Default Actron Code Readers/Autoscanners

Just curious if anyone has used one to find codes and monitor the sensors. I need to see if all the sensors, etc. are working on my truck. So I would like someone to pitch in if they have used one of these to check sensors, etc. I know about Scanguage but need a code/scanner reader ASAP. Thanks.

They work for reading the codes but not for monitoring the programming. At least not mine, I purchased two years ago for about 160$

I had an actron code reader from discount auto parts. it was a good unit I think I paid 90.00 for it. it turned up missing recently. it would give you the code and a good description of the code regardless of make or model. I think they have other models that will give you more insight on whats going on like a/f, sensor voltage etc. sooo now that I need a new something I am hoping I can get a programmer that will read codes as well. but the actron definitely was worth the cash. I am actually sick I cant locate it but I have several employees with access to my garage and I work on friends/familys cars so it might be under a seat somewhere out there.

I got a generic Creader for $30. it does the job. Sooner or later I'll graduate to the pro Actron models.
