Default Code reader/clearer for 08+ STi?

Hi Guys,

Anybody know of a decent (and preferably low cost!) code reader/clearer that'll work on the 08+ STi? Must be able to read/clear CANbus fault codes, not just engine/ecu.

Stand alone or software + cable.

Thanks, Neil

Thx Carl, interesting site, haven't come across that one before.

What I'm really after though are user recommendations for specific products. I don't want to buy something only to find it can't do what I need it to do.

Anyone???

For want of a more tech explanation I'm fannying around with the VDC control module, DCCD control module, Lateral G/Yaw sensor and steering angle sensor. I need to see what effect any changes I make are having on the rest of the system i.e. will the system realise that something has changed or will it throw up a CANbus error code and if so which code. And I need to be able to clear any error codes that do arrise.

At the moment I'm having to blag a few minutes use of SSM3 to check but it would be so much easier if I could do it myself from home.

Out of interest, what are you using?

Cheers, Neil
