| Ideas on a budget friendly bi-directional scan tool for DIY? | 13Relevance | 3 years ago | PamsHotTieGuy | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I've recently got myself an xtool D7 scan tool for under $500. Unfortunately, I had trouble communicating with several cars I work on. The tool just wouldn't communicate with my 1997 Lexus ES300. It was able to connect to my 1998 Honda CRV, but some basic data like engine coolant temperature was absent. Tried it on a 2003 Toyota Highlander V6; would connect but the software would hang and crash after a few minutes. The only vehicle I was able to get it working reliably on was a 2007 Toyota RAV4 V6. I'm not even going to try my dad's 1997 Toyota Tacoma. It a ... | |||||

| How do I fix DTC P1604 | 13Relevance | 3 years ago | Robwalker418 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello Scotty, Thanks for all your amazing content and honesty! You have saved me a ton of $ and headaches. You can see I have taken your advice below… I have a 2021 Tundra TRD PRO and I just hooked up the xtool D8 and got this P1604 error code. I recently replaced the battery. The only other thing is I have the hike-it 9X throttle controller. Could that throw these error codes? Also do you recommend throttle controllers or can they cause damage? Any advice is greatly appreciated, TIA | |||||
| I am retiring next year, need a car | 13Relevance | 3 years ago | zzziman56 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I am retiring late in 2023 and will need to purchase a car. I have it narrowed down to the following: RAV4, CRV, RDX, NX (non-hybrids). I plan on waiting until late next summer (hopefully prices will "soften"). I am not a "fan" of CVT's (had a Rogue in the past). How would you rank my choices? Also: I did get a great deal on a xtool D8, can you do more videos on how to use this scanner, including how/where to understand all the live data? If you do respond, how will I know? Thanks!

| How do I fix rough idle and misfire | 13Relevance | 4 years ago | Cpt Marvel | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Sorry for the delay in responding. I have been down for maintenance. It's throwing P050D and P0300. Cold start rough idle and engine misfire. I've changed the plugs and wires, properly seated, dielectric grease, antiseize compound, torqued to 11 ft/lb. Dealer service checked coils and injectors. Will the xtool check compression or anything else that may be of interest to me? 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L, 6 spd auto, 71k mi | |||||

| ... knock sensor code but I’m thinking that the missfire is causing knock code?? Then in turns out it also causes transmission not to shift to overdrive because of knock sensor code. I can clear code while driving then tranny will shift to OD. (No tranny codes) It runs descent in my option but once it warms up it starts idling up and down then throws codes and starts acting funny!!! I’ve replaced multiple sensors IAC, MAF, VVT…. I did another compression test on 246 cylinders and had 75+/- all cylinders but I also done a leak down test and it passed. (I’m thin ... | |||||

| ... so I put my BlueDriver on it, did not find a code but indicated a random misfire in cyl 6. Put and xtool D8 and same results. Changed plugs and wires and cleared the code. Several drive cycles and no issues. Took it do the GMC dealer service department for transmission flush and 4x4 service. When I picked it up the MIL/CEL light was on. Took it back in the event they screwed something up. They ran diagnostics on it and found nothing except for the rough idle and codes referenced. Even said that all of my coils, wires, plugs and injectors were working fine ... | |||||

| I will receive xtool d8 soon (tomorrow or a day after). Now I only have Innova regular scanner (not bi-directional) Probably D8 will make it easier; given all reviews. But I'd like professional thought to help me cruise diagnosing. If you up for challenge, how to diagnose with little to cheap resources? | |||||

| The more data you can gather and tests you can perform on a used car the better, however you also need to learn how to interpret the data and use the more advanced functions. It would probably be better to pay a good mechanic, who has a fancy scan tool and knows how to use it, to do a thorough inspection. | |||||

| 5V Reference 1 is 5.01 | 13Relevance | 4 years ago | Cpt Marvel | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... clear so I added. Now it seems overfull and I'll suck that out tomorrow. Dexron VI, yes. I put my xtool D8 on it and drove it around doing the "Live Data" for the engine and then for the transmission. Admittedly, I don't know how to use that darn thing very well. I drove it until the transmission temp was almost 160. The only things that it showed that were alarming was the 5V Reference is 5.01 on all of them, and (biggie) ECM (or ECU I forgot) Failure 2. Clue me? | |||||
