When you have a GM car from 1994/1995 whit the system that is also called the OBD 1.5, the Actron CP9190 is the only system, next to the TECH 1 from GM, that can read the system to find the problem.

Actron CP9190 Elite AutoScanner Pro Easy to use.
This scanner is very simple and easy to use. I bought this one after using an older Snap On scanner, and this one is so much simpler. Just plug in - no need to enter make, model, vin, etc. It reads OBDI and OBDII automatically.

Bought this model primarily because most other reasonably priced scan tools won't work on the weird not-OBD-1or2 connection on a 1994 Park Avenue. It worked great! Also have used it on newer OBD2 vehicles with good results.

Actron CP9190 VERY NICE!
Actron CP9190 VERY NICE!
Does everything it says it does.
I was amazed at what it can do on my 1995 Dodge 2500 with a Cummins diesel.
No where near all the features you have on a newer OBDII vehicle, but It checks sensors ( I didnt know I had a battery temperature sensor),RPM, current battery charging rate,etc.
can run some tests.
some remote control of relays.
Calling it a "CP9190" ,when it is a "CP9185", was a bad idea that I am certain someone got fired for. (they added cables to the "CP9185" and called it a "CP9190" you dont get the "CP9190" because it does not exist. Think of it as a "CP9185 Deluxe", and it makes sense).

Actron CP9190 Scan Tool
Actron CP9190 Scan Tool
As a former Ford mechanic from the bygone 1970's era my old code reader for my 1999 Mustang didn't work with my new 2011 Ford Ranger. I did some tinkering on the Ranger and got a "check engine" light. Well not wanting to get jammed by the Ford Dealer for a "diagnosis fee" I order this CP9185 through Amazon Prime.
It arrived intact as promised with all the attachments, Win 7 dvd,printed instructions, and a case.
Simply put a 9 volt battery in the unit, hooked it up to the access point under the steering wheel and read my code. Deleted the "reduced egr flow code" and the check engine light went out.
Problem solved in 10 minutes...........nice

Actron CP9190 VERY HAPPY!
To be fair, I don't have a ton of experience with code readers / engine scanners, but this unit gives an impressive capability for the price. For example, it gives live data similar to what a Snap-On MT2500 would give you on a GM OBD-I vehicle ('88 Chevy pickup with TBI). (I haven't played with the MT 2500 on an OBD-II vehicle to compare.) I'll assume the 9190 will display live data off OBD-II just like all the others. The 9185/9190's ability to display the live data for older cars really pays off when you own one of them, and was vital to my purchase decision. (I have a TBI pickup, and I'm putting TPI in an older Camaro)
I bought my Dad one first and he loves it and uses it for all his cars too. I was going to buy a used MT2500, but his experience on all his cars led me to buy one for myself.
