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

["Farrar Russell Carroll Hudkins" <fhudkins@xxxxxxx>]

Do you have your owners manual or a Chilton's manual handy? One of the
two, I can't remember which, told me a procedure to go through to read
the codes from my Plymouth. But it wasn't untuitive ... it was
something like, turn the key, put in X gear, rev to 3500rpm, shift to
something else, turn key back, and then you had to read the number of
times a dash light flashed in a two-digit code separated by a pause of
one second. Or something.
 
But the good thing is, I didn't have to have a code reader. :)
 
I'd check the Chilton's manual just in case. It's cheaper than the
code reader anyhow.

      I have a '98 Mercury with the check engine light coming on.
      Does anyone have any recommendations for a device that can
      read what the codes are?  I also want something that works
      on GM's and other makes.  Last time I just took it to the
      dealer, and that cost way too much for what they did.
