by Here are some new customer reviews about Vident iLink400 scan tool. Hope it helps.
Review 1: It’s worth the money.
I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu that i replace the throttle body. People told me to keep driving it and the car will learn itself. I drove my car around for two weeks and it was still idling high. I hook this code reader up and reset the throttle body and it now works perfectly. It took less than 5seconds to rest it. I very pleased with this product. The Chevrolet dealership was going to charge me 280$.
Review 2: Perfect Tool
I recently replaced my Throttle Body in a 2011 GMC Sierra and had gone through the entire relearn process with no success. Drove for days with extremely high idle and acceleration issues! Finally took a gamble and ordered this ilink400 scanner, hooked it up and it was fixed in 2 seconds. Well worth the money as this will be useful for many other servicing projects through the years for my vehicles. Highly recommend, well worth the money.
Review 3: Works on my Dodge 3500
I have been able to fix my ABS issue with this device, and do some additional testing of other components that would normally only be done by a dealer, or someone with a starscan. I logged into the web site and was able to download the latest patches for the unit and the diagnostics. Vident ilink400 came pre-loaded with the Chrysler software, so it was plug and play, but I do recommend patching to the latest code though. You cannot do programming with this on the ram 3500, as far as I can tell.
Review 4: Great product very nice
This ilink400 scan tool is great for older Hummers. Can do a crank relearn and showed a code that other scanners didn’t. This is a must have for 2004 ish Hummer h2
Review 5: Best Inexpensive Scanner for GM Powertrain/ABS/SIR
King of the Inexpensive Scanners!!
This is a review of the GM functions on the latest download of the GM update. Tested on 2001 Blazer 4×4 (J1850 VPW), 2004 Avalanche 4×4 (J1850 VPW), 2006 G6 GTP (CANBUS). What is available depends on the vehicle it is hooked up to (this is a very good thing). PIDs appear to be adequately filtered.
For Avalanche had to enter vehicle manually. This vident ilink400 scanner has ABS Brake Bleed, Injector Testing, Case Relearn (crank sensor relearn) and reads Cam Sensor Retard. And this is just barely scratching the surface. I scrolled through the Powertrain PIDs for the three vehicles and all the pertinent enhanced GM ones seem to be there. Reads and clears codes for individual modules like ABS, SIR, Powertrain, BCM, HVAC, etc. Also has some PIDs for various modules and some bidirectional controls. However found nothing for TCCM (4WD) module. It did have most modules (ABS, Transmission, Entertainment, SIR, Powertrain, etc) for the G6 and did find an error code with my radio (which does have a problem). Don’t know how this would work on 2013+, but as I understand up to 2012 CANBUS should be pretty much the same.
Functionality will depend on what you are hooking this up to, but on the GM it looks like they give you way more than most $500 software packages – so five stars from me!! Cheaply made in China – but for the money……………… this is a must have if you are serious.
To be continued…
