How to check for error codes?
Hi all,

Is there a way of checking for error codes yourself without any plug-in aids?

There is no way to do it without a reader. AutoZone

Shop No 2
Lenchen Centre
Cnr Lenchen & Old Pretoria Road
Centurion

http://www.autozone.co.za/store-locator.html

In the U.S. they will read the code for you @ no charge.

Can use evoscan if you have the cable and laptop.... desktop with a really long usb extension.

Can purchase a code reader off the interwebs too

There is no way these idiots will be able to do that.

My tuner will do it with evoscan.

It's not rocket surgery, you just plug in the reader press a few buttons and you're done, even South Africans can do it. ;-)
