seems to want to be a 'player' in the market. They now own Actron and OTC (at least the scanners) and likely others. The best scanners are still out of the price range of a shade tree guy like myself. Edit: The DOES look a lot like the. Color and shape is a bit different, but the size and buttons names appear identical. This is a brand I had not heard of!

Color and shape is a bit different, but the size and buttons names appear identical. I don’t think the updates are free for life but they do update regularly (I own one with bmw and Toyota software) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk.

Hmmm) I also like that it can do live data AND bi-directional testing. When I researched scanners, I learned that all of the lower priced (vs. Pro) models lag 2 to 4 years behind in updates. Bosch/Actron/OTC was the worst, stopping at 2013.
I bought the Autel Diaglink for $87 this spring. Like the Foxwell, you add the brands you desire at $10 each. The Diaglink scans ALL systems (tranny, etc.), but does not have bidirectional capacity of the Foxwell. When I researched scanners, I learned that all of the lower priced (vs.

Yeah, the foxwell is cool when you start digging into control units.you have the ability to test functions like windows, lights, cooling fans and tpms. On bmw it’s handy because you can code modules and relearn parameters of actuators (valvetronic) and register new batteries. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk.
When you get any 'Check Engine' light warnings in your vehicle, you can identify the source of the trouble using the Equus 3150 Innova ABS + Professional Diagnostic Code Scanner. This powerful OBD2 tool can be used on any 1996 and newer car, light truck or SUV, both foreign and domestic. This professional diagnostic scanner can also be used to diagnose ABS codes in 1996 and newer GM, Ford and Chrysler vehicles. The unique patented all-in-one screen display on this auto diagnostic code scanner lets you check state emissions quickly. The LED display lets you view all the information clearly.
When connected to the vehicle, this ABS code scanner updates information every 30 seconds so that you can verify repair completion immediately. The code is displayed in English, French or Spanish in this user-friendly device. Worked as advertised for me. Simple to use, very straightforward and logical. The Walmart.com web site advertised the base model 3150 for sale for a very reasonable price-I was pleasantly surprised to receive the updated 3150b model. So far it has worked well diagnosing issues on Ford and Jeep products. The only negative issue was the lack of the owners' manual for the product in the package.
Fortunately, a pdf file of the manual is available on the Innova website-88 pages to print off. I do recommend this item. The two drawbacks in my purchasing experience with Walmart.com are: 1. A standard so called stock item should not take over two weeks to be delivered 300 miles.
In this day and age, that is totally unacceptable practice. The shipping/tracking information was never updated by Walmart.com during the two week plus time frame.
I found out it had been delivered to my local store by accident-otherwise I would probably be waiting for the item 4 weeks later?!!! I thought this was a good scan tool based on the information provided. I verified that it would work on a 2003 Taurus to read ABS codes.
Innova through their website and tech support confirm it should work. When I received the unit, it is unable to retrieve any ABS codes on this car. I called tech support and all they could tell me is that their information says it should work. The tech told me that the problem was most likely a blown ABS lamp fuse. I knew the fuse was not blown, but rechecked all fuses. Called tech support back and the 2nd tech told me again that it should work. After about 15 minutes of trying various workarounds and verification that the unit had the most current firmware update, they agreed that it did not work.

The solution was, sorry, we will submit a request for additional support, call back in two weeks to see if anything has been resolved. Really, that is considered tech support? Finally, the tech told me that a solution may not be available for two months to two years, no actual real idea of when, just keep calling back every two weeks or so. After my surprise ended and I asked if they realized how silly that was, I was told that the only way they could solve the problem would be for them to get a 2003 Taurus, with the same VIN specs, and try to recreate the issue.
I said that does not seem like reality and the tech recommended that I return the product. Great customer service.
Unfortunely there are Issues with compatibility and Innova has no idea what they are doing.
