Actron CP9449 Scan Tool Works Great!!
Actron CP9449 Scan Tool Works Great!!
Works as advertised, easy to use, great price. Read the codes quickly and easily. There are only two drawbacks:
1. The list of compatible vehicles is somewhat limited and there is no guarantee that other vehicles will be added to the list.
2. The case is terrible - it's a nice looking case but it doesn't firmly hold the scanner.
Note: Make sure your vehicle is on the list of compatible vehicles.

Actron CP9449 Scanner VERY NICE
Actron CP9449 Scanner VERY NICE
Bought this to troubleshoot problems with a montecarlo. The tool worked great fast easy to use clear screen. plugs in the OBD2 port.I had a bad rear wheel sensor. Buying the scanner and wheel sensor was a lot cheaper than having the dealer do it.

Actron CP9449 REVIEW
Actron CP9449 worth the cost.
Well my father was having trouble with his vehicle ABS and trac light coming on so it was obvious that it was the brake/speed sensor causing it. The problem was which one was causing it. He could have took it to a dealer and paid outrageous price to diagnose and repair but I bought this item for him. after I hookeed it up, hooks in just like my OB II reader, it diagnosed the problem instantly. Tried it several times and same problem showed up. Bought a new piece from online dealer and put on his vehicle. Drove the vehicle about 100 yards and both lights went off. So for about $120 i repaired his auto and saved him lots of money and any future problems as well.
Kills me reading some of these reviews where people said it did not work but there vehicle was not on the list. Well what did you expect?
It worked great for me and saved quite a bit of money.
Actron CP9449 Very Good ABS Scanner!!
I hesitated on buying one of these because of some bad reviews it had. Came to find out that the people giving it bad reviews didn't go to Actron's site and check to see if it would work on their vehicle! I checked to make sure that both of my vehicles (1996 Blazer & 2000 Olds Intrigue) were covered on it. I got a good deal on it for $75.99 and it arrived in the mail today. The case that comes with it is very durable and good quality with padding to protect the scanner from bumps. People were complaining that you couldn't update it on Windows Vista, only on Windows ME & Windows XP. I downloaded the update tool from Actron site and put on my Windows Vista laptop. I used a USB cable from my camera to hook up to it. It downloaded the right drivers for it and the update program found the the new update, uninstalled the old update, and installed the new one with no problems whatsoever. My ABS brakes weren't working at all and the warning light was staying on all of the time. After I hooked it up to the OBDII port and turned the key on, it checked for trouble codes and found 5 of them! After checking all of the wiring and sensors, I deleted out all of the trouble codes and the warning light went out. So I took the vehicle for a drive and stopped hard on a gravel road. The ABS kicked in and kept me from sliding and the warning light never came back on. So I brought it back home and hooked the scanner up again--no trouble codes detected and everything is working fine!! So I am very pleased with the Actron CP9449 ABS Scanner. If the people giving it bad reviews would just take the time and READ to see if their vehicle is covered, and read Actron's instructions on putting in the new update, they shouldn't have anyone to blame but themselves if it didn't work! It works fine for me and saved me alot of money by not having to take it to a dealer and paying up the nose for hooking up to their scanner! ME? I'M A HAPPY CAMPER!! Make sure it will work on your vehicle, buy it, and READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
Actron CP9449 GREAT!!
I checked before I bought this to make sure it would work on my model car. 1999 Olds Intrigue, 3.5 engine. It was easy to set up and use. It paid for itself after the 1st use. My dealer wanted $75.00 to tell me what was wrong. I paid $99.00 shipped. It told me it was the left front tire. When I pulled the wheel I found a loose connection. Boom, fixed the problem. This tool will also work on my 2004 & 2005 Suburban. Great product if your car is listed.
Actron CP9449 Works Great
Item works great, gave the codes I was trying to get diagnosed, and is very easy to operate . Highly recommend this product for the professional as well as the home mechanic.
Actron CP9449 BrakeScan Works Well.
This tool work well on my 2005 neon (told me the right front wheel speed sensor had a problem). I was able to update the software via the internet (free) using a cheap easy to get cable. It gave the scanner the ability to reset the ABS fault light. A real plus for trouble shooting.
Actron CP9449 Scanner Big money saver.
Great product, easy to use and a piece of cake to update the firmware. Quickly and easily reads ABS codes. In my case it confirmed my suspicion the RF wheel sensor was the problem. It took me less that 30 minutes to fix the problem and clear the error codes. That in itself more than paid for the cost of the scanner.
Actron CP9449 Best Price, Good for the money
A good deal for the money. Used on two vehicles so far and worked on both. Ability to update is nice. Just need to make sure it works for your vehicle before purchase.
