Eagle Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Snap-On used to have a universal scanner that could be used with the Renix Jeeps. It cost over $3000 back when it was available (maybe it still is, but I'd be surprised), and the Renix ECU doesn't store codes so it was of limited usefulness. Pretty much all tests for the renix system can be run using a ten dollar multi-meter from Harbor Freight Tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 the compatible scanners are 100% worthless. they don't tell you anything. OBD2 is 96+, so the only time a scanner is worthwhile is for 96+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBD2 is 96+, so the only time a scanner is worthwhile is for 96+ I'm gonna have to disagree with you here. The "brick" and the DRB, while not real sophisticated because of the Renix system, are quite useful in diagnosing issues. I have the DRB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
