If you just need to read codes one time, borrow the reader from an auto parts store.

If you need to read codes regularly, and/or zap the codes, get an inexpensive tool from a manufacturer like Actron.

If you want near-OEM-level coverage, get an AutoEnginuity ProLine tool and the enhanced package for the brand(s) of car(s) you have.
