Not sure if this has been done. Here’s a rough 3-step illustration.
Find a paper clip and form it accordingly to your diagnosis box.
Attach both ends to the test terminals with key off. Then when in place, securely, turn key clockwise without starting up your engine.
Write down codes. Fix Problem.
After you think you’ve got to the root of your problem. It’s time to reset the code(s). Clear the codes by pulling the fuse for 15-30 seconds. FYI, it might just reset after you pull the fuse and put it back in. We’re resetting the ECU. Don’t yank your battery’s negative. You have too many radio presets.
Drive in the city for 75+ miles or on the highway 150+. Then see if the code pops back up with the paperclip method. If not, you’re probably golden. Good job!
No reason to spend $250 on an OBD1 scanner.
