Make sure it will function with your car.
Not all scanners work for all cars especially older cars.
They usually list the model year and makes it covers.

I've got 2 a cheapo (10.99) I use for my 1999 Subaru Legacy/Outback.
Clears codes.

And a Zurich ZR8 (Harbor Freight) use this one on my 2000 Mazda B4000 (Ford Ranger in disguise).
It does not work on the subaru.
