OBD2 tool being used?

[Joe Dirt]

Hello all,
Just wondering what some of you are using for your OBD2 tool.?
Speaking specifically for brake pad replacements, engine light resets and engine code analysis.

Not looking for an elaborate/hundreds of dollars for a tool, just something that is practical and usable for me the average mechanic.
Any thoughts or comparisons are appreciated.

I have this one:

I have not used it on my 4Runner yet,, but have with other vehicles (older Toyota Sienna and more recent RAV4). Android only, no iOS. I believe this one is compatible with Carista. I do not know what you mean by brake pad replacements, but it can definitely read and reset codes. The app comes with a basic code lookup feature; more can be added.

Thanks for the info, I have not replaced the rear pads on any new modern vehicles yet with the automatic brake. I believe that an ODB tool is needed to recoil the brake calipers. Or perhaps there's another way to disengage and release the automatic brake. I guess I'll cross that when I get to it.

In mine, at least, I assume all, there is a button on the console by the shifter to take the parking brake off (it has a "P" on it. You just push (or pull?) it and it either disables the automatic brake or at least releases it at that point. My wife's RAV4 has the same function.
