Hi, I am Juraj “Yuri” Lukacko. I got frustrated by unhelpful and scammy mechanics, so I decided to learn everything about car diagnostics myself. I test dozens of new car diagnostic tools every month along with learning new strategies to fix and customize cars. About Juraj Lukacko (Yuri)
What OBDScanner would be best for Toyota HAICE Van and Toyota Coaster bus….year 2000 upward.

For that any cheap ELM or Code reader should be fine. For 2000 car you don’t need much, just read engine codes and live data. Or techstream cable if you have laptop.
I have a 2005 corolla (1zz-fe) gasoline, and none of the 4 scanners i have connects with it. Apparently this car is really pick for obd scanners, do you know any that works?
Which scanners have you tried? I had Launch Creader connected on Corolla about your year (don’t remember exact year but around 2002-2008) and it worked fine.
Hi Juraj – thanks a lot for all the work you do to help others. What would be the most complete tool for a Toyota RAV4 2017 Limited AWD – Petrol? My laptop and phone is Apple. I do not care about wired or BT – anything cheap but should do a detailed job so I can fix everything myself.
I can lookup code solutions online and how to fix them. But anything I can fix myself in my garage – that tool should be able to read, diagnose, reset and confirm that I have fixed the issue. Thank you again for your time and your help. I wish you well.
