2024 LAUNCH Creader Elite OBD2 Scanner for Toyota Lexus, Full System Bi-Directional Diagnostic Scan Tool, All Reset Service Code Reader, Battery Registration,ECU Coding, AUTO VIN,Lifetime Fr-ee Update

I was trying to fix my wrecked car. 2016 rav4 hybrid. got all the body work done but had srs airbag malfunction alarm See Dealer. I bought this device and after i figured out how to use it it read more codes than i wanted to see. It emailed them to my pc for printout also. I needed to clear a B1650 and a B1787 code. This required a zero calibration of a rear seat occupancy detector. It did the Job and cleard my annoying alarm. Love this device Highly recommend it.

I purchased this to check the diagnostic codes on my 2003 Toyota Matrix and 2015 Toyota RAV4. Inside the box comes a usb charger, Users manual and quick start guide along with the scanner. The scanner has a 4" display and is encased in a rubber case. The cord that plugs into the OBD2 port is sturdy. A protective cover comes on the end of the cord to protect the terminals on the end of the plug.Upon the first time that you plug the scanner into a car's OBD2 port, it needs to be set up via WiFi. I tried connecting to my WiFi but it wouldn't connect. Instead, I used my cell phone as a wireless hot spot. The scanner connected right away then. Set up included setting the desired language, country, and time zone. After that, the device gives you the option to download updates. There were a number of updates. It didn't take long to update (I was surprised).After performing updates, the scanner is ready for use. Since I already had it connected to my 2003 Toyota Matrix, I decided to use perform diagnostics. The scanner has a nice feature where it will scan your cars computer for the VIN code. I have another scanner that I've used and that will either detect the vehicle or ask you to manually put in the model. This scanner didn't find the VIN on my Matrix so I had to put it in manually (that was a pain). I figured out that I didn't have the ignition switch to the on position. The scanner never prompted me to do so. I thought that was odd.Anyway. I was able to pull the error codes off of my Matrix. The one function that I really liked is that you can send a vehicle diagnostic report to an email recipient. I sent one to myself and it looks great. The diagnostic functions for the 03 Matrix were about what I've seen with my other scanner. I hooked it up to my 2015 Toyota RAV4 and it pulled the VIN number right away. I turned the vehicle to the on position after I plugged it in this time. There were a number of more diagnostic items available for this vehicle. Probably because it's newer.The scanner comes with free upgrades and a number of downloadable options that are for an additional fee. I didn't really see anything additional that would apply to either of my vehicles. The display is easy to read. A bigger screen would be nice for those of us that fat finger the on display keyboard. The user interface was a little different from my other scanner. It took a while to figure it out.Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. The scanner does what I purchased it for. It reads codes and even gives you the option to get more information on any error codes that are set. It's got a built in web browser. It is run by an android OS. It's nice that it came with an actual paper copy of the owners manual. It does describe the functions pretty well. The quick start guide is a bare minimum of functionality. It's a good scanner.

The page seems to promise free lifetime updates, but the Creader Elite manual clearly says "Use of the dianostic software pre-installed on the tool is free of charge forever, but the free update period is only the first year."This page states repeatedly states things such as:- "Lifetime Fr-ee Update"- "Lifetime F.r.e.e Update"- "The Launch Creader Elite Engine Code Reader Tool for Toyota provides lifetime f.ree software update for all Toyota and Lexus vehicles without any subscription fee. One-click online f.r.e.e update to enjoy the latest feature and a wider range of models anytime."Notice the misspellings of "free" on the page as "fr-ee", "f.r.e.e", "f.ree". There are no correct spellings of "free". I suspect that misspelling are deliberate so that they can later claim that 'we never said it was "free", we said it was ""fr-ee", "f.r.e.e", "f.ree"' followed by some ridiculous explaination for what those acronyms mean.I contacted the manufacturer who seemed to confirm that there are not lifetime free updates, stating that the dealer marketing page represents the seller's personal understanding only.Maybe it's a good product, maybe it's not. Maybe it's worth an annual subscription. I will never find out because I can't support what seems in my opinion to be deceptive.

Was able to diagnose a bad wheel speed sensor on a 2019 Toyota sienna which shut down ABS, AWD, Cruise Control, Traction Control and warning kept flashing on the dash. I ordered an Aisin Rear speed sensor and installed on the passenger rear. Once the new part part was installed I was able to “reset” the fault and got all the functions back. If you have a newer Toyota, this should help if you need to diagnose warning lights- it definitely helped me and made the process much easier than taking it to the dealer or putting a Techstream cable and wondering if it would work

Works great. We have two Toyotas that I do most of the work on. A 21 sequoia and an 01 Land Cruiser. I’ve had great success with each platform in regards to diagnosing issues and clearing codes. Runs great, hooks up to home WiFi for updates and is durable as well.
