GS 430 Diagnostics Scanner

[Smellyone]

I've been searching the forum for a while for advice on a diagnostics reader for a 2003 GS430 Sport, as the engine management light came on a couple of weeks ago and my local service garage was unable to diagnose the fault.  I wasn't able to find anything concrete in terms of what would definitely do the job so I turned to my old mate amazon for advice.  Having read a number of reviews I ordered the following INTEY OBDII Car Vehicle Fault Code Reader Auto Diagnostic Scan Tool, Read and Clear Error Codes for 2000 or later US, European and Asian OBD2 Protocol arrived yesterday and dodging the rain today, i'm delighted to say it works perfectly, just need to check out the 02 sensor circuit back 2 sensor 1.

So if you're after a diagnostic sensor for an early ish GS 430 would definitely recommend this scanner.

looks very similar to the one I have.

 

I think any will work on the later cars (post 2000), it only seemed to be the early GS300's that weren't properly ODB2 compliant.
