no i don't have one, he'd have to bring it to the mechanic, he has one. i didn't know that, thanks for the help

If you're in the US and not in CA, go to any Autozone or Aamco. They'll plug in a reader for free.

Get the actual codes, not their suggested diagnosis, then bring them back and post them.

Good luck.

I called Autozone, and was told they would hook up and check it. I stoped at an O'Rilley's, and they would test check, as well. He told me I could do it, if I wanted to. I just had to leave some ID to take it out and use it at the store there. You have to know where your test plug is at. The one I was going to test was under dash by right leg pointing downward. Then just plug in to it with the ignition switch turned on. You just follow the prompts on the OBDII scanner, and within a 10 or 15 second time. It will display the code and discription on the screen. I just wanted to do it for the sake of doing it! For a freebie it's worth the effort.
