What you guys think of this, worth it or waste of money?

That's about $80

Looks nice, for $80 bucks I would try it, but I already have a stand alone reader.

Reason I'm asking is I get the following codes when doing the key trick.

P0418 Secondary air injection (AIR) pump relay A – circuit malfunction Wiring, AIR pump relay, ECM

P0408 Exhaust gas recirculation (ERG) valve position sensor B – high input Wiring short to positive, EGR valve position sensor, ECM
- that sounds like a fault from the ORM

P 1256 - cant find a report for

P0120 Throttle position (TP) sensor A/accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor A – circuit malfunction Wiring,TP/APP sensor, ECM Throttle position (TP) switch A/accelerator pedal position (APP) switch A – circuit malfunction Wiring,TP/APP switch, ECM

P0299 Turbo/super charger – low boost Mechanical fault
So it says but everything runs fine? No obvious power loss.

P 1225 - no info!

Will investing in the scanner vibe help try clear these codes to see if they come back?

Do not waste your money, this is just a interface cable no FREE program can do what you ask for. Chrysler use a StarScan (For 2006 liberty) to get full access, clear every codes and do full diagnostic (TCU include) .All others do a "Partial" job so try to find a cheap handheld OBD2 unit or better a friend with one! :mrgreen:
