Yes, this device will clear your check engine light. It also has build in programs that will change performance settings, such as economy mode and performance modes.

I bought one for my 2010 BMW X5 and it connects and reads OBD II codes but not read the new BMW specific codes which I need to diagnose some problems.

Any car with a OBDII port, that's 1996 and NEWER have the port someplace. Any scanner these days can read the Generic OBDII Engine codes!!! There are also Enhanced OBDII codes that are more Specific for GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc that a cheap Scanner can't read, well some do kind of. Of course there's also ABS, AirBag, Heating

No, this will read the code the car's computer is saying is a problem. You can look up the code on the internet and that may lead you to the problem. Tell your mechanic to fix it. This device just reads codes.

thats a rich code, you probably have some kind of vacuum leak or unmetered air. Clear it and see what happens but it probaly will come back. talk to your mechanic before you clear a code is always a good practice.

A cheap generic scanner just reads and displays the DTC (diagnostic trouble codes) codes and lets you clear them and turn off the Check Engine light. The CP9180 also lets you read the various power train (engine) sensors such as coolant temp, engine speed, vehicle speed, timing, etc (there are literally dozens). It also monitors emissions systems status, such as whether your EGR system has passed its self-test and is properly working. All the emissions systems must be "Ready" in order to pass the state emissions tests. The CP9180 only monitors the powertrain computer. It doesn't work with the air bag, transmission, ABS, anti-theft or other body modules that may be present in your car.

Yes it reads both 1 an 2, you have an OBD2 port so you should have no problem. The majority of people have trouble connecting the port because special sized ports, not the software itself also make sure your battery is fully charged.

Not sure. Occasionally the O2 sensor throws a code for other systems being out of spec. It's not always the sensor itself. Also on O2 sensors, get someone to clear the code. You can drive around for several cycles and it may clear on its own, if all is well. But it will take a few trips/few miles.

Go to a Volvo dealer it needs a different type of computer to read that type of code.

Seems to pull engine codes otherwise worthless does not do other operations mentioned in advertising. I am only experienced in American models

I highly doubt it, Unless your looking for codes that will set your MIL, or check engine light. So if the light isn't on, for say a trans slip code, P0700, i would say no. this tool also won't provide data stream, So codes only from the pcm. No bcm tcm abs reading ability.
