hello house ..is there need for me to use a professional scanner for my car?

It's a rav4 07 bought clean toks in 2011.Apart from routine service and break pad change no single issue has cropped up .

i have an autel handheld scanner that works fine and reads error codes in other cars but has never seen an error code in my own.

i think its kind of odd (positively) that a car with 5yrs use will not throw any code..not even the common o2 sensor issues that seem to be common in cartalk.

lately my engine noise is increased but no other issue, not even increased fuel consumption, and on scanning,i didnt pick any error code even though it links and reads my vin,service info.
etc
I'm very keen on maintenance and wouldn't want to mess up the car with any charlatan

do I need a better scanner?

bosses please assist..

Do you have any disco light(s) on your instrument cluster?

If you start your car and the engine management illuminates and turns off after a few seconds, the light is functional.
Enjoy your car and stop expecting any Christmas lights. Because when the lights turns up, pulse rate go increase!!!

gazzuzz has said something about manufacturer specific codes that generic scanners will not pick.
I don't think my scanner has ability to scan transmission and abs as well..

Thanks all the same,I have less worries

none at all..I also know that transmission related issues don't show up on the dash,so I just want to add to my knowledge by being sceptic

Is your ABS Light on or your transmission malfunctioning ?

not at all,chief. i guess I'm safe except for this increased engine noise that is making me uneasy

What grade of oil have you been using?

You actually need to be specific what u want to achieve on your car .dont see a scanner as read-all-issue tools even with the professional ones.Your scanner is just an ordinary code reader that will retrieve whatever is output from your engine computer powertrain system .
If you a re bother about the engine noise ,look for another approach to diagnose that issue .
engine noise is mainly due to a mechanical issue ,mainly poor lubrication most of the time .

I hope I havent bought a fake engine oil.
Its a Mobil 5W-30.
I'll redo the oil change and buy the oil myself this time.

Even friends can buy fakes without being aware.

thanks
