Actron CP9449 Now resets codes too!
The ABS and TRAC OFF lights had been showing on my Grand Am since I bought it. Being a diy type I wasn't willing to pay someone just to tell me what was wrong with it, which would probably have cost more than the tool did. After receiving the tool I was pleased to find a software upgrade is available that allows it to clear trouble codes, I'm no computer whiz and I couldn't get the upgrade to work on my vista based laptop but it worked just fine on my old xp desktop, go figure! The tool showed that my right front wheel sensor was bad, after replacing the wheel hub assembly (which is some poor engineering on GM's part) I didn't even have to clear the codes, lights went out on their own. The code clear feature is good though so you can tell if you have any recurring intermittent codes. Great tool for the backyard mechanic!
