Hello Jack Smith

'95 was right about when the obd (on board diagnostic) ports were being "STANDARDIZED"...

If you check on Amazon (I will put opportunity URLs at the bottom for you... You will find a large selection of devices available...
Also from auto-parts stores, eBay... (etc.).

Even Harborfreight.com has them (quite cheap)... but the key is the code books...

These are available by car model & make.

Interesting... You can get a wealth of information (with some MIS- information)... merely by doing code searches on the internet.

Code readers are quickly getting better and THE BLUETOOTH versions seem to be getting more attention lately...
I waiting for a decent I-phone app to work with it.

As for myself... I have the basic autel version from AMAZON...
simply because of AMAZON'S amazing return policy.

Hope this helps!

My golf 1 1989 1800 is sluggish uphill

The first thing to do is monitor the fuel pressure and then run a fault code test on the electronic engine control system, both take special tools and you will need the dealer or a VW equipped shop.

Hi i have a pontiac grand am GT 2002 i have a code 1040 what dose that mean Please

Unfortunately, code "1040" is a generic fault code and may need further diagnostic testing to decipher. In some cases, special diagnostic equipment may be required. If the code begins with a letter "P", for example, this indicates a powertrain problem.

Had this been code "P1041", for example, this would mean that injector circuit #1 is malfunctioning. P1042 is injector circuit #2, and so forth.


Have a great day !!!

I have a 2006 Ford Explorer. The wrench light (powertrain) comes on periodically, and the truck will no go beyond 40 miles for 3-4 minutes. What is the porblem

when it's on go to autozone & have them read codes.

The wrench light reports issues that the normal check engine light doesn't and you may need the dealer to read those codes with thei special equipment.
