Autel MS310 GREAT TOOL!!
I was expericing a check engine light on my 2000 Toyota Avalon and needed to read the code. My brother-in-law is in the auto repair business and suggested that I purchase a unit from Autel, he had the 309 version and this unit is the 310. The only difference between them is the case color. The 309 case is gray and the 310 is red.
This unit is well worth the money and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a professional tool at an affordable price.
The only item I would have liked is a longer cord so that I could put the unit on the passenger's seat while driving as it will collect data in real time for those stubbon problems. The 309 is still available and is supported by Autel US for softwatre updates. Autel US does not offer the 310 nor any updates but you will be able to get the updates and full product information on the MS310 from [...]
Have fun, BTW I fixed the Avalon,clogged fuel injectors.

Autel MaxiScan MS310 Worked great
Autel MaxiScan MS310 Worked great
Used it on a PT cruiser and Subaru to diagnose the check engine light. Was right on, with code and description of trouble. Easy to clear codes also. Paid for itself first time I used it.

Autel MS310 Better than I expected
Autel MS310 Better than I expected
I used this code reader on a 2005 Kia Rio. The only indication something was wrong with my car (Other than the check engine light) was a temp. gauge that showed my engine to be warming up a lot slower than normal. The Autel code reader gave me a code, plus three possible options as to what the problem might be. I took the code and went into my Kia maintenance manual, which showed the exact problem to be a thermostat stuck open. I replaced the thermostat and the check engine light went off and the temp. gauge showed my engine to be heating up normally again. This code reader took the guess out of what the problem might be.

Autel MaxiScan MS310 So far so good
Autel MaxiScan MS310 So far so good
I got the Autel OBDII scanner because I have an older car and occasionally get check engine lights. I read the codes and cleared without even reading the doc. When I get a minute I will check out the other features.
It Even Does Live Data Stream.
Works great on my 2002 Lincoln LS and 2003 Mustang. It even does live data which only more expensive units only do.

the Autel 310 is a handy little scan tool with BIG features! it will scan all OBII codes AND CAN codes as well. it will also tell you which protocol you are using! Great feature when you are smogging a car and need to know if you can get a RPM signal through the 16 pin port! it will also tell you the code definition and the manufacture specific code definition as well. it is updatable also. comes with a cd and update cable. it shows you data also (didnt i tell you BIG FEATURES!!!). long term and short term fuel trim, tps iac iat cts rpm are just a few! i like this so much, i bought two. one for my work(smog technician)and one for my home. highly recommend this!!

This thing is great! Does the same thing my friend's scanner does, but he paid $150.00 for his.
Reads codes very fast. Displays the possible trouble. Excellent buy. Ordered the other one but found out it has lead in the cable. This one doesn't.

Autel MaxiScan MS310 Great Code reader
Autel MaxiScan MS310 Great Code reader
easy to use. Menus are a little hard to navigate through. Gives you online data. I used it on a older model so the computer didn't display much data. It is able to reset service codes. I originally bought to reset the service light but thats not what these units are for. to reset service light do a internet search (typically odometer brake pedal and ignition in postion 2). Liked the unit can't beat the price

Autel MaxiScan MS310 Scanner
Autel MaxiScan MS310 Great OBDII scanner for a great price.
Pros:
-nice backlit screen with plenty of information (in contrast to lesser screens that can only display a 4 digit #)
-compact (easy to store in car)
-bright red color makes easy to find
-actually works with vehicles manufactured after 2000
-reads additional "readiness" codes and temperature/rpm/etc
-just 2 buttons, makes pressing the wrong button difficult (a good thing)
-low price
Cons:
-button "feel" could be improved a teeny weeny bit
Autel MaxiScan MS310 great little tool!
Terrific datalogger/analyzer and code reader/eraser. Has already saved me hundreds of dollars from perceived repair bills. I wished I'd bought it sooner as it's so easy to use. It retrieves data quickly and the display is easy to view. If you don't already have one of these, get one you won't regret it. Thanks Amazon!
Autel MaxiScan MS310 Live data is nice!
I chose this unit because it displays live data for troubleshooting a temperature sensor. Perfect!
I was disappointed that the unit would not read codes from two vehicles (a Saturn and a Toyota), and I even contacted the manufacturer. I got a quick response -- Thanks, Caroline! She was nice to me when I eventually apologized: The indicator lights in the vehicles were not "check engine" lights, they were stupid service reminder lights! Now, I just need to find out the tricks to resetting them: stand on one foot, wink three times with the key in run, or is it stick my tongue out four times with the key in accessory? Dang, the light is still on!
It is a good deal; go for it!
Autel MS310 Great help, even for amateurs.
Fortunately I have not had to use it just twice, so this review is not perfect, but even in these cases -because it worked very well- saved time and money. In case you are more than amateur, the saving can be even higher. Just get the necessary parts -if you need any at all- and do it yourself after this code reader -beside the code number- tells you what the problem is. After the problem solved, you can even reset the check engine light yourself.
Autel MS310 Works great.
Works great for troubleshooting a check engine light. It costs less than having a dealership scan your car once and also saves a trip to go get your car scanned for free at any of the auto parts stores that offer it. The descriptions it gives for each code also help.
You can clear codes and also view live data from the CPU while the car is running.
Autel MaxiScan MS310 Scanner great device
its amazing how much information this thing is capable of giving. I thought it would only give fault codes but the freeze frame data at time of fault and the live data from each sensor is extremely helpful when trying to troubleshoot difficult problems.
