Error code readers (ODBII)

[seth_man]

generic code scanners will read powertrain and network codes, P or U codes for our cars from the PCM but to read any body or chasis codes, B or C codes from any other modules you will need a scanner that has CAN compliant toyota enhanced software. without spending big $ you wont get that software easily.

also even if the light already turned off there will still be a history code stored for some time. but without the right software you will never be able to get those codes from any module besides the PCM

Thanks for the info seth_man. I guess I will just bring it to the dealer and shell the $75 to get the codes checked. Beats paying a lot for an upgraded ODBII reader.
