    Nissan scan tool shootout using Verus

    Hi guys

    I did a scan tool shootout on a Nissan Quest using 10 different scan tools including the Snap On Verus.The Verus was pretty impressive going up against some of the other big named scan tools. Check it out. Its completely free.

      Hi Sparkey,

      Why would you look into the Pegisys after watching this video?

        Maybe because most of the testers rated it the highest..on THAT vehicle tested.

          A better test in my opinion would be to test about 10 differant vehicles, get a wider range of test subjects and leave the factory tools out of it. after all your wanting to see what aftermaket tool would work best overall.

            If you look at the Pegysis data stream though, most of them said "NO DATA" or "NOT SUPPORTED" so if they were recording those as the amount of PIDS then it is not an accurate measurement

              Testing 10 different vehicles in a 45 min span isnt going to happen. This was a scan tool shootout. Testing alot of scan tools and comparing it to the factory tool is what its about. Leaving the factory tool in it is a way to compare the aftermarket tools to the factory tool....which is most cases is king.

                  The "no data" is temporary after you scroll down. The data comes live in a few seconds on screen.
                  As for the "not supported", at least the pid is there.....SnapOn doesn't even acknowledge there is such a pid.
                  Their recording and playback system is different than SnapOn too.

                    If you fast forward to about 10:50 in the video, one guy says "Hey Snapon, GET RID OF THOSE KEYS!" After watching I started wondering if S.O. really is the ONLY one still using a key type system still? This would make a good reason for getting the S3 wireless module. As far as programming, I would assume that they are referring to a tool's ability to flash on its own, without additional hardware, such as PTPII.

                      I don't understand your comment on the "PID Not Supported" if the PID isn't supported why would you want to have it show up?

                        They only tested PCM PIDS and controls, no screen shots, this is not a conclusive test, after seeing this I have many more questions than I got answers, they could have done better

                          Maybe because the scan tool is CAPABLE of displaying the pid and it's not in the data stream supported by that particular vehicle but could be on others?
                          Better a null line for one pid, than a pid that is completely removed.

                            Shoot out

                            Hi Edwin,

                            I see you and Adam are movie star's

                            This was a good test but one thing I would like to see on the next scan tool shoot out, if you could take 3 cars at different years example,1997,2003,2009

                            I am sure your results would be different.

                              Didn't you see my BIG SMILE AT THE END? I was just kidding... I wouldn't really consider it because it wasn't, (in my opinion) a FAIR test for diagnostic equipment - you can NOT run a test on only (1) vehicle... I would have to see them all in action on ALL other vehicles, domestic, asian, european before I could make up my mine. How much trouble would we, as mechanics, be in if we only performed (1) test on vehicle's problem...
