MLLI18 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 I am looking for a decent (pretty affordable) scanner for my toolbox. I'm certainly no expert mechanic and I like to reach out to everyone on this site for input - there are a lot of experienced toolers on this forum. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm looking for something to read transmission temps specifically for fluid drain and refills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 I agree with the above recommendation and I will be getting that setup soon, but I also have an Innova 3170RS. I just used it to do the exact job you are talking about and it worked perfectly. You have to dig into the "service" menu, but transmission temp is there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
