Is it detrimental to leave it hooked up all the time, will it affect ecu

function?


Thanks.

 

bump

 

I am not trying to sounds stupid but could you elaborate more on the word "creader"?, English is not my first language.

Thanks!!

Carlos

 

Its actually simple scan tool for obd 2...it does read and delete code

im throwing cel all the time so i decided to leave it hooked.

 

Thanks, now I know what you mean. I have seen many different ones. Again, thanks for teaching me a "new" word, I am trying to learn as much english as I can .

I have seen some very basic methods such as high/ low beep nosies from a DMM and also regular voltage reading to indicate and decode the engine code.


I am assuming the creader word comes from Code reader uh?

Hey, Carlos me too english is not my primary language...

but i learn this word from evo m too...

 

creader is the product name. and yes you can leave it plugged in... it reads trouble codes and deletes them with no input from you.

 

thanks man..

btw im in carroll county

 

the problem is thoe, what if somethingis really wrong and the think deletes the code so you don't see it. could be a potential problem.

 

maybe i'll see you at the event at university of maryland in college park... i forget the date, i'll have to check.

 

You have point...

what i do..i disconnect it once in while then check code
if still po300.

 

damn i have bought one from ebay and it doesn't work WTF ?? all it does is " Launch, - - - -, and E. i got the same one as every one else made by launch . i got an 04 evo

when the engine isn't running, it will got through the 1 - 2 - 3 then E. when the engine is running, it should go through the numbers and end with all dashes ----. if it isn't doing that, then the reader is probably one of the ones that has problems reading the evo's ecu. i know vishnu had some problems with some the earlier creaders.

 

my does goes through teh dash, but after teh dashes it goes E. i'm going to give it another try and will report back. WTF

 

check w/dustin @vishnu and he can tell you from where the logo is on the unit if it is one of the ones that won't work with the evo.
