GMC Tec Tools
If you own a General Motors Company (GMC) vehicle, then you need the right tools to locate and diagnose problems. Tech tools allow you to run scans on your vehicle and find the error codes associated with the problem. This is done by reading information from the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II) system. Once you figure out the problem, then you can repair it.
OTC PocketScan Code Reader
The OTC 3108 PocketScan Code Reader is a diagnostic tool that allows you to pull up and read the fault diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) on your vehicle. This tool also provides you with the definitions of the DTC codes, and it will erase any DTC code from your system once the problem has been fixed. Other features of this tool include that it can pull up information on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the inspection and maintenance (I/M) monitor. You can also obtain freeze frame, which allows you to see performance data on your vehicle at a certain moment in time. The set comes with a user manual and an OBD-II cable, which plugs into your vehicle. As of 2010, this tool costs between $65.00 and $70.00.

It is compatible with all GM vehicles made from 1992 through 2010. This tool is also scalable, which means that you can upgrade the system without having to purchase a whole new tool. You can use this tool to read DTC and failure code information, and you can also capture freeze frame information. This tool kit comes with power cables, a plastic storage case, code manual, adapter, 32-bit microprocessor and 32 megabyte (MB) Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) card. As of 2010, this tool costs between $3,500 and $5,300.
