Scan tools are more expensive but can do everything a code reader can do, as well as provide troubleshooting tips, data readouts, and diagnostic equipment.

Of particular concern is the amplifier’s power wire, which could short out somewhere down the line. If you aren’t careful when running a power wire for your new amp, it shorts out and it isn’t fused, and you could be looking at significant damage....
