Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Good product for erasing check engine light and getting basic codes. Simple + compact. Clear 3-5 minor error codes without incurring costly repair costs.



Cons

V5 code means it is not compatible. Control * do not do as described, in fact, the only thing it does is erase codes and the * are flipped. Won’t connect to ford excursion.

My advice is stay away. Waste of time & money. Piece of junk. Save yourself the time and frustration.

    We are having an issue with the check engine light coded 420 and the catalytic converter


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The converter itself is fine but since fuel ingredients have changed since it was manufactured a check engine light triggers

    According to our service guy until gmc flashes the hardware the code 420 will continue to trigger as its a hardware issue and not actually the converter

    All that remains is for you to figure out what the codes are telling you i
