Summary: Equus 3140 Review
Comment: I purchased this unit for personal use. I have used it to trouble shoot problems on a 1993 Lincoln Towncar: It worked perfectly and correctly diagnosed the problem - EGR. I corrected the problem and cleared the code.
light has not returned. I had a little difficulty with 2 1995 Chevy Caprice's (Both OBD1)-one 4.3L and 5.7L the Tech support number was helpful and I was able to get it to pull up the SES Codes. (earlier year and different engine VIN code) TEch said it would not read an LT1 but I got it to pull codes. [EGR on one and driver's side O2 Sensor on the other - (Both correct diagnosis). I have also used to to read and clear codes on a 1996 Impala SS (Air Pump), and 2003 Silverado (EVAP System).
So far I am very happy with this units functionality and ease of use. It offered the broadest coverage and functionality of any unit in this price range. AMAZON.COM also had the best deal I could find anywhere = (Approx 1/2 of list$)

Summary: misleading specs
Comment: Nice code scanner but nothing special. Missing some key data like ISC steps and fuel tank pressure. I bought this unit based on the specs stating it had bi-directional communications, which can only be found on very expensive professional scanners and is needed to complete the tests in the shop manual. The only thing it does is request initiation of an EVAP bay test. On my car it returns an error stating that my car does not support this test yet my factory shop manual clearly states that it does. So I still have a recurring check engine light that I have no other option than to spend hundreds if not thousands at the dealer. We purchase these devices as tools to be able to do our own repairs. This has been a very disappointing experience and I encourage all consumers to study very carefully what you need in such a device and thoroughly vet the specs before making a purchase. I will try to be complete about the capabilities of all the scanners I am about to sell on ebay.

Summary: Excellent OBD tool, but for knowledge people.
Comment: Excellent OBD tool, but for knowledge people.
This device wont fix your car, just gonna tell you "what happened" not "why?", and the "why" is what you need to fix it.
This is a OBDII tool with (some) OBDI support, if you think in this like a complete OBDII + OBDI system, it wont reach even 1 start.
The first think you should know and this is why I call this a good device for knowledge people, is that OBDI is really a mess, it wont give you as much information as OBDII even, with a much better device than this.
Another think you should know is that OBDII started from 1996 but some 1995 cars have OBDII too, and its probably the device wont work, maybe a little variation in the protocol.
The cable is really painful, if they don't want to change the design, include for free a USB adapter. The update doesn't show much more information, and there's not updates so often.
