Default OBD scanner

Which OBD scanner tool do you guys use? Does it clear codes as well?

OBDLink MX+

Use it with their proprietary software (OBDLink) and with Torque Pro software (Android).

Take your pick…LOL
!!…if you’re going to buy one get one with bidirectional control and that can scan all modules not just ECM…code readers are useless IMHO !!

Default A Very Good Scanner For A C8

I bought a Launch X431 CRP919E bidirectional scan tool. It found every module in my 2022 C8, all the modules in the wife's Cadillac XT5 and all in my 2016 F150.
It found several C8 codes the dealer's scanner did not initially find.

Any idea if it can do the DCT flush procedure?

I doubt it. It seems to be able to control a lot of modules, but I couldn't find anything like what I think the flush sequence would look like.
But this scanner is way above any othe scanner I have owned.

Contact Launch (probably China). They were very responsive to my questions.

I use the Kiwi, a wireless Bluetooth device that plugs into the OBD II and connects to my iPhone where there is an app that displays a lot of information including CEL codes and I can reset. Use it on my other vehicles.
