One note is that the scan tools you can buy only look at a single CAN network (most cars since 2004). You also need to know what your doing for the latter!! Reading codes is pretty straight forward and can enable you to figure out if you have any issues. Mine are Wifi, because it has a faster communication rate and my laptop doesn't have bluetooth! The PC/laptop version lets you do more, although you do need to pay a small fee for a license if you want to change ECU settings. FORScan software is available for PC, iPhone and Android and connects to the adapter via bluetooth or WiFi depending on the adapter type you buy. It's primary function is to read and display any fault codes that may be present. FORScan is the Ford/Lincoln specific software, which when used with a generic OBDII scan tool adapter that plugs into the diagnostic port in the car (by your right knee), will let you do a number of things to the ECU's in your car.
