Looks like "Autel AL619 OBDII/CAN Scan Tool" comes in two flavours, one in RED and another in BLACK. Is there any difference between these two?

It's just the updated model. The red one is newer. No difference though as long as it says that it will read and clear ABS and SRS codes.

I bought this as a gift for my brother. He LOVES it. It has already saved him money in repairs to his car.Marc Unger's answer is correct. It has a variety of adapters. My brother has used it on 3 of his cars (all of them date from latter 1990's to early 2000's). The Auto Scanner is definitely worth the price. Hope that helps.

The scanner is limited to powertrain (P), body (B), chassis (C), network (U) and some automatic transmission (A/T) codes. AL609 and AL619 can diagnose ABS/SRS codes.

I would recommend consulting directly with the manufacturer for this question, in case there are any differences in models of this vehicle anywhere other than the USA. That being said, the OBD-II protocol is the most widely used protocol for displaying diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), so it "should" work. Please also see my full review as I have other thoughts and concerns about this particular scantool.

says in booklet that it works on 1991-94 4.0L. v-6 with 8th vin digit X efi or mfi. Did scan on my truck cause tranny was slamming gears. Scanner listed bad component I replaced with free unit from junk vehicle and now my truck runs perfect. Buy this unit.

As always, no guarantees, but if the car was manufactured AFTER 1996, it should have the CAN OBD-II protocol built into the computer, which means that any scantool would work just fine. Please search for my full review of this product in order to get a better idea of whether or not this is the right scantool for you. This one has some advanced features that most people don't need, and it also has some features that don't quite work as advertised, which effectively means this unit doesn't quite measure up to some of the other scantools out there in terms of "bang for your buck".

Go by the model number, the description is used for both and someone didn't edit it I guess. (Make sure you have the orange selected at the top of the page).

More than likely, but that is a old protocol. This tool only does Global scan tool data, which means you only get to look at certain engine pids (perimeter IDs). It should work on that chrysler which has the connector for the scanner under the hood, but you will only be able to see if the vehicle has any engine or transmission codes since it is not a CAN (controller are network) vehicle. You can only look at live scan data if the vehicle uses can for communications.

Best bet is to check the code that looks similar to this "MC723G/A A1382". I accidently bought the right title and name but wrong code. So double check that and also look at the connection if they match on the picture. You'll be surprised how some of them have a slight difference between each year model. Good luck!

I spoke to a Tech. Rep from Plano this morning. She advised me that there is no difference between the red, yellow, or black handled versions. It's a color preference only.

I'm looking for a scanner that can read my abs and or brakes! I have the 3100 and it doesn't read my abs brakes airbags etc

Well, as of June 2008, there is a post in the CanoScan 8600 vs. 8800 discussion by CM-Monkey (I believe is his moniker) where he reports buying the V500 and the 8800 and his side by side comparison ends with Epson V500 the winner! So, where do we go now with this discussion? I'd rather not have to buy both scanners to do a side by side comparison myself.

OOps! sorry I gave a response thinking this was the alox model which I also have. It is the black plastic and great to carry because of its slim design. great tool to have.

Ordered the red as a gift for someone who uses a black one, i am mot really sure which is better however, the size of the red one seems peactical for someone who is a consistent user of the same tools, not too big but enough stotage room to hold more than one projects needs

It is identical to the older Adafruit motor driver which does have documentation available online. They are very similar in appearance.

what does work mean there are 3 tools here, OBD2, PCM scan , ABS, and SRS , for sure it works for the PCM ,heck even a $9 ELM does . the 2012 is can-bus. and yes this tool does that. OBD2 is a USA system, other countries use (none, JOBD, EOBD or OBD2 our) and varies from 1996 USA to 1998 canada to others in 2001 or 2010... in others. OBD2 is not a world spec.

It is red. I will find out the rpm on the tag of the tool later as I have it at a remote location. The tool works well. I have used it to take apart the scores of bolts holding together the front end of a 1997 for taurus in order to replace the radiator. I do not punish it as much as a professional mechanic would I suppose but it works fines for me. It speeds things up considerably.
