best OBD II scanner for 2003 Accord or newer Hondas

For the budget-conscious, consider jumping terminals 4 and 9 of the
OBDII Data Link Connector and counting flashes of CEL, per
http://hondatuning.info/how-to-read-diagnostic-trouble-codes-dtcs-without-an-obdii-scan-tool/.

The same method may be used to read ABS and SRS codes when the ABS
light or SRS light is on.

 

how's mentioning Google "snide"?
I can do MUCH better at "snide".

I agree that the OP seems to not know much about the OBD systems.

Just wait until integrated console controls become widespread.
Where a LCD display,touchscreen and microprocessor controls your dash,your
radio,heater,AC,NAV system.etc.
strictly company specific(custom),and once it's out of
production;irreplacable and the death of your car.

Planned obsolesence.

so why haven't manufacturers programmed in a mileage limit? "100,000
miles and the car dies after next switch-off". they could have done
that 20 years ago.

 

you're hilarious.

no, i'm absolutely serious. your engine computer can be programmed to
stop running after "x" miles, "y" engine revs, or "z" operation hours.
no problem. you'd never know - your car would simply fail to start
after you've just come out of mcdonalds, [can't have it shut down while
operating and potentially causing a crash] - you'd just have to pay the
dealer $3k to get it going again. that's five lines of code. or less.

 

Most are aware that they had been standardized, but including a USB
port would be a no brainer, considering how prevalent the interface is
these days.
