Amazon.com Product Description
The MaxiScan MS300 CAN OBD-II Code Reader provides auto
enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers with an easy, portable and economic
way to check Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and their definitions for
OBD-II compliant vehicles. OBD-II is the second generation of onboard
diagnostics and has been a mandatory requirement for all vehicles sold
in the US since 1996, both domestic and imports. The MS300 supports all
current OBD-II protocols--communications between your car's components
and systems--including the newly released Controller Area Network (CAN)
protocol. The included CD containing 7,000 DTC definitions allows you to
troubleshoot a wide variety of generic, manufacturer-specific and
pending trouble codes, and drawing power from your car's own electrical
system the unit does not require batteries or an AC adapter. Simply plug
it in via its standard 16-pin OBD-II connector at the first sign of
trouble and start diagnosing, regardless of your post-1996 car's make or
model. Complete Features:

Works like a charm.
For less than $ 20, this thing performs like an expensive one. Saved
me a couple of hundred dollars for not having a mechanic check and fix
the service engine soon lights. Read more

Works great - especially considering the low price.
Works pretty good, though I do have a few gripes about some of the
information it conveys. Obviously not as detailed as some (much) more
expensive units. Read more
