Valuable New Features
Based on the original and best selling CP9135, the next generation CP9175 has important additional features. In addition to allowing users to view data in English, Spanish, or French, the CP9175 is also Internet updateable. Plus, it displays freeze frame data, which provides a "snapshot" of the vehicle's operating conditions at the time of the fault.

The Data You Need
With more functions than other code readers available in the automotive aftermarket at comparable cost, the CP9175 easily retrieves diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer, leading you to the problem area. The scanner is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present.

The CP9175 is fully updateable, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their definitions. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive.

The CP9175 is simple and easy to use. The attached OBD II 16-pin connector cable provides both data and power connections, while the eight-foot cable and rugged housing are both oil- and grease-resistant for added durability. The scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. And thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery you can review the data you've gathered from the vehicle anywhere you please.

Use the Monitor Status and I/M readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance with a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards.

Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test--even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms.

The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with simple "hot keys" that are used to read and erase DTCs, make the CP9175 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.

The scanner comes with CD software that contains more than 3,000 diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their descriptions.


What's in the Box
Actron CP9175 AutoScanner Diagnostic Code Scanner, CD software, and 8-foot cable.

Opened the package from amazon, inserted the battery. Read the manual and plugged it in. Read the codes, repaired the vacuum line, reset the faults. Everything was fine till then.Checked the website and found out it cost <$10.00 pm to be useful.
Checked the codes in the scanner and then checked the memory: the minute I did this the scanner went dead with error 2, MEMORY FAILURE
RETURN FOR SERVICE.
THE SCANNER HAS BEEN IN MY POSSESSION FOR LESS THEN 4 HOURS!



5 out of 5 stars The CP9175 will pay for itself   November 13, 2008
Ross A. Young (North Canton, OH)
I've owned this unit for 2 years now and I've used it dozens of times on my own vehicles and neighbors vehicles. This tool will pay for itself in one or two uses. It is internet updatable, howoever there has not yet been an update in the 2 years I've owned it. There should be soon. I think their waiting for the CAN information to be released as this tool will read CAN codes also. All vehicles will in the U.S. will be required to use CAN by the end of 2008. You must get the CP9137 update cable also to update the tool via internet.


5 out of 5 stars This Code Scanner Really Works   October 30, 2008
B. A. Brown (South Philly, PA USA)
The hardest part of using this gadget, is locating the connector in your car. (If you don't know where the connecter is, it can usually be found on the Internet with a little search effort.) The unit is very easy to use. "Plug and play." It automatically reads diagnostic codes and (in most cases) also reports the associated problem(s). This is great, for at least two reasons: 1) Often, the "problem" is a temporary situation (like a glitch in emissions due to using one-time gas additive such as injector cleaner, or a temporarily loose gas cap). The unit allows you to avoid a $100 dealer diagnostic test. You use the unit (push one button) to erase the code(s), your trouble light goes off -- and if it doesn't come back on, you're "good to go". 2) If the trouble isn't temporary, you at least have a good idea of what the trouble is, and this helps you decide whether to "do it yourself" or take it to the shop. The knowledge also helps you keep the repair man honest. One use potentially saves the purchase price, plus a good deal of your time. It also gives you a nice warm, confident feeling. What's not to like?


4 out of 5 stars Saves Money First Time   August 29, 2008
Eric Stouffer (Cupertino, CA United States)
Bought this because Lincoln dealership wanted $195 to run a test scan for a miss in my car. Bought this unit for $100, diagnosed a #1 cylinder miss and bought plugs and wires for another $100. Problem solved for the same price as the cost for diagnosing it. And now every future diagnosis is free. Yahtzee!

The first time used this product was because of a transmission product in one 2002 car. The Actron CP9175 detected a code and named the part of the car the transmission that was malfunctioning.With a little research on internet i founded out the location of the part in the car. It took me no loger than one hour to find and replace the broken part, and, best of all, I did it myself!
