ABS functions do not function, and warranty repair takes weeks,
Purchased OTC-3111 tester primarily for ABS on my 1999 Chevy after thorough review of other scanners’ options.
After connecting the unit, it was not performing – was not retrieving ABS codes which corresponded to actual problems, and simulated problems.
Although the unit was consistent in retrieving ABS code problem, clearing-erasing the trouble code, however the codes were incorrectly designating different troubles.
Prior to purchasing of it, one of online another tool sales company salesman informed me, that despite of OTC – manufacturer tech support representation, no matter what they say, OTC-3111 was not going to do ABS, just engine only.
Following that info, I’ve asked via email and received from OTC tech support assurance that OTC-3111 IS SUPPORTING my Chevy.
Now can say that salesman was correct, and that he must have gotten info directly from OTC right people there -
better than mine.
Contacted OTC for warranty repair, obtained RMA with shipping label and send the unit back.
It has been already 3 weeks, and they still did not enter the unit onto their system.
It is going to take at least another week or much longer, if – if I ever get what supposed simple purchase of functioning ABS trouble code code reader with resetting of the code.
They were assuring me of short turn-around time – 7 days, shipping new ones in 24 to 48 hours, but that has turned out all as OTC misstatements.
Problem is, that they (OTC) do sell much more expensive units for ABS, starting at about $800.00, to &7500.00,
but they have simply little or no interest to sell functioning ABS unit, and actually their interest is not to sell ABS troubleshooting tool for $250.00 to broad consumer base like do-it-yourself-er.
Instead they want you to purchase one of those pricey one, on which they make much much better deal then on those for DIY.
That is the fact gleaning from how the system of sale, advertising, and actual resolving the matter of bringing
the unit sales to what is being advertised. OTC is quite deceptive and illusive.
By the way, OTC and ACTRON are subsidiaries of the same company: SPX.
And they are going on and on without much other solutions for the consumer with these sort of business practices.
I would NOT RECOMMEND purchasing low prized OTC units at all as this OTC-3111, until their business practices get changed.

|Product OK, Company Deceitful….,
Product is easy to use but their tech support is bunch of “dorks”. First I purchased an Actron CP-9580 that claimed to cover ABS on 1996 and newer US made cars, when I called tech support they said ” Oh, that model does not support all, only some, vehicles”. OK, so what do they recommend will support my vehicles? They say the OTC-3111 will cover my specified vehicles, and they say that’s the only difference between the CP-9580 and the OTC-3111. So I ordered the OTC-3111, and sure enough it did not work with my 1998 chrysler vehicles.
So maybe I need to update the tool to a new version, installed the Scan Suite 3.1 but it would not recognize the Scan tool so I can’t see if it is up to date or not. I called tech support again. The response, ” You don’t need to update because there is no update”. Ok but I need this connectivity issue fixed so that when the update comes I will be ready. He says ” The update is going to a looooooong time to come so don’t worry about that now.” Huh?????
The Scan Suite is flaky at best, causes windows errors in so many points. The tool may suit you if you don’t care about pc connectivity or if your car/truck is not one of the supported vehicles. BTW, their website says my vehicles are supported, though in truth NOT.
They need to be more forthcoming to be respected.

|A Snap to Set Up and Use,
This is a well-crafted instrument. The screen is large and very legible, and the keys have a nice tactile sense to them. It comes in a nice case. To set up, I unscrewed the lid to the battery case, inserted the four supplied batteries, screwed the lid back on, plugged the attached cable into the OBD II port (under the left side of the dashboard) of my vehicle, and turned the ignition to On (not start). The screen lit up immediately and I proceeded to select my vehicle and then run the diagnostics. It’s amazingly simple to use–just use the arrow keys and the enter key or back key. No codes currently, so this review is provisional–but I fully expect this device to tell me exactly what the code means, when one comes up, and then explain the most probable actions to take to fix the problem. I spent hours online researching different OBD II scan tools, and this one seemed to provide the most bang for the buck. That it contains ABS codes, as well as powertrain codes, is a big plus.
