Re: [DMCForum] [OT] need to read check engine codes

[Jim Strickland <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

all US cars post 1996 are OBD II compliant.  Although a standard by
definition, the different auto companies implemented it differently.  The
expensive code readers have different module that are applicable for
different ranges of cars.  

There are some cheaper ones, though;  I've been told that MAC tools has
one, others are available on the internet for as low as $40.  

I've also heard of a kit that connects to PDAs.
