Will this ODB 2 reader work for 07 LS? Do I need one with a CAN-BUS?

 

bump i need to know as well

 

I asked a tech at the stealership, we need the CAN-BUS
cheapest one

 

I can't see it b/c work blocks the link, but if its a universal OBDII reader, it should work just fine. I bought an Actron reader off of Amazon for $50.

 

But I have an 07, I just have Auto Zone scan it before going to a stealership.

 

I bought an OBD-2 scanner I bought off the MAC truck at work.....50 bux and it works just fine. Should work for you

 

I believe i got the same one as you. I bought it on sale and keep it in my car at all times. Its the Mac ET-50 OBD2 reader. Its really handy and small.

 

yup, that would be it.....I mean I have my HP Tuners and stuff at home,, and the Tech 2 at work....but that little scanner stays in my car at all times, comes in handy

 

So, what is "CAN-BUS"?

 

Controller Area Network, basically, it's the communication line between the control modules in the vehicle

 

Anyone with 07+ 2.2 used a code reader without CAN-BUS?

 

Get a Dashhawk! They cost a little more, but are WELL worth it!

I bought a very nice Actron scanner but have been unable to get it to work on my Cobalt, despite the statement on Actron's website that ALL their scanners support the new CAN system. It does work perfectly on other cars however.

 

I just used a can and it didn't work on my 07 2.2l. Went to autozone used and checker. Neither would work, I don't want to go to the dealership. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Sometimes it worries me that my car is more intelligent than myself

Hence why I love working on my 68 Impala more
