The auto part stores carry these to cater to DIYers in hopes that they, in turn, buy the auto parts at their store to make the fix on their own. I’ve had this done at NAPA and Advance Auto Parts.
AND YET IT MOVES AUTOZA FOR FREE
You can get that for free at most auto-parts stores. What your mechanic probably won’t tell you is that you really didn’t need to shell out $100 just for them to hook up an OBD-II scanner to check on the service engine light. Check Engine Light: The Mechanic’s Dirty Little Secret OBD-II codes, or PID’s can help diagnose powertrain, emission, and other vehicle issues when diagnostic readings are out of accepted ranges. When your on-board computer detects a problem, it outputs a code through the output, and the code can be read by an OBD-II code scanner, or reader. The connector to this diagnostic system is called OBD-II (on-board diagnostic, version 2) and it is standardized for every vehicle sold in the US, 1996 and newer. OBD-II: A Background on Auto Diagnostic CodesĮvery vehicle recently sold in the United States has an onboard diagnostic system that self-diagnoses a variety of vehicle issues through the vehicle’s diagnostic computer. They will then get a code and description that tells them what the issue is.
When you take your car in to get it checked out, the mechanic hooks up a little diagnostic computer to your vehicle’s computer. When the light comes on, a code is stored as the reason for triggering the light. The service engine light comes on in your vehicle because the computer has diagnosed that something isn’t quite right. There is an alternative to those annoying “take a peek at it” vehicle labor expenses.
