I bought this on Amazon's recommendation when I purchased an OBD II reader here. The book is just a list of every car's code followed by a one sentence description. The OBD II reader provides the same information in its user's manual and online documentation. Hopefully you read this before you spend any money on this item.

I bought this in conjunction with the Equus 3100c. I checked my fault code on my car to find it was not listed in the book nor was it listed in my factory service manual. The software included with the Equus 3100c had the complete information regarding the code. Perhaps this is an isolated instance but now I question whether the book is needed.

Yes, it has over 4000 fault codes, unbelievable. This book is great for me because I work on cars (family and friends) on the weekend, and spare time. My fault code reader shows me the fault code and no text. I could go online and check what the faults mean, but the internet doesn't go where I am, plus not one site has a complete list. This book has helped me get the code definitions to repair what is wrong with the car. OBD II Diagnostics Secrets Reveled and this book has helped me go to the next level in fixing cars. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a Complete reference of OBD II fault codes. Great Book!

The reference guide provides fault codes using a large font. Great for folks like myself who don't like using reading glasses.

My issue here is that the Actron CP9150 comes with a copious amount of information on fault codes. The OBD II Fault Codes Reference Guide adds minimal additional value to the Actron CP9150 tool, User Manual and bundled CD-ROM.

Nothing in here you can't find on an internet search.

This is a good product if your scanner does not have the codes internal to the device. Codes for all major automobile manufacturers are included in the reference guide. I bought the CP9180 which made the reference guide
obsolete.

You don't need this book. The Equus comes with the codes on a CD.

This book, valuable as it may be, should have been included with it's sister book The OBDII Bible by the same author.
As it covers the major European and Japanese models, it is certainly worth having.

i agree with the other reviewer - start by searching for "obd ii fault codes" - think about buying the book only if that fails to give you the info you need.

I bought this a while back; a couple of years ago I guess. I use it regularly on my own vehicles and on friends' and families' vehicles. I think it has been worth the investment.
