Actron CP9550 Pocket Scan Plus has saved me money.

Actron CP9550 Pocket Scan Plus has saved me money.
This code reader has saved me money so far, by telling me that minor things that I can fix (loose gas cap) are the source of a code light, saving me a trip to the dealer. It has also been useful in diagnosing other car problems that I had, later confirmed when I brought it to the dealer.

Actron CP9550 Pocket Scan Plus Works great on 2003 Dodge Dakota.
I bought this to help me detect the reason my check engine light was on in my 2003 Dodge Dalota truck. I opened the package, read the simple instructions, plugged it into the car and quickly read my error codes. Did some quick research on the internet, and within 20 minutes looked for and found a cracked hose in my engine compartment. I replaced the hose ($5) and then cleared the errors. The check engine light has stayed off and the truck has since passed State inspection. The dealer wanted $125 to just tell me what was wrong. Having the dealer fix it would have cost more, I am sure. Now I lend this out to my neighbors as needed. A must have for a DIYer.
