The check engine light came on in my honda 95 delsol, I googled on how to read the code and finally used a piece of small wire to read the code. When I saw this item on Amazon, I thought it would be some kind of electronic code reader, so I bought it, to my surprise the kit had a booklet and couple of jumper connectors. You can find all the information on how to read OBD1 coded just by googling. For honda and toyota vehicles you will need a piece of wire! The material value of this product should not be more than $2.00. I bought it for $25 which is completely rip-off. I felt I was an idiot to buy this product!

Except for the book it came with explaining some stuff and about different makes & models thus shedding some more light on the issue, the unit itself has nothing much in it as some other reviewer wrote, you could do what it does with a paper clip or a flat blade screwdriver. I agree..

its a simple product to use. I didnt really need it because you and do the same thing this tool does with a paper clip, just stick a paper clip in both sides of the connector and watch the engine light blink. But nice item comes with a great book that shows all the codes and how to read them. A+ for me

This product is not compatible with my 1995 Camry LE V6. None of the hookups fit any of the ODB ports - not even close. Read on the web that this was a transition year for Toyota.

I bought this knowing full well that it was a (relatively) expensive version of a hot wire, but I was having trouble making my car blink the codes. If you don't like the hassle of stripping a wire and farting around with the ports, this could be worth your 25 bucks (if it works for you!).

I'm returning it and am very happy with Amazon's return process, so far.

I'm a electrician by trade, But work on cars on the side.This Equus 3173 help me with a 1993 Toyota check engine panel light by allowing me to retrieve the codes.This code reader saved me $80.00dos because I replaced the vaccm line myself.It is very simple to use and worth I's weight In gold.

It does what I need. Once you get the code just look at the book.
