Does your fancy scan tool read trouble codes on Hybrids? I had to go to the dealer for "a hybrid expert" to read diagnostic codes to trouble shoot the codes. The diagnostic test took over 4 hours and cost over $400 bucks. Does this sound right or am I being punished for buying a Nissan. The "expert" said it was the converter and would cost $8,000 to fix.
All code readers aren't created equal and neither are the cars they read. So yes a reader needs to be able to read all the computers in the car and all the manufactures oddities they may have added/changed (it's a standard but can be implemented differently).
With all that said the codes to indicate a bad cat can be read on that car with a $30 (maybe cheaper) reader. Find a good local mechanic is the best advice I can give you probably.
