Check Engine light
Hi Folks,
Another happy 850 owner -
My check engine light is now on, actualy has been for a while along withthe other on and off lights for ABS, TRACs, etc...
Anyway, took the car (96 turbo wagon) to Autozone for them to read the codes, and they said they could not - does it take a special reader? Where can I get one?
Need to get the caar inspected this month and they won't do it with the light on. Can I clear the light by disconnecting the battery?
Thanks,
mike

RE: Check Engine light
I took the car to a different AZ, and sure enough they read the codes. Bad O2 Sensor, bank 1 #1. Two questions,:
Is this difficult to relplace?
How do I get the codes cleared, I read a posting that indicated the possibility of conditions that will cause the O2 sensor to appear bad, but actullay be ok? Would like to trhy this before i invest the time an $ in the sensor.
Many thanks,
Mike

RE: Check Engine light
I'm curious as to the specs of the OBD-II reader.
Actron's CP9175 is an excellent scanner, which was used at an AZ in Chicago when I worked there. But the quality comes at a price (approx $160) and it was made in the USA. The downside was that it was only able to access engine & tranny ECUs.
When it comes to electronic control system diagnostic equipment, I have 100% trust on Axelm of Argentina.
