Trouble Code Scanner does not actually scan
If you open up the Actron CP9025 you will see the only thing it does is short two contacts so the trouble light on the dash will flash the stored codes. If you have the codes for your vehicle then you do not need the book that comes with the Actron CP9025. If you do not have the codes, then the book may be worth paying for the “scanner”. You can do as much with a paperclip as you can with this misnamed product.
Update (2/7/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Code Reader
This item is for older Japanese cars, but very useful if you have one. The package only contains a manual that tells you how to recover the codes on cars it applies to, what the codes mean and a few tools (jumpers,etc) necessary if they are called for. The system worked as advertised, and Actron shipped promptly.

Not a lot of help
I hooked it up and the unit sent a signal back to the dash with a series of flashes using the check engine light indicator. Looked up the problem codes and replaced the part (over $200.00 US) that was the the probable cause and the problem resurfaced. The unit is not equipped with accurate data read outs to give you enough data. Using the unit on my 1987 Supra was a waste of time and money.
