I currently own an o5 tacoma, o5 buick and a 2000 outback. They all have dash lites on, engine and abs.

Read and clear trouble codes, look at data stream information, and/or do some bi directional controlling? $200 isn't going to get you much more than an OBD2 code reader. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

But Autozone sells a scan tool by Actron .Its called Code Connect. It will read codes,and will give you access to top reported fixes for the codes.
