Equus 3100 OBD-II Scan Tool Works Great !!!
My SE just threw a code and I wanted to find out what it was before I took it into the dealer. I noticed an ad in Parts for Sale for an Equus 3100 OBD-II Scan Tool. I decided to purchase one locally and it works GREAT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I agree with you that its a great product...I bought one to diagnose ignition coil problems on my dad's '99 GLE....I paid $135 from Summit Racing and ended up having to replace only 2 coils...I figure I'm waaaayyy ahead of the game....the dealer wanted to replace all 6 coils @ $80 a piece + a couple of hours of labor @ $86/hr....instead I get to keep the tool which also works on my '03SE

that's a neat thing to have among close friends...if you could pull some friend of yours then each person can just pay little to own this thing...besides, you won't need this everyday anywayz.

Needless to say, I'm glad I didn't have to waste a trip to my dealership only to have them say that they didn't have the correct part in stock. That alone was worth the price of the scan tool.

DTC P0138 . . . the infamous Bank 1 Rear O2 Sensor. Repairs are covered under TSB NTB01-016B. I called my dealer and they're ordering the sensor. It should be in next week.

Did you just know that code, or do you have a reference?

Check this out. The code reader comes with three (yes, that's THREE) Owner's Manuals . . . one printed in English, one in Spanish and one in French. As if that's not enough, the complete Owner's Manual is available on-line at:
http://www.iequus.com/manuals/3100E.pdf
The manuals contain a complete listing of generic (P0) DTC codes as well as manufacturer-specific (P1) codes for several manufacturers. Unfortunately, Nissan isn't among the manufacturers listed. But if you get a P1 code, just post it here and someone with an Electronic Service Manual can decipher it for you.
