Better than most. Can read codes for ABS, TPMS, SRS, Transmission, not only the ECU

I've had the device for months and used it to check for codes (DTCs) on Engines, transmissions, ABS, A/C, and other modules on several cars. Unlike most inexpensive OBD2 readers, this one gives you access to other control modules in your cars, not just the engine control unit (ECU).
I used it to change the dark mode in my (retired) P71 police interceptor, to read the codes in the ABS module (bad wheel speed sensor) in a 2011 Ford Escape that had the ABS light on, check the Transmission fluid temperature in a Chevy Trailblazer that didn't have the check engine light on but wasn't shifting right. I also used it to read live data from the high pressure sensor on the A/C (Trailblazer) which I needed to verify that I fixed a leak correctly, I've used it to figure out which cylinder was misfiring on his F-150 and an intermittent misfire on my Crown Vix. it's a beautiful thing.
I use it with the ForScan Lite app on Ford cars, the for other makers I use CarScanner app (paid something like $3), and Torque Lite. Keep in mind that the MC version is only for Android and Windows, the MC+ (BLE 4.0) supports iOS
