    Hello everyone, i need a good code reader for my 2009 vnm. Can anyone help me find a good one. Not a professional like JPro or Volvo software. Sometimes more simple to read codes, that's it.

    Thank you !!!

    I used this, but also you can retrieve codes down the dash. Better option is OTR diagnostic tool since it can do forced regen and bypass limp mode I believe

    I use Diesel Decoder on my 2017 Cascadia.
    It's a scan code reader. Diesel Laptops sells it.
    Another is OTR brand.
