Code Reader

[the fox]

I know a lot of members ask about a decent code reader I used on yesterday it was a Launch Creader V it was bought on eBay for about £30 it comes with life time undates via the web, I was amazed how good it was it even did freeze.live data all the sensors/components could be seen working in Grapth form etc it shows the vaules of the same, works I was told on all OBD2 I looked on eBay and they have a newer version a V1 but a bit dearer before anyone asked I have no connection to Launch or eBay etc,etc

Just plug it in by the bonnet pull and switch on the ignition. Follow the instructions with the reader but basically you just scroll down and enter. Be sure to write any stored codes down before erasing.

Thanks Ancs..

Used it today,just came up saying 'no codes detected'.

Does that mean I have no fault codes'.. or, that it doesnt work on my T180 ?

Sorry if thats a dim question.

[anchorman]

It will work OK on the T180. You just have no codes.

Ordered one of these off Amazon, turned up today, updated it (because I could) works a treat, thanks for the tip.

I think I am right in saying that only Toyota have the in house software to load or change runflat sensor codes, Mikis......why would Toyota and Bridgestone make their runflat cartel THAT easy to interrupt.....?

[Guest]

Mikis Simply put no, more eloquently see Kevs response above.

find attached link to manual www.scantool.net/scantool/downloads/46/CReaderV_Users_Manual.pdf

Bruno, I believe that it should be fine on a 2008 XT-R just check for the port to connect it too, but I am sure other readers have been used on Ravs post 2004 quite happily.

I know this will appeal to your Englishness, Gus, but no need to pay that price unless that really good wee gadget has facilities other than required for basic code ID and cancellation. One on eBay at half that price, but not as posh looking.

Hi, will it erase/reset oil service indicator on Rav 2009.

Cheers

You don't need any tools for that. Just follow the instructions in the oil change tutorial pinned at the top of the RAV page.
