Looking for a relatively inexpensive scan tool that can read transmission temp
Scan tool suggestions

I needed to read transmission temperature to do a drain and fill on my 2014 Rav4 so I bought this from Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hyper-To...icles-Free-Fix-Part-Recommendations/409856222 I don't know how it compares to others, but for $50 it worked for my needs.
To save money, you can buy a used scan tool. The Innova 5510/5512 and 5610 are good choices. They are expensive new, but cost less used. Innova's site is very good at showing you what each scan tool does on each car.
OBD2 Bluetooth ELM327 ($15.00 or less) and Torque Pro ($5.00) for Android Download Google Play or if you already have a scanner, https://www.amazon.com/LIJUST-Tempe...42351ac128c53ba195b5de523d80d6b6&gad_source=1
A laptop + Forscan + Ford OBDII to USB adapter for Fords.
A laptop + TechStream + Toyota OBDII to USB adapter for Toyotas.
The rest, a handheld OBDII adapter that does graphing, and live data, and ABS Codes.

Either what others suggested or something like this will do to measure temp (bottom of transmission fluid pan):
I'd rather get a decent scan tool like Xtool D7 or so, mine paid for itself within first 6 months of use.
