93 3.3 DRB II Scan tool

If you're speaking of the infamous Bendix 10 ABS system that was used from
1990-1993, then a scanner
isn't required to bleed the brakes (but is for diagnostics). I've never had
to use one to bleed, and the FSM doesn't mention the need for one either.

OTC did put out an ABS catridge for the 4000E but I have no idea if it
covered Chrysler ABS.

Not at all. You need an extension cable. OTC makes one and you can find them
on Ebay. I don't have the part number
handy.

 

There is no option to bleed the brakes on the DRB but when you go into
acuate/hydraulic and then open and close the solonoids it makes bleeding the
system very easy and fast. alot of Techs dont know this because it wasnt
written in any of the diagnostic books

 

You can buy a DRB scan tool from Chrysler. It's listed on the their
Tech Pubs site. But I don't think you will want one when you see the
price. It's over $6,000. Take Daniel Stern's advice and use an OTC
scanner. A OTC2000 or OTC 4000 will do fine for a 93. You can find them
very reasonable on eBay.

 

man we are are getting overrun
the hours are racking up

 

naw warranty work is not a common thing anymore
see the thing is, the common person can't work on their own vehicle
anymore
for the most part so we are making a ton of money then add to that
america is generally getting lazier we techs are making more than we
have before

 

No shit? Gee, when did this all start?

That's very profound Darryl, it's like saying "I'm older then
I've ever been before."

 

Ebay had the complete kit, wires, DRB3 and cards for 2000.00. There are
lots of the old DRB2 on there also

 

That's great if all you're ever likely to work on is ChryCo
vehicles, the OTC and the Snap-On will work on a variety of
domestics, Asian imports and European imports not to mention that
the OTC and S-O often come with troubleshooting software that
would be a great assistance for the DIYer who doesn't have ready
access to specifications, sensor values or known insider fixes
(silver bullets).

I think once a DIYer invests in such a tool, he'd be anxious to
amatorize out his investment using on friends and family vehicles
also.

 

The DRB3 is also a generic scan tool which will do all 96 models that are
OBD2 ready

 

actually if you were as smart as you are a smart ass you would know that the
drb3 works on all vehicles in the us market for pulling emission codes

 

Okay, Glen says that the DRBIII will do generic OBD2 on 96 and
newer, you say that it will work on all vehicles in the U.S.
market. Which one of you should we believe?

When you say that it will pull "emissions codes," at best one
might believe that it will pull generic OBD2 codes which means
that it lacks manufacturer specific or enhanced code/data stream
capability which in effect means that in the mode you cite, it's
1/4 to 1/3 of a scan tool on non ChryCo vehicles.

When you get the chance, see how well it does on an OBD2 Ford at
retrieving miss-fire data; current and historical. Since the NGS
doesn't even do miss-fires and it's the factory tool for Fords,
the DRB would be one hell of a tool.

 

That is not true either pal, it shows sensor values, its used as a dual
trace lab scope,its a number of things, Hey dont take it so serious, learn
to enjoy life, dont be an ass hole forever

 

Hey Mic, I posted to you on the last one that was directed to your asshole
fan cuda, Damn eyes dont work the way they used to, But the DRB3 will
work on any vehicle with the OBD2 connector, you just gotta make sure you
set it up as a generic scan tool at the start. It does show values sensors
and code, and can also use the dual trace lab scope with them also

 

Since this is a reply to Darryl's post, it would appear that
you're disagreeing with him, and calling him an asshole.

 

"Generic scan tool", same as what an OTC or Snap-On will do, same
as what a $99 Harbor Freight scan tool will do. He should spend
six thousand dollars (read: wipe his ass with $100 bills) for
-what- reason again?

But not ALL sensor values, and he'd be limited to the generic
OBD2 stuff, excluding any use on ABS, body computer, transmission
computer on non ChryCo stuff since none of it is part of the OBD2
protocol.

Generic OBD2 codes, no manufacture specific or enhanced codes, no
ABS codes, not transmission codes on non ChryCo vehicles.
And Mode 6, is that displayed as hexidecimal? Does he get to
stay chained to his PC so he can do the conversions, if so, he
might just as well buy scan tool software for $200-$500.

WOW, dual trace lab scope. The rest of us have graduated to 4
trace and 8 trace lab scopes.

And in the end, the DIYer OP still doesn't receive the benefit of
Pathfinder or Troubleshooter software.

Sorry Glen, your recommendations for a phallic extension totally
miss the mark.

 

I work on Chryslers, I just know it will pull codes and certain things, that
is why it is generic

 

well read on pal......Hey Mic, I posted to you on the last one that was
directed to your asshole
fan cuda, Damn eyes dont work the way they used to,

 

Obviously you don't know the definition of "generic" as applied
to OBD2 diagnostics.
In this case, it means that the user will get some very basic
rudimentary information, i.e., a few codes and a few sensors.

The OP could have so much more in the way of versatility for much
less money.

Cost versus benefit, it isn't -that- hard to figure out.

 

I did, all I saw was more of your inane ramblings.

Young love... ...how romantic.

Honestly you two, we really don't need to know the specifics,
especially when you name body parts.

 

Yes I no that is what that means, If you read I said it reads faults and
values, I do know it wont do everything because its GENERIC, and I
understand that for someone who wants to use it for a certain car would be
better off with an after market tester,I dont work on fords, chevy or
anything else therefore i dont know what it can do except read values and
codes. You and a number of your idiot friends such as Daniel Stern try to
analyze everything and turn it into bullshit debates.....<<you just gotta
make sure you

and code, and can also use the dual trace lab scope with them also>>>> In
