So far has worked fine on three GTS's, 2x89S4, 89GT,90GT.
Some issues with Ernies 91GT, however that could be the car or the unit.

My wrench recently acquired a new diag device - can't recall the name - but does EVERYTHING the Sys Tester 2 does - except reset newer door and alarm codes - it was around $4k!
None of this thread applies to me, tho.
no diag ports on my cars...

though we tried it at SITM with a special connector the gent had and it didn't power up... not sure if that was an issue with the spanner or connector (the hammer powered right up on the 88 and gave me the info I was looking for)

Hi Rixter,
If there was no display at all on the Spanner, then it sounds like a lead is off +12v unswitched, or a fuse out.
The Hammer works on just ignition switched +12v. The Spanner uses both +12v unswitched and +12v switched.
Plenty of guys with MY88 cars have used the Spanner without problems. :-)

I'm working with Alan's guide for the FWM wiring guide to break out the circuits of interest to me at this time. can you let me know if at some point and time you would be available to run some test. You can send me a PM or e-mail and we can exchange phone numbers.
