Amazon.com Product Description:
Is your car's check engine light on? If it is, your car is trying to tell you something and the Actron CP9135 OBD II AutoScanner speaks its language. Use this scanner to unlock the information stored in your car's computer. The scanner is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present.


The Actron CP9135 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View details.


Read and erase trouble codes with "hot keys."


Turn off that distracting "check engine" light.
In addition, the CP9135 is fully updateable, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, easy-to-read liquid crystal display that shows the trouble code and its definition. And although you still have to fix the problem, the scanner will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive.

The CP9135 is simple and easy to use. The attached OBD II 16-pin connector cable provides both data and power connections, while the eight-foot cable and rugged housing are both oil- and grease-resistant for added durability. Once the scanner is connected, the extremely user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. Use the Monitor Status and I/M Readiness (Inspection/Maintenance) function to determine if your vehicle is ready for an emissions test. The I/M Readiness is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to a state emissions program, so you'll have a good idea if your vehicle will pass the standards.

Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test--even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms. The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with the simple "hot keys" used to read and erase DTCs, make the CP9135 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.

Customer Reviews


substandard product not worth the price
Ordered this product for my husband a month ago for through Amazon. I'm wondering why the price has quadrupled when sold through a 3rd party vendor.

The excellent spouse asserts that he used this product a dozen different times on various makes and models of cars. After a few weeks, the lights on the read-out screen dimmed and the cord exhibited a faulty connection. Attempts to jiggle the cord and restart would work for a few minutes, and then the unit would shut down. After a few such efforts, it failed to restart at all.

He is extremely disappointed and finds the product to be of poor manufacture.


great buy
this scanner works just like they say you have everything you need to scan your auto. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!


A must for your car
I had a check engine light on. the dealer wanted 150$ to hook up the diag. Bought this diag. Turns out all I needed was a new gas cap. It paid for itself the in about 2 mins. A must for your tool box these days.


I'm glad I read the reviews
I had thought about buying the least expensive OBD II on Amazon. I bought it for my daughter's 1995 Volvo 850 GLT. It has an onboard computer system that will show you the codes. It is very difficult to turn the Check Engine Light off. I replaced the heated O2 sensor and just wanted to turn the Check Engine Light off. A reviewer had said how easy this model was to use and read. I am glad I sent the extra money. It was "easy" to read and to use. Thanks for putting those reviews on Amazon.
Yours truly,A Happy Customer


Will easily pay itself off.
I have two cars and between the two of them I will have at least one check engine light yearly. The codes were simple to read and understand, and even easier to clear the codes. Being a novice mechanic, the diagnostic codes in this device will serve me well. What it doesn't have will probably mean I should take it to the mechanic anyway.

It's a good tool to have in a tool kit, plus is relatively inexpensive.


I could not get the CD to work however. But it appears to be not completely necessary.

deltran 1.25 amp battery tender
This charger/tender works exactly as promised. I like the fact that you dont need to babysit it. My only concern is that it gets very warm while charging my trolling battery. That may be normal but should there be a problem, there is a 10 year warranty. How many products do you know of which have THAT?


Excellent Product
The Deltran SuperSmart Battery Tender Plus 12-volt 1.25 AMP Battery Charger has done the job for me exactly as expected. I keep my fold-down travel trailer in my garage all year around, except when I use it for camping.
I had another brand of trickle charger hooked up to the battery on my trailer, but it eventually overcharged my battery, causing it to burn out. This Deltran Battery Tender brings the battery up to full charge, then shuts off automatically until the charge goes down a bit, then brings the charge up to normal again. I highly recommend it.


Great Product
I purchased a couple of these units for cars that are store for a week or two between drives. The choice of cables allowed me to set things up so that I dont ever need to access the battery or leave a door/window open. I just plug the unit in and my batteries are always fully charged. After having to jump start cars a couple of times, it is really great to get into the car and have it "come to life" instantly!

Great product. Worth every penny. I recommend the 25" extension too...


Excellent little battery charger!
I have a 1967 Ford truck that can be quite a drain on the battery at times, especially during the colder months. I purchased this before last winter, and never once had an issue with the battery being too low or too cold, despite some pretty frigid temps. I set this on a shelf just in front of and above my truck, and leave the lead to the charger hanging. I then wired the battery end to my battery and channeled it so the plug end can be pulled through the grill. It's nearly invisible when it's not in use, but is very quick and easy to plug up. I've gotten used to just plugging up the truck every time I'm done with it, and this little puppy brings it up to full charge fairly quickly!

Highly recommended, especially if you have an older car that either doesn't get driven much or is a heavy drain on the battery.


Perfect little product!
I actually own one of these. I have it on my 4 wheeler that I use mainly for plowing in the winter. It works like a champ keeping my battery always perfectly charged and ready to go. It does the charging without harming the battery by doing a computerized discharge and charge. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has a problem with battery's going dead on cars, atvs, boats or anything with an automotive battery. The included quick connect clips are super easy to install and make it easy to just plug in when the vehicle is not in use.
