AUTEL Code Reader Experiece
I had a Innova code reader that worked well on OBD codes. However I started to develop ABS errors and the Innova could not read the codes. I had the ABS module rebuilt but the errors kept occurring. I realized that trying to guess what the problem was and trowing parts at it was not the way to go. I did some research and picked up the Autel tool on eBay. Plugged it into the Jag and went through the menu for the ABS system which included manufacturer and VIN entry. The reader gave me the code and description for front left bad sensor. Pulled the wheel, adjusted the air gap and ABS problems solved.
i don't recall the price I paid but its seems on eBay they ranged fro $55 up to over $100. As far as air bag on then CAN based messages no experience with that yet. My exact model is the Autel Autolink AL619. My car is a 2000 XK8.
