HI, I'm up to buy a OBD II scanner to use it personally, can anyone recommend a scanner that is compatible with Mohave\Borrego 2009 model? and if anyone can provide the manuafacturer specific codes for this car.
I think having such a device is good to identify some problems.

Thanks in advance...

I have a Scan Guage in my 2004 Tacoma... It reads and clears codes, plus accesses all sorts of information.

ScanGaugeII - Trip Computers + Digital Gauges + Scan Tool

I haven't tried it in the Borrego but will test it if you are interested. Here's a list of functions:

TRIP COMPUTER
Automatically tracks four sets of trip data - Each with 11 individually stored parameters.
* Maximum Speed
* Average Speed
* Maximum Coolant Temperature
* Maximum RPM
* Driving Time
* Driving Distance
* Fuel Used
* Trip Fuel Economy
* Distance to Empty
* Time to Empty
* Fuel to Empty

DIGITAL GAUGES
Display 4 gauges at a time from the 12 built-in digital gauges. the information is presented in Real-time!
* Fuel Economy
* Fuel Rate
* Battery Voltage
* Coolant Temperature
* Intake Air Temperature
* Engine Speed (RPM)
* Vehicle speed (MPH)
* Manifold Pressure (not available on some vehicles)
* Engine Load
* Throttle Position
* Ignition Timing
* Open/Closed Loop

SCAN TOOL
The ScanGaugeII allows you to troubleshoot your own car, read error codes, and the conditions present when the error occurred. You can also turn off the “Check Engine” light and avoid those costly trips to the mechanic.
* Reads Trouble Codes
* Reads conditions that set the Trouble Code
* Clears Trouble Codes
* Turns off the "Check Engine" light
* Tells you when vehicle is "Ready" to pass OBDII testing
* Make and store up to 10 rewritable special codes
to send to the vehicle computer
