OBD OBD2 SCANNER FAULT CODE READER READER DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
Looking for a recommendation for a suitable unit to check Transit 7/6?
Really looking to reset the engine management light on a 140 lwb 2008 Transit
fault already identified as perhaps MAP sensor (Dirty) and or crud build up on air boost slats.

Dealer recommendation "To drive it like you stole it!" perhaps will loosen crud!

Really would like a stand alone unit not one allied to tablet/laptop.
Just want to reset the warning light as I will have cleaned the MAP sensor.
Last clean lasted for 2k+ miles of easy driving.
Will now try the other approach!

MS509 will do the Mk7's....it's only a reader, shows live data and can reset codes...does nowt else though.!

I have one and it works well with my 2008 140.
