Ok, I have very little knowledge when it comes to scanners. So please understand. I am going to learn everything I can about them. I want to buy one so the next time I buy a used car. I am going to use it. My questions is? IF someone resets the codes. When i Hook up the scanner, will it still show the code. or should i drive the car for 30 , 50 miles.
What is a good scanner. I see them going for $30 and some for hundreds of dollars. I plan on doing my own repairs with the help of “eric the car guy”. Only because I cant afford a good mechanic. And i hate crying about the bill. I am a professional interior guy. So i know how iti feel when someone does it to me. Im sure mechanics get the same ignorant responses from customers as interior specialist. thanks for any input.

[quote=”CrazedAssassin” post=176816]Lights throwing computer codes seems overboard….[/quote] Disabling a possible circuit failure to prevent further damage is not overkill. There is a method to the supposed madness. Turning the circuit off so it can be properly diagnosed is far cheaper than a new computer or rewiring an entire circuit. I’ve been down both roads.
