Inflation seems to have shrunk the value of the bills in our wallets. A hundred dollars used to go a long way to buying a quality tool. Fifty dollars seems to be worth even less. If you are uncertain, try stocking a single drawer on your tool cabinet for a hundred or fifty dollars.

 

It may come to you as a big surprise to know you can get a high quality Equus 3030 OBD II Code Scanner for less than fifty dollars. The OBD Code Scanner is designed especially for the do-it-yourself types that want to fix their cars or at least choose to repair their own vehicles or not.

 

The first thought for many mechanics or vehicle owners will probably be to question if this entry level model offers the critical diagnostic features needed on a robust OBD II Scanner.

 

 

The Equus 3030 OBD II Code Scanner looks simple with only three buttons, but that’s because of its expert design, which makes it easier to use—not less capable.

 

Making it simple, rather than difficult, Equus has packed the features of the big scanner into this state-of-the-art scanner. This tool is ready to plug and play with any car and truck’s OBD II interface manufactured after 1996. This covers domestic and foreign cars. New vehicles equipped with CAN readers are also readable using this model along with Equus’ larger models. Every error code related to a “check engine” light is automatically captured and displayed. Unlike other models, this device has the capability to turn off the “check engine” light as well.

 

The big, patented single-screen display technology informs it’s user of all necessary trouble codes as well as other important information. As the device traps error and some emission codes automatically, quick visual navigation tools link you to ASE certified technician recommendations for help in fixing problems. A USB connection keeps the scanner’s codes current over the internet.

A powerful backlit display can help in situations where lighting is poor or when you are using the device at night. The display and instructions offer multiple language formats including Spanish, French, and English.

 

This unit is very reasonably priced and can save a lot of time and money by identifying the right error code and helping you select the right components to fix. If you have only a few things in your toolbox, make sure the Equus 3030 Inova Diagnostic Code Reader OBD II is one of them.
