I need some help from people smarter than me…
I’m going down the scan tool rabbit hole, the MTG2500 seems like a great deal but I just can’t find out if it’s bi-directional. Will it do an ABS bleed on our OBD2 trucks? Crank relearn?
The other scan tool option I’m thinking about is a pass through unit with a laptop and software which leads me to HP tuners. I know HP can be used to stream data and check codes but is it bi-directional? OR could I use the HP tuners pass through with another software that is? And does the data stream and scanner portion of hp tuners only work in the ECM it’s married too?
I rarely have use for a scan tool at work so I don’t want to be $2500 or more invested in one. I traded a solus pro in on a bigger tool box and all I have is a $5 code reader.
Can y’all point me in A direction? It doesn’t even have to be the RIGHT direction. I’ve worked on cars for like 17 years but my scan tool diagnostics experience is extremely limited. Most of the stuff I diagnose can still be done with a VOM, I can’t bleed the abs module on my truck with one though…
Here’s another random picture of my 97
