What's a good Code Scanner?

[Morales]

I've got about $30 bucks worth of credit at Autozone and I want to pick up a Code Scanner for my Mustang. What's a good unit? If Autozone doesnt have it, then point me in the right direction. Yes I am aware I can do it for free... but id rather have the ease of the scanner. Thanks in advance

I bought one for about $30 from Wally-Mart. It works well. Not sure what Autozone has but if you've got Autozone bucks then check em out.

I got the one at wal-mart like daggar is talking about. I think they have them at autozone as well. They work great.

is there an LCD screen that shows you the codes? how does it work? What brand is the walmart one.. the one at autozone is Actron i believe

 

[Daggar]

Yes... LCD display that shows codes as they occur and differentiates between pop up codes and the EEC's stored codes. It also has indicators that tell you when the reader is 'getting' a code from the EEC.

Actron Ford Code Scanner CP 9015 is a good one also.

Or for a nicer scanner see http://www.midwayautosupply.com/detailedproductdescription.asp?3829 – It has a 3 digit LCD display so that you don’t have to count flashes or beeps.. Cost is $35.
