I got my OBDII scanner bought from ebay today...Its a toptak 'TP-500 CAN OBDII' so I want to know if this is a good scanner or not? any bad reviews? thanks..
For the trouble code,, it definitlly read correctlly P0156, how ever the explanation is wrong. It says 'o2 sensor circuit' however, taurus's official maintenance guide says 'Downstream heated o2 sensor fault (bank 2)'.
I also got tons of live data from the scanner which I can not understand:
(I got those data when the vehicle is idle, shall I test the vehicle when it is running? )
