I’ve used the Ultragauge before and it’s quite comprehensive in what it displays. Transmission codes were no issue!

Absolutely, Paula. Great for basic troubleshooting before you head to the mechanic. Saves time and money.

Is it DIY-friendly or do I need a pro? Haven’t found clear info on this.

Do either of these scanners cover those or just the generic ones?

Seems like useful tools for quick diagnostics. Still wondering if ultragauge displays more codes than the scangauge. anyone tried both?
