Using Smarty as a scanner....

[pwerwagn]

Has anyone else used their smarty as an OBD scanner on another, non-cummins, vehicle? Or will it even allow this?



Im just curious if I can use my S-06 to scan my other vehicles.

Wouldn't work on my wife's Toyota Highlander

My CR smarty JR won't read codes on my 02 24v cummins either. Have read it is supposed to but I can't get it to work.

i think ive read that it will only work with cummins powered trucks in other words

it will just work on our trucks.

and remeber you can use it as a scanner on many trucks it will not be locked

Ive used it as a scanner on many 3rd gens. . but I cant get it to scan anything other than 3rd gens.

Im assuming that's because of the PTC portion, its 3rd gen specific perhaps. I was just curious if anyone else had tried and had luck since I did not.

I was able to use mine on my girlfriends '02 Durango, it worked well then. My smarty is a S-04 upgraded with the POD. I haven't tried it on the Durango since it was upgraded with the POD.

It worked on the PT Cruiser.

I tried it again Saturday for grins on my 02 grand cherokee. Just says "turn key on, hit >" then "turn key off, hit >" over and over, then finally tells me "connection error" after about 10 times of that game.

Odd that it worked on your PT... maybe I should come try your smarty haha.

Oh, and I even removed the smarty from my truck for the heck of it, to see if the vin lock made a diff... nope. Un-Vin locked, same story.
