Autel MX808 Scanner review on Toyota 4Runner 2015

My new tool arrived today: Autel MaxiCheck MX808!!

I am driving a 2015 4 Runner SR5. Just tinkering with it for a bit I already love it. Found several DTCs that did not trip the check engine light, so will need to investigate those (some SRS and ABS ones, as well as a few others). This thing gives a crap ton of info. Was watching the graphs of my A/F (O2) sensors, as I am fairly sure they are not running optimal. Did not see the voltage switching I think they should be at after throttle and return to idle. Going to research it more.

It showed me the current PSI reading in all four tires, plus the air temp in the tires (one DTC was in TPMS that I need to research), so I can see I want to air up one tire a bit. Reviewed the CAT sensor temps (two temps) so will research that to see what that is telling me about the status of my CAT. Looks like my MAF may be running a bit high. So much data that I now need to learn what the baseline/range values should be.

There is some awesome data I can capture while the engine is running and the tires moving. Will have to get my son to pilot while I check the values.

A few more pics of MX808 scanner:

Comes with the case and inside the case:

Has the cable, the power adapter, and the manual (the unit is out in this pic). Nice case to keep it safe and sound.

Of course I needed to update everything, so for the last two hours or so have been updating the firmware and all the modules. One year of updates comes with the purchase price, then it is over a $100 a year to keep updating (I think was the cost). You can run it without the updates, you just won't have the newer car info, bug fixes, things like that. The company said you can opt out of annual updates then jump back in later and just patch t all up then, so you don't have to update every year.

You jump into the Diagnostics app and do all the trouble codes and live data fun. You can also do a ton of service stuff. This tool is really an entry into pro/shop kind of functionality. This model is in the $400 range - you can get nicely into the four digit dollar zone on these. I can change several programming features of the car with this model. Going to have some fun!!
