It is a software program. I dont know what it costs now. I think when I bought it a few years ago it was like $15 and I think it is around $25 now.

You also need a consult cable for it. You can get a nice one that costs more than $100 Which will work with better more extensive programs, however you can make your own for cheap or buy some of the cheaper ones and they will work fine for datascan use.

It allows you to view live as well as log all of the oem sensors your ecu is using to make your engine run. You can see if it is throwing codes, what they are, clear them ect.

You can also alter (temporarly) some sensors data in order to diagnose things without actually changing physical parts, lock timing, clear self learn (which there isnt much self learn in these early ecus) or alter base timing. Even can kill cylenders individually.

It is the BEST tool you can have on your side for this problem. Dont just throw parts at it, such a waste of time and money!
