In this video, I review and demonstrate my Actron CP9690 OBD-I and OBD-II Scan Tool with a focus on the ODB-I functionality for my 1985 IROC-Z TPI Camaro. This tool has been very helpful in diagnosing and debugging my new engine build as I restore my barn find IROC-Z. I show the menus, recorded data functions and live data on the running engine. It is one of the few tools available that support these old engines.
NEW CAUTION October 2023: These have been out of stock for some time. I just had a report from someone with a 1986 305 TPI that they are back in stock, he bought one and he can't make it connect. He reports that Actron technical support told him they made a software upgrade to the tool and it won't read Tuned Port engines any longer. I checked the Actron site and there is not any new software posted, it is the same as my older tool. Trying to confirm software level with him.
