The $98 $98 Equus (at Walmart) is fine for most folks. It reads and
resets all the codes.

Is that the 3030 OBD2 Car Reader
or the 3100 OBDII Code Reader
or the 3110 CANOBD2 Tool
thanks

I bought the Actron 9135 for $149.95 at AutoZone. Worked fine for my Maxima

If you live anywhere but California, AutoZone will pull
the codes for free. But if you want your own scan tool
and have a laptop, the following is pretty good (have
been using it for a few years now). Does a lot of pretty
cool extra stuff: http://www.obdscan.net/

I went to the site home page, was unable to load pages for
1. USB OBDSCAN+CAN
2. CANSCAN With Windows software
3. OBDSCAN With Windows software

which one do you use?

Strange...I have no problem loading the pages (IE 6 or Mozilla 1.7.12).
In any case, I have the older RS-232 version ($140 + $7 S&H):

"OBDScan-Universal RS-232

Assembled, tested for all OBD-II vehicles (ISO-9141, KWP2000, PWM, VPW)
Includes everything you need for Laptop and PC Windows Computers (RS232)
Ford Extended Data S/W Included"

If your laptop doesn't have an RS-232 serial interface (many newer
ones only have USB), you can buy the USB version for $20 more.
