Honda HIM vs other Honda scanners

Hello I need a scanner that will read and clear all the codes including the body codes. Currently my car is throwing 14 codes but I have had it ran by many generic scanners and they only show one code. The Honda scanner that the dealers have show all 14. I noticed there are 3 different types of scanners honda makes. Will the Honda HIM type scanner show all the codes that the most expensive option which the dealers use.

Also so how do you download the software. I have a Honda service express account but need further instruction. Thank you.

Re: Honda HIM vs other Honda scanners

Yes all three type of Honda scanners are advertised to read Honda codes but I need to know if the cheapest type, the Honda HIM, will read all of the same Honda codes that the scanner which all the Honda dealers and shops use. The scanner that the dealers have show my car having 14 codes. I need to know if the HIM will show all 14 codes. The non Honda generic scanners which non Honda mechanics use only shows one code. I have had multiple generic scanners pull the codes and they always show one code.

The second part part of my question is: how do you install and use the software for the Honda HIM on the computer. Is it through the service express on Honda tech info? Please elaborate on this process. Need to know every step
