Finally found a decent scan tool for the Pathfinder

The Roadi RDT69 Scan Tool

I've only done a quick "oh please read this damn car" test for about 10 minutes, but it seems like a pretty decent tool. I picked it up on Amazon a month ago for $112.99, so a great price for a scan tool that will also view and record live engine data!

When I play with it some more, I'll let you all know how it works out.

It looks like a decent reader and it's about the same price and function as the actron readers. What does the live view show you?

[Suliman]

I'll try to run it tomorrow and see what it shows... from my first glance, it was quite a bit... I have to clear that stupid code I keep getting due to my VCV stuck open anyway.

Ok, live Data reads (not a continuous read when recording, only every X amount of seconds, I'll have to check amount of time X is)...

• DTC_CNT
  FUELSYS1
  FUELSYS2
  LOAD_PCT(%)
  ETC(degF)
  SHRTFT1(%)
  LONGFT1(%)
  SHRTFT2(%)
  LONGFT2(%)
  RPM(/min)
  VSS(mph)
  SPRAKADV(deg)
  IAT(degF)
  MAF(lb/min)
  TP(%)
  O2S B1S12--B2S12--O2B1S1(V)
  SHRTFTB1S1(%)
  O2B1S2(V)
  O2B2S1(V)
  SHRTFTB2S1(%)
  OBD
  MIL_DIST(mile)

It give the options of 60 entries for three different data store location.

I'm liking it so far, and I keep finding little nuggets with it as well. I haven't tried the software or connection to the PC yet. I may just RTFM and see what else this tool can do.

I don't see Transmisison Temp on there....

I believe it's in there, but I'll check. I think it's on another screen.

Can you tweak anything?

[Suliman]

So far, no, only clear codes and view the system for diags.

Yeah, being able to tweak would be awesome, but that would make this tool about $1000 more bucks, hehe.
