I have only done it once or twice but IIRC you can only do it if your CEL is illuminated. False. You can do it anytime. I do it quite frequently, you can only do it if the check engine light will illuminate ie: it's not burnt out. Quote Selected

Or you can just buy the one Oreilly's has for 30 bucks, it's digital, so no counting blinks, and it's proved to be reliable and acurate. Every fox lover should have one. lolBy chance...would you happen to have a part number for that scanner ? Quote Selected
