Is it worth buying a GM TECH 2 scanner?

however this allows me to access all modules including trans and abs to diagnose issues.

You know if it reads Airbags codes?

According to the manufacturer yes it does. I have not used it for that yet but i have had absolutely no problem reading and clearing abs and transmission codes so i would assume that that works just as flawlessly. Might be worth a try. With Amazons return policy it should be a no questions asked return if it does not function as promised.

Ah... Checked their website. That appears be something that is not supported for the older vehicles. Sorry.



Edit actually maybe it does. Worth a phone call to check atleast.

It appears to work for nbs vehicles however.

Thanks TheAutummWind, I have the airbag light on, that's one of the reason am looking for a good scanner, most of the standard scanner don't read airbags.

Thanks anyway.

Have you considered the MTS3100 (basically an enhanced Tech 1)? I have one for my Suburban and I can access every module, read codes, perform crank variation learn,etc. It's quite handy.

No, I haven't heard about the MTS3100, I will research on it.

I have both a real and a clone, had the clone for 2+ years. Never an issue with both, and they both function the same.

Thanks, thinking of pulling the trigger. Aren't clones around $200 or so? It's been a while since I looked on ebay. For some time I was thinking of getting a Verus or something more branded I guess for reliabilities sake. Looks like that clone is holding up for you.

Can you divulge the brand, seller info? Thanks.

Verus is great. The problem is the updates will make you go broke if you decide to update. Just buy the clone. I bought mine thru alibaba not eBay. For some reason I trusted that more.
