O B D scanner,which one?

[wajajaja]

the engine check lite is on, and chryler wants 86 bucks to read it. i got a 94 jeep gk,98 jeep gk, 2k dodge dakoda and a 2k vw diesle. <br /> i know that several shops will read them for free, but thouht that haveing one for general mtce wouldnt be bad if i can find one for the last three vehicals. the 94 will allow you to manipulate the code out without a reader.

I'm not familiar with your vehicle so I'm just speaking generally - most computer/CELs' that I have come across have a built in feature that allows you to read codes by 'flashes' of the CEL, don't need a scanner. Try a google search - ya never know.....<br /><br />EDIT: My bad, just checked my manuals and from 98 onwards - scanner only.<br /><br />Aldo

I would stay away from any of the cheaper scanners that you would find at automotive stores they are real crappy and not worth the money a good used scanner is about $500.

some of the chryslers would let you pull the codes by cycling the key on and off 3 times quick. try it it might work. also i haven't used this but thinking about getting one for home<br /> <br /> http://www.autoxray.com/products.aspx?sub=scanners&id=28
