Yup, my scanner has paid for itself many times over, not just with my Yukon, but with more than a dozen other vehicles.
I'm sort the family mechanic, so I have plugged into a lot of cars since I bought it.
My 2002 Nissan Altima had the chip key sensor in the ignition lock go out.
I bought a replacement sensor but the car was still stuck in 'locked' mode.
I thought I was going to have to have the dealer pull it out of Locked mode but I went ahead and reprogrammed all 3 keys to the vehicle for the heck of it and it worked great.
Saved me a tow and at least a $500 trip to the dealer.
That single use saved me more than the original purchase of the scanner.
The scanner has also been loaned out to friends that have scanned their cars for issues not able to be read with a basic scanner.
Can you please share the model of the scanner? Thank you.

I will take a look at it. Thank you very much.
Incidentally, the scanner now has more features than it did when I bought it, so the features listed may not cover all of them, unless any of the ones being sold have already been updated.
There was a massive update that added more features and expanded the years it covered.

I know this is an old thread. But I’m having the same issues with my stabilitrack/traction control warning going off. I was wondering if this would fix the issue. Judging by the comments it has fixed the issue for a lot of people.

without getting a code reader and scanning while the light is on, then it's just a guess.
but.... if it will not shift into drive when the brake pedal is pressed then yes much more likely, it's possible in that case you may also have no brake lights so get a helper to check the lights while the pedal is pressed or put a brick on the pedal.
