OBD Reader

Any recommended OBD readers that can clear fault codes?

DS150E from ebay

They are clones and very dodgy legally, but they do various manufactures and some limited programming.

Prices range greatly from £30 + but mine works well

All for personal use so legality isn't "really" an issue, thanks, I'll check it out.

I bought one for about £15 on Amazon and then downloaded an app called InCarDoc I think, for £9.99 which seems to do the job also

Look for good reviews for the seller.

Thing is, they read more than just the standard OBDII codes from the engine ECU, they will read most of the ECU's in a supported car, I use CDP pro and Wurth WOW

Download the Torque Pro app and buy the below Bluetooth ODB reader

Very cheap and works well for me.

But only does basic OBDII codes which are useful but cant do things like workout which ABS sensor is failing or code a new key or run a Cat efficiency test.

Worth getting the DS150 in my opinion as it will allow you to read many of the ecu modules. Also allows you to reset more fault codes than just a generic OBD2 tool.

I had loads of codes on my car, but all were very old and complete red herrings. With the DS150 I was able to reset them all to fin that now there is one "relevant" code that I will now deal with. £53 very well spent.
