Car model and year: Land Rover Discovery 2
Purpose:
To be able to rest the SRS light and see if it tells which ABS sensor is throwing a code (maybe its not that smart).
User: DIYer, better handheld scanner.
Tool to consider to have:
- Nanocom: the GEMS Disco unit only supports the engine ECU, not any others.
- P38s: one dead, one working
- MSV line: seems to cover those but runs on a computer and is much more expensive due to hardware and module cost.
Then, what tools are tested OK to cover all systems of Discovery 2?
Review 1: I have this one:
http://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/autel-autolink-al619-srs-abs-obd2-can-scanner.html
It reads/erases ECU, SRS and ABS codes for EVERYTHING – including Ferraris. I’ve used it on Chevys, LR, BMW, VW, Cadillac, Mercedes, Nissan…
It doesn’t change BCU/ECU settings or activate ABS valves, but for diagnosing and resetting codes, it’s tough to beat for $120.
I have not used it on a D1, just my D2.
That said, for the BMW I had, I bought an adapter to get to the ABS/SRS units. Like this:

Review 2: Foxwell NT520
Foxwell NT520 will fully cover your P38, and some D1 functions due to its similarity to GEMS P38.
