OBD 11 scanners
takapuna replied to takapuna's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Welcome to the forum -- I agree that it's a great forum. Regarding your OBD2 scanner question, all cars made or sold in the US since 1996 have to be OBD2 compliant. For a scanner, I would recommend the Durametric tool -- it's a great tool for the money and you can download free software updates. Check out http://www.durametric.com. The low priced scanners just read the P0xxx emission codes but the Durametric reads these plus all the other computers in your Porsche and you can watch actual values of various sensors. No, I'm not part of the company and don't receive any commisions -- I just bought one for my Boxster and I love it! Regards, paul.... -
