If the car is a '94 or earlier, the LED+SW combo should be there. It isn't a 'scanner' but it will read the Diag Module and give you an idea of what may be wrong.
If you are fortunate enough to have a scanner, then it is absolutely a great diagnostic tool.
One of the BEST ever made is the AST Retreiver which, unfortunately, is no longer being made. AST went to a PC based system. To me, that was a step backwards since you need to "drag" a laptop to the car in order to read codes. Seems like an overkill.
The "Retreiver" is self-contained system that is easy to use and gives "mercedes" type DTC explanations. Also could do LIVE data.
