Hi, I am a newbie here. I have been a backyard mechanic, not a professional, for 60 plus years. Yes, that makes me a very old coot who did wrench type repairs many years before scanners were even envisioned. My current problem is with the cruise control system on my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins diesel. I would like to look at the inputs to the powertrain control module from the cruise control switches because Dodge used the powertrain control module for the cruise control electronics. I believe an OTC Genysis could see the cruise control switch inputs to the pcm but mine is a very dead Genysis EVO. What other scanners can monitor those cruise control inputs?
As a final question, does anyone repair the Genysis Evo scanner now?
I can't comment on the possibility of repairs on your Genisys Evo. OTC would be the people to contact about that, but they may not even support that scanner at this point.
As for reading the cruise control data on you Ram, I've always found Snap-On coverage of CDJR products to be excellent. Launch and Autel will cover that same YMME, but never seems to work quite as well. Can't speak for TopDon.
My feet are planted in the Snap-On scan tool camp. It's what I learned on and what I know.
With the introduction of Zeus +, the "Plus" line seems poised to replace the "Edge" line, so finding an affordable used Verus Edge should be getting easier by the day.
