OBD II Scanner Recommendation
 
As the title states I'm looking for a code scanner recommendation. My wife's 2006 Yukon has illuminated the ABS and TC fault lights and I can't read or reset these with my basic scanner. I have been looking at some of the higher-end Actron units but the reviews are not too good. Any help would be welcome.

Autel has good scanners.

For a long time I was considering a Durametric for my Boxsters, but the cost, VIN# limitations, Porsche Only, and complexity kept me from going through with it.

I bought an Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802 instead.
Autel MaxiDiag Elite MD802
It works well on a wide variety of cars and most modules.
Reset an airbag light on my '01.
Helped me diagnose a failing Crankshaft Position Sensor on the Cayenne.
Works on my wife's Honda Element and all my other OBDII cars.
Cost under $200 from Amazon and some reliable eBay vendors.
I am very happy with it.

Re: OBD II Scanner
 
Many thanks for the recommendations. After looking through the various models and their reviews I ordered the Autel MD802 Maxidiag Elite. It should arrive later this week and hopefully I can determine the issues with my wife's DD.
