Engine code reader?

auto zone sells them and so does harbor freight.

 

I just have a standard OBD-II reader from Pep Boys and it works perfect. Although I haven't had any codes to clear yet, it did tell me which sensors were/weren't set for emissions testing.

Hard to go wrong for $49 or whatever it cost.

 

Thanks Teknikil !

 

I use my iPhone with a GoLink cable

now that looks purdy slick, gonna get one myself..

 

Any idea if this will work with an F430 and if so, where would you plug it in?!

 

I can't say it does (as I've never tried on a 430) but it certainly should. You plug it in to the OBDII port that all cars have these days.

 

In addition to the ODBII reader, do I need to buy this cable as well to read the F codes? Please advise

teknikl,

The Tinyurl won't open for me.

Any chance you could sling the original codes URL at me in a PM?

Thanks in advance.
