Will this scanner tell me if I will pass smog

It is used to identify problem codes that can show up on your display on the dash. Not a smog test device. Just makes sure all devices are OK.

Yes. It will read all engine functions and service codes as well as Temp, RPM and sensor readings

A cheap generic scanner just reads and displays the DTC (diagnostic trouble codes) codes and lets you clear them and turn off the Check Engine light. The CP9180 also lets you read the various power train (engine) sensors such as coolant temp, engine speed, vehicle speed, timing, etc (there are literally dozens). It also monitors emissions systems status, such as whether your EGR system has passed its self-test and is properly working. All the emissions systems must be "Ready" in order to pass the state emissions tests. The CP9180 only monitors the powertrain computer. It doesn't work with the air bag, transmission, ABS, anti-theft or other body modules that may be present in your car.

Yes. The error codes have been saved within the onboard computer. By connecting the scanner, then turning the ignition key to its normal position, the scanner will read those stored error codes. You will not turn the ignition key far enough to try and start your car. For example, in one case, I had a code to replace a $71 part which I did myself. A professional at a garage said I needed a new engine - estimated labor and parts of $6,000.

Unfortunately no.....the scanner just access the car's computer to tell you what it "sees" through the sensors that are placed in various parts of the engine, transmission, and body. Anything beyond the sensors will not be detected. If there is a short, open circuit, or other malfunction that doesn't affect a sensor then the computer will not detect it and the scanner can't report it.

As far as I know it does not, unless you have a current reducer. It should say in the directions.

Definitely NOT. The only command it can send to the control unit is to clear the codes. This tool is only a code reader and eraser. It works good, but it is limited to the specific vehicle models programmed into it. If the vehicle is not on the list, there is no way to make the tool work. No way to "try" a non-listed vehicle. It works good, but due to the limitations and me buying a more expensive scanner that does ABS for a wider variety of cars, I have sold this to another tech.

If you set it to "H" (highway mode) then it will detect further away, and you won't get the alerts when you pass through a parkinglot. It you have it on "C" which is city, it will detect Everything. But to answer your question, about half a mile to a mile in Highway Mode.

I bought this part for my 2000 Civic so I'll do a check tomorrow for the numbers. That said, I live in CA and the car passed smog a few months ago after I installed it along with new oxygen sensors..

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

it will but YOU MIGHT BE HIDING A SERIOUS PROBLEM by clearing codes....there is a reason why the engine light comes on.....but its your vehicle...so the answer is YES....THE SCAN TOOL WILL CLEAR THE CODES

I really don't know if it will clear them codes are not. But for the money this scanner is great. Plus you can reset the codes with it. I have saved a lot of money and trips to Auto Zone on the 5 vehicles I own. It is a real simple tool to use.

Yes it can read the mpg in real time. No battery drain as your are driving and your motor is running, thus charging your battery and providing ample current to run the obd2 scanner.

It will bolt on to your viechle but you must understand this is not a catalyic converter and it will not pass smog. It also might trigger your check engine light.

I read my 1996 ford explorer, but I not sure if it reads transmition codes.

If I understand your question correctly, it lets you know if you are going over the speed limit set. It also lets you know how many miles travelled and how long the trip took.

Yes. It depends on the light - if it is a normal check engine light. If it is a tire light or other special light it may not go out. Please note that the ScanTool OBDLink LX tool is very superior as its faster and you can leave it plugged in permanently to read data from your car in real time.
