1995 Lexus ES 300 Repair Question
Hi how are all of you doing, i found out the egr code it was the 401 code so what would i have to do
ok today the engine light came back on the parts i exchanged on my egr valve were from da junkyard that may be the cause but i seriously believe they gave me a bogus code im gne get a scantool for my car on the 1st of the month and get the codes myself.
Alright let me know the exact code numbers when you ge them.
yesterday evening a friend of mine that owns a shop scanned my car with a snap on scantool n he said the computer wasnt communicating with the scantool. what do you think that was? also i wanted to know what scantool i could get to scan my car
I would think something was wrong with the guys scan tool since pep boys was able to read your codes.So do you have a 16 pin connector for your scan tool to hook up?
yea i think he tried to plug it in underneath the steering column doe
So is your connector for reading codes 16 pin?
i think so i dnt know im gne check i know its underneath the steering column and i got a data link connector under the hood.
Iam not real familar with aftermarket scan tools i mostly used the Tech2 and tech1 scan tool all the gm dealers used.I have the actron obd1 and obd2 scan tool with the domestic obd1 connectors and universal obd2 connector.It only does domestic obd1 cars iam not real impressed with it But it reads codes on the engine with some live data and reads transmission codes.
yea i think its gonna have to be obd 1 and 2 i think my system is obd1 just a matter of gettin the best tool i can get for my bucks without payin alot i was thinking about harbor frieght.com
