Need some help on this one. had seen a tool on the internet awhile back that was able to reset the check engine lights and airbag lights. with installing on newer cars it sometime happens that it will come on. I would like to buy one so I could reset it myself, instead of the dealership charging $50.00 for 2min. If anyone knows of a good tool that would help, please let me know.....

thank you...

I have the Autoxray - $199.

Does everything you will need for OBDII vehicles.

The scanner hooks in through the OBD2 plug if the vehicle is equipped with one. If it has something else, the scanner comes with those cables too. It has different chips you put on the cable for different makes of vehicles. It can read practically every sensor in the car.

I don't think you are going to get a scan tool that does SRS lights for less than $1000.

Here is a link to the one my shop has.
