Hi goinI have access to a snap on solus g to try and diagnose my new to me rig. I have access to a snap on solus scanner. Will this work? or do I need to buy that other thing ?
Thanks Stoby

What's the Snap On application guide say? Can't say I recall anyone mentioning using a Snap On scanner previously.

Have no idea that's why I;m asking , my friends garage has one its the latest and greatest from snap on though .I was hoping someone had experience with one and could tell me if it did or didn't work.

I can't answer the question but based on your first post discussing the purchase of the LX and your location...you may be better of pulling the AHC system and do a OME lift... I believe you said the the undercarriage was pretty rusted so you might fix one part and you can surely look forward to other parts of the AHC system failing. Or take it to any local Lexus dealer and for approx $120.00 you'll have your answer

Not that rusted , just surface rust no rot. As for now this will be wifes DD so If I can fix inexpensively I'd like to try. Plus I like the idea of the factory ride for now. Do not want to pay a dealer for anything and probably wouldn't unless It was an emergency no other option situation. I am going to try the solus and if it doesn't work I will look into the other methods .

It might read it. High end scanners/computers that can navigate CANbus usually can go pretty deep. I used a friends Autel MaxiDas something or other and it was able to read and reset a couple of old stored AHC fault codes along with running system diagnostic test to check the pump, actuators and accumilator. I'm pretty sure it was able to read pressures but at the time I had no clue what I was looking at so I disregarded and forgot about it.

Give it a shot.
