1) the free one at auto zone
2) I think this is a toyota service tool that works on all toyotas and does have access to "toyota specific" functions. Probably not available to the general public.

Bull, I haven’t seen that one before, looks pretty good.
Here are a few others to look at. I like the ones that can read the actual voltages. This gives you the ability to install & adjust sensors. IE; the TPS sensor.

http://www.autoenginuity.com/index.html This one is the one I want but I haven’t compared it to the bull mentioned, but look similar
This is the one I had to get in a hurry, works ok.

I have the Equuis INNOVA 3110. I like it. Easy to use, etc. I paid $150 for it.
I bought the scan tool and FSM and they have already paid for themselves in savings.
It can also be used on the newer CAN equipped cars too.

I've got an Auto X-Ray it does the job, I think I have around $200 in it. Northern Tool and Supply.

I got it on sale at Kragen
The normal price was $199. I've see the 3100 for $100 frequently.

Mine is the 3030, not a bad, just a simple plug –n-play unit. The problem with the code readers is it just tells you what code is tripped and nothing else. I would rather be able to read the voltage that the sensors are sending to the ECU. Some data logging info would be beneficial as well.

The 3110 gives you freeze frame data when a code is tripped, i.e. rpm, engine temp, etc.
Used in conjuction with the FSM, I think a reader can be a valuable tool. Certainly, it has helped me with diagnostics.
Regardless, I've paid for the stuff with the savings in reading and resetting codes already.
