The Tech2 is clunky to use, and will only do GM vehicles from 2000? to 2014 roughly..
I feel I should have put that $400 towards a newer, higher end, universal scanner..

What is a **newer, higher end, universal scanner..** ?

I don't know!

But I suppose a snap-on or autel should do it.
One that can display graphs. One that can do all the body functions the Tech2 can.
Pretty much any decent scanner now is newer, higher end, and more universal than a Tech2!

The minimum you'll need to read the code(s) is one that reads body and chassis codes; look for that in the specs; some of those can be under $200. If you need more functionality you'll need a bidirectional scanner, typically those can run $400 on up.

My son and I share an Autel that was around $800 IIRC, but it's bidirectional and can program new TPMS sensors and has some advanced functions.

@OR VietVet I think you have a Foxwell; does that read body and chassis codes? Maybe others will chime in with specific makes and models.
