Three amigos reset tool

[rmuller]

Just saw this;

$198 for a little tool that resets the three amigos, and reads the codes for you... if it works, I definitely think it'd be worth it.. if nothing else, to save the trips to the dealerships.. anyone try one yet?

i posted on solihull society asking if it read the SLABS internal failure count and wheel speed sensor readings.

 

[michaels]

i've already decided i'm getting this if it truly reads and resets all the codes. i would pay that price in a heartbeat.

 

[MUSKYMAN]

that guy has done great stuff for the EAS owners I wouldent hesitate buying one of those from him.

I asked a few questions on LRO.

As soon as I get those answers I'm sure I will be ordering one as well.

And the timing couldn't be better!
My left rear just lightly squealed yesterday after 30K on my pads and rotors and set off the ABS and TC lights!:ack:

For the price of a dealer trip I can reset it myself and know the fault!
Sounds like a win, win to me.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, or haven't seen the correct information, but what does this box do differently than a code reader would do?

Are ABS codes not read and cleared by normal ODBII readers?

I haven't had the amigos (yet) so I'm clueless here.

Finally! I could have already bought this twice with trips to the dealer to reset random flaky wheel sensors/squeaky pads. Just ordered, we will see.

obd2 readers will not read the abs system codes on a D2. I think this guy's going to sell a shit of these...

That's pretty nifty, I might pick one of those up. Any reason it wouldn't work on a Mac?

Good question. I'd email Stoney and make sure.

If it works, buy it! I'm in the midst of returning my DEC SUperScan as it just didn't do what I needed it to do.

If this does what it's advertised to do, it's well worth it.

Looking forward to hearing about it.

Jimmy are you running fusion or bootcamp? it should work in either of those...

 

[varova87]

yep, waiting to see if it will work on a mac

$200 is a couple trips to the dealer or less. I've put off fixing my 3 Amigos mainly because I hate to get involved with/don't trust the dealer. Definitely worth the $$$ if it works as advertised.

i have the euroscan from snap on/off. they discontinuied it but still made in england and it works great for the trucks that come into my shop. wasnt real expensive.my .02

I watched the video, and to connect to your computer, you plug it in to a USB cable, and it becomes a USB flash drive with a text file on it, so it should work on either MAC/ windows..

Nope, that would be like performing a lobotomy on my Mac.

 

[disco2hunter]

He needs to go one step further and explain what the codes mean. Like from his video, what the hell is a 0:22 ref ground fault? I think it's pretty cool though. I'll start saving and when peolpe here post the code fixes I"ll get rid of the three little fricking amigos that have been blinding me at night for 2 years.
