OBD-II Testers Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: "CHECK ENGINE" - 6 Flashes, Joe98, Tue, 15 Jul 2003 06:22:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Any car sold in the US from 1996 on is required to have a standard OBD-II test port and test facility. Many states (Illinois plans to by end of 2003) now do polution testing by plugging into this standard port and checking for faults. The 1995 and earlier models do not have this facility.
Many large auto parts stores will loan you the OBD-II tool in the hope of selling you the parts needed to correct a fault (i.e. Murray's in Chicago area). They are VERY easy and very quick to use, and you can reset the light in case it was an "anomally" typical of auto electric systems. If the CEL is really a fault, it will tell you exactly what it thinks is out of spec, i.e. the oxygen sensors, or at least point you in the right direction. They can be purchased for less than $160. I wish my 1994 had this!
