Is buying an OBD scanner worth it?
No it is not worth the cost. If you live in the states almost all major auto parts chains (Advance Auto, Autozone, etc) will do a check or even loan you the tool for free. Unless you’re checking codes daily, it may be cost prohibitive. The error codes produced by OBD2 are rather generic.
