FOXWELLCar Scanner NT604 Elite OBD2 Scanner ABS SRS Transmission, Check Engine Code Reader for Cars and Trucks, Diagnostic Scan Tool with SRS Airbag, Automotive Diagnostic Tool with Live Data

I received this scanner back in Dec 31 2024 but waited a while for the review. I needed a good scanner that could read ABS codes since i had some and my regular OBD2 Bluetooth/Wi-Fi reader couldn't read them. I have a 2010 Tahoe that would sometimes immediately would throw the ABS light on and the shifter would lock and not let me select a gear until it eventually would, and the times it didn't lock up and switch into Drive fine, i would get the ABS light less than 3 minutes later and then always followed by the red Brake light that typically would light up if you engaged the e-brake. According to some forums i came across, i changed the ABS wheel speed sensors, the pads, and even the front calipers which were overdue anyways. But problem was still there. Long story short, decided to get this scanner taking a gamble based on other reviews mentioning that theirs didn't read ABS, but this one reads mines perfectly! My problem turned out to be the Brake switch on the brake pedal and also found the Power Brake Booster Vacuum Sensor on the codes, both replaced and voila! No more issues with the gear level and ABS light hasn't come on since that day! Also tested this on the following vehicles:2008 and 2016 GMC Yukon XL and both showed Engine, ABS, and Transmission modules.2018 Chevy Trax - same results2013 F150 - same results2009 GMC Acadia - same results2005 and 2009 Nissan Altimas - same.Hope this was helpful for some of you!

Product works well! Easy to navigate and very useful for OBD scanner!

Works good for the money, can not complain.

Item works well picking up my tranmission codes. Great item to have to trouble shoot problems.

Foolishly, I wasted 29.99 on one of those Bluetooth readers that linked to your phone. When it did work, it left a lot to be desired.I have an 11 y/o Dodge which while I have an unhealthy love for her (the car, not my wife, who I do love dearly, but she snores and grunts while she eats), she has had 2 persistent issues one causing the dreaded check engine light, and another intermittent problem which disabled the restraint system.So I bought another reader. It was a bit confusing to use, and would not give me any assistance with SRS.So, I decided to cut the crap. I got this reader. It has been a godsend. It helped me to diagnose the first code.Fortunately I can still drive the car until I can afford the repair, since just clearing the code doesn't seem to fix the problem.It keeps coming back. But now I know I have a bit of time and that takes the stress off.The cool thing is the ability to scan the SRS, and troubleshoot it without setting off the airbags, which can be a problem.I don't recommend doing that. It gets messy.It led me to discover a flaky connection, which once corrected, makes me confident that in the event of a collision, the system will deploy.It also detected that the previous owner had cut the wire to seat occupant sensor rather than replace the sensor. I will be dealing with him later.But, the code reader can do many other useful features, like real time monitoring and snapshots of what your engine is up to.This is a well made, easy to read and easy to use code reader/resetter. And it comes in a good solid case, with instructions for being able to keep software up to date.It's worth it. Go ahead, purchase with confidence.

I only needed one wrench to replace the front brake pads. Really EASY!! I had to bleed the brakes so the dash lights came on. I bought this, plugged it in, entered my VIN and cleared the fault. $141 + 36 for pads = $177 and I get to use this tool on my other Toyotas.

complicated setup. Not that handy to use. Not for the on the go person. Too bulky. Nice case, but way too large. there again, mnot an easy traveler.

The short version: It has no batteries so it must be plugged in to use. Not a problem unless you want to wander around with it. For the price, I'm fine without batteries or Bluetooth. Updates happen via you PC USB port with an included Micro SD card reader over the internet.The processor is rather slow, as others have mentioned, but for the price, I'm fine with it.The UI is rudimentary but fairly easy to understand and supports multiple languages.TLDR: I have only just started using the Foxwell OBDII scanner today, 2 days after I received it. Out of the box, it wasn't working properly. The screen displayed correctly when I first plugged it in, but after browsing a few functions, all of the Icons and type disappeared. A few of the functions displayed very faint messages and I was disappointed. I unplugged and tried again. The same thing happened.Time to give support a test. I went to my order and clicked "Get product support" I tried the self help options, but they were pretty lame and of no use (at least for this product). Next I chose "Call me" and my phone instantly rang and a support person answered almost immediately. She asked for my name and knew what I was calling about. I described the problem and she had me unplug the unit and hold down the OK button for 15 seconds. I plugged it back in and my problem was solved! BINGO!Registering the unit is a quick trip to www.foxwelltech.us/register.html and updating the software and vehicle data is done at www.foxwelltech.us/support-tools.html where you can download the Windows Desktop Application and install/update it.I will have to update my review after I try using some of the features on my various cars, I have a '23 Bolt EUV, a '22 Toyota Prius, and a '16 Subaru Impreza. I'll give them a shot and add more details later.BOTTOM LINE: So far, so good. Longevity/reliability has yet to be tested.
