ok thanks, thats what i have it at.

Im having trouble looking at the codes. my check engine light is on, but when i click DTC, it says evo4 no codes (or something like that) and if i click clear DTC, an error comes up and says it can only clear pre 1997 mitsubishis , do you wish to clear, yes or no.

This doesnt seem like a complicated program. What am i doing wrong?

EvoScan doesnt clear codes, at least not yet that I'm aware of.

There is a program called scantech that will let you view your codes, freeze frame data, clear codes, with the tactrix cable. It's on aktivematrix and you have to register for downloads.

I can clear my codes with EvoScan (or at least it turns off my check engine light).

I can see them, but I don't think it reads the code right b/c the code shown is wrong.

It doesnt show the code ID for me and it gives the wrong code description.. you are better off using scantech, it's free and works with the tactrix cable

The newer version (2.3Beta2) can read and clear codes up to evo IX (and also has AYC/ABS code reading/actuation if your cable supports it)

Its nice, you can even see DTCs that have turned off but not been cleared yet

I thought 2.2 full could also do it
