Today only. Newegg with SpeedShop has the Autel MaxiScan MS300 OBD-II Code Reader for $19 with free shipping. Compatible with 1996 and later OBD II-compliant vehicles, reads and displays Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Now you'll know whether you need a new engine or you're just low on wiper fluid. Amazon has it for $20 with free shipping on $25+.

    i have owned this code reader for about 2 years now. in addition to reading trouble codes, it can read the VIN# and reset the trouble light.

    note that if you do reset the trouble light right before getting an inspection your car will still fail due do low run time/mileage on the computer from the reset.

    also the trouble code shown by any code reader might not indicate the exact problem, but a general problem area. an example would be a trouble code for emissions, which can be anything from a missing/loose/failing gas cap (first thing you should check) to fuel pump pressure sensor, etc.

    Truth on the reset, but if you reset it and SALE it before the next inspection is due, you're in like Flinn. Wink
