I need to purchase a code scanner to obtain air bag codes for accident reconstruction documentation. I went to Auto Zone and looked at Actron OBD-II scanner. Called toll free number on package while at Auto Zone and customer rep said this particular model $159.00 would not pull air bag codes. The packaging says body, chasis, etc. Does anybody have one of these scanners and if so is this true. Seems to me that if a code is stored in the computer why would it matter if it was an air bag code or an emission code. Any advise would be appreciated or recommendation for an affordable OBD II code reader. Thanks

 

I know the exact model of scanner (CP9006 I think is the model)you were looking at. I am not for sure if it will pickup air bag codes but what I do know is that we sell it where I work at Advance Auto, only thing is that it is alot cheaper there, right now it is 150.00 with $50 dollars off so about 100+ with tax. If you have a Advance close to you check with them might get it cheaper. If you want I can check tomorrow and get back to you on here or at an email.
