Hi.
Planning to buy a scanner to use on 2000 and 2003 Discoverys for OBD2 and ABS. Thought it was the working one but saw this:



----> Avoid or buy ?

 

Bullet 1 tells me that it will not do ABS. Did you send your VIN to them as they suggest? I presume budget is the reason for this instead of a Nanocom? Remember the the most expensive tool you can buy is the cheapest one you find.

 

Thanks. They are asleep for the holidays at Autel, cannot send their suggested request.

Is the AL549 a better choice ? ---> https://www.ebay.com/itm/22713642375...Cclp%3A4481478

There is also another: MD802. ---> https://www.autelonline.com/products/diaglink
Anyone usig these ?

 

What scanner are you using now? Maybe just add a proven ABS scanner such as the iCarsoft i930. It's an older model but it's proven to access the ABS system. I have used one for years. Might be able to score a used one.

 

I have an X-Tool (similar to Autel?) for my wife's Subaru. I don't think it supports older LR ABS. I have a Nanocom for my LR's. I've never regretted buying the Nano.

 

I have this Autel based on an older post I saw on a forum. It IS able to read the ABS codes

 

My scanner died and remember from older posts too, the AL619 behaved well for many members owners of Disco2 . Now saw the manufacturer posts being for after 2004.
Perhaps will search for a healthy used one for sale...

 

Ohhh I see what you mean. I bought mine in September, but dont recall if i saw that in the description when i bought it.

 

The foxwell nt630 is cheaper that the autel iirc and it will read/bleed abs. Have used it many many times for abs issues.

 

iCarsoft LRII Scantool does a good job on D2/LR3/RRS/RR
