Default Code Reset

What is the least expensive way for me to reset the trouble codes on my 850? I am trying to track down the cause of a problem in the evap system and would like to be able to reset the check engine light without having to bother a friend to come over and reset it for me with his $$$$$$$$$$$ Snap On reader. I understand that resetting the service light cannot be done with the same tool that is used to reset the fault ligfht. Is this so? Is a reasonably priced tool that will do both available?

Thankls

Ray

???? What is a 55 wagon in 1990. It would have to be a 240 or 740 in the US. Not sure about out of the us though.

So, first, we still need the year of your 850. Kind of necessary to start the trouble shooting.

Now, here is a shot in the dark.

Again, this is just a starting point. You may need more assistance though.
