Whenever your check engine light is on, the device can chrome://gcstoolbar/skin/feedbackimg2.gif chrome://gcstoolbar/skin/feedbackimg2.gif pinpoint the problem so you can fix it fast and be on your way.

Read and erase trouble codes with "hot keys."


Turn off that distracting "check engine" light.
Valuable New Features
Based on the original and best selling CP9135, the next generation CP9175 has important additional features. In addition to allowing users to view data in English, Spanish, or French, the CP9175 is also Internet updateable. Plus, it displays freeze frame data, which provides a "snapshot" of the vehicle's operating conditions at the time of the fault.

The Data You Need
With more functions than other code readers available in the automotive aftermarket at comparable cost, the CP9175 easily retrieves diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer, leading you to the problem area. The scanner is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present.

The CP9175 is fully updateable, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their definitions. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive.

The CP9175 is simple and easy to use. The attached OBD II 16-pin connector cable provides both data and power connections, while the eight-foot cable and rugged housing are both oil- and grease-resistant for added durability. The scanner is easy to connect to your vehicle, and a user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. And thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery you can review the data you've gathered from the vehicle anywhere you please.

Use the Monitor Status and I/M readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance with a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards.

Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test--even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms.

The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with simple "hot keys" that are used to read and erase DTCs, make the CP9175 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.

The scanner comes with CD software that contains more than 3,000 diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their descriptions.

Actron CP9175 AutoScanner January 10, 2007
Prior to 1998 you could use the MIL (Multifunction Indicator Light) codes on your dash. This tool accomplishes the same thing plus a lot more. In these days of computerized cars it's a necessity if you wish to fix your own vehicle. Don't expect this tool to tell you exactly what went bad and what part to replace. You need to have a working knowledge of automotive mechanics, and a service manual of the vehicle is a great help (almost a must). This tool will steer you in the right direction.
Example; My car's transmission quit dead in the road without any prior warning. Do I take it to a dealer and spend much $$$ $2400 or so for a rebuild? Not yet. My scanner said "Gears #1,2,3,4 had the wrong gear ratio." Huh wot?? Well, after examining my service manual,I determined that a sensor that measures input and output speeds must be bad. I bought the sensor for $16.50 and fixed it. By the way, I'm not an auto mechanic. I'm a diemaker.

Nice device but.... October 18, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this device with high expectations after reading reviews by several persons, only to discover it does not work on several OBD II equipped Japanese vehicles I've connected it to. It attempts a search of the vehicles' computer but the end result is an error message on the scanner's display screen. I just tried it again on my brother-in-law's 2005 Toyota Matrix only to get the same result.

Even more disappointing is the lack of software updates for CP9175 which has also been noted by other reviewers who've purchased the device.

nice scanner December 7, 2006
Does what it's supposed to do. Seems well made. Probably could get by with a less expensive model. I used it to diagnose an SES message on my 2003 GMC Sonoma 4.3. O2 sensor failure according to the code generated. Bought a new sensor at AutoZone and installed. Pretty much broke even cost-wise from what a shop would charge. Will come in handy next time the SES light comes on.
