So I just received my U480 OBD2 sensor in the mail. I purchased it for $20 shipped on amazon, and let me tell you that it does not show the codes. Maybe it is just for the Z but where it says "fault" it just shows N/A which I believe that it just does not work for the Z.

It also shows that everything else is ready and works for the MIL except the evap. The only good thing is that you can still clear the check engine light but then again you dont know what is causing it because it does not show codes. I erased me cel but then it came back on.

 

What do you expect for $20?

 

Exactly, I at least thought it was going to show codes. Even the manual has a list of codes but guess it doesnt work for the Z

 

I bought the cheap bluetooth scanner and use it with torque app. Works great on every car I've tried it on

 

I got one from amazon for that price and it works great on all cars. It's an autel I forget the model. Shows all the codes fault and pending plus all the drive cycles and if they are ready

 

+1 on on the bluetooth scanner with the torque app. Its work on every car i tried it on. $15 for the scanner and app. It even doubles as a track recorder.

 

Links please:[ If it shows codes for the Z then I would buy it since its just 20... bluetooth scanner sounds interesting. You guys sure it shows the codes for the Z? I dont know why the one I got does not...

 

Its called the Elm 327 mini and its bluetooth. I don't have the link for it but you can google it. Not sure what the deal is with yours

 

Mine shows how many codes are fault and pending but when I go to check the code it says N/A... lame

 

Alright cool thanks, and yea I dont know either. Some donkey $H!T

 

Some of them are junk

 

Damn maybe it is defective or won't work on your car. Which is odd for sure.

Mine is an autel ms300

 

Yea im going to buy that soon..

 

Yeah its the best out there for under $20. I use it all the time, scans fast as well.

 

i also bought the autel for $22. works great. but i havent had any ses lights so as for showing codes idk yet
