Looking for a good scan tool?

I'm happy with it. I haven't been able to figure out how to do the SAS reprogramming yet. Early years don't need the VIN programmed in, later years do. I have no idea why or when it switched over. I got around it by tweaking both TRE's half a turn to the left and that made it happy again somehow. That sensor is apparently far more accurate than my hands on the steering wheel.

My favorite part is the big easy to read screen. Its had no trouble on xterras, pathfinders, and a few toyotas and chevys. It has saved me and the people that borrow it so much time and money I don't regret buying it at all.

Tip: Purchase a scanner which can perform an auto-bleed of your ABS.

The term used for this function may differ between brands, but you want something which can cycle your abs

I have the Maxicheck pro. I like it. Does sas does not auto bleed abs. I can manually operate each port on the pump though

Find me one and I will. $12k for a Consult is a little out of my league.

I have a $30 bluetooth OBD scanner. It can't read ABS codes, but does most of what I need. I use DashCommand and it has lots of cool features and metrics.

I know that sale is over, but I just wanted to say that I finally got the SAS reprogram to work. The update thing wanted to run so I let it. That probably helped... Anyway, the pathfinder hasn't had a SAS safe mode code pop up in over 300 miles so I'm gonna claim the win. :)

Looking forward to trying out the abs bleed when I replace the hoses and flush the fluid.
