If it's the Actron Pocketscan that you bought than it doesn't have the model specific codes. For example P1128 won't be in the library of codes,but it's on Renntech.org & in the Bentley Manual so one way or another you will know what it is.

No. as I said in my post. My Actron came with a CD that has the model specific codes. I have already used it. Maybe the older version didn't but mine definitely does.
