As the title states.....If you are thinking about getting one or already have then maybe youd like to look over the owners manual. The manual might help make your decision easier to buy a Tech II once you can see what all this beast will do.
Think you have a dead injector? You can turn on/off injectors one at a time to see if there is any difference in engine performance. Dont have a 2nd person to help bleed the brakes? No problem, the Tech II has an automatic brake bleed function (yesm you still have to crack the bleeders open). Replace your factory head unit with a rebuilt or salvage yard head unit, yup the Tech II will allow you to reset the security code on your radio head unit. Working on the a/c and not sure whats going on with it? The Tech II will show you what all the current logic states are and even allow you to manually toggle them for troubleshooting. Need to reset those pesky vent, blend doors? Yup Tech II will do that too. Cant figure out why the ABS light is on. Theres a ABS section also in there! Got some Transmission codes? Its in there. Need to see misfire data...for each cylinder? Its in there. Getting an intermittent problem that you just cant seem to catch with a scanner? Tech II will record data while you are driving and let you playback for torubleshooting issues. Wondering if PCM is commanding 2nd gear? Its all in there. Need to flash the PCM or BCM....yup you can do that too (with a paid GM subscription). And much much more. There are Youtube vids too!
