The local Autozone parts house offered free OBD 2 code reading until the State of California file a lawsuit to stop it.
It was a great service that got people in the door and often left buying repair parts.
The issue was parts stores are not licensed as repair facilities and that was that... the work around was to rent a reader for a nominal fee which is also no longer possible.
Prices for code readers are all over the place from $50 to $800 doing a quick search.
I've got one for a BMW and learned from the manufacturer it is strictly BMW specific.
Any recomendations for a low cost get the job done reader.
Current issue is check engine light on a 1996 F150 4wd 4.9 6 cylinder with 5 spd... truck runs great by the way.
