That only works for pre-OBDII stuff.

Found one on Amazon for about $35. Guess it would be a good thing to have so I'll just order it

Works perfectly fine on my vehicles. All have OBD2

All of my stuff the code just comes right back.

I have one if you can wait a day, it's at home and I'm at work. I also have a bluetooth gizmo that will allow you to do the same thing with your phone, I think it was 7 bucks on Ebay...

If the fault is current it will still show up. Pulling a battery cable even on OBDII should clear the light assuming it isn?t a currently active fault.

Thanks. I found one im using today but I'll probably still order one for future use. Yea I fixed the issue so should clear permanently

I?ve got one of the cheap little readers. Used to use it quite a bit when the kids were living at home and driving crappy vehicles. Now it pretty much just sits in the toolbox.

I?ve been meaning to grab it and see why the check engine light comes on religiously under heavy acceleration in my company truck. Just keep forgetting because I pretty much don?t really care. It only stays on for a day or two and then goes off until the next time I have to pass somebody.
