So I am driving home today in amy's car and the ******* check engine light comes on. So i throw my code scanner on and it says error, i run by a parts store and borrow their scanner, it says error. SSOOOOO, is there something about the 05 fords that wont scan? my 04 b4000 scans fine. I'm thinking maybe the odb computer took a **** storm? Its still under warranty (barely) but I am curious at this point as I was under the impression that odb II was a standardized language, that was the whole damn point.

oh they upgeaded to a CAN/BUS when you werent looking....

phinsup

yup i thought that wasnt until 2008. Mother *******.

phinsup

meh, gonna buy one of the internet updatable scanner i guess

j9fd3s

theres a couple really cheap scanners that work...

phinsup

I'd really like to get one that reads out the error description rather then just a code. Right now, i get the code then I have to look it up in the ****** book. The new actron which is internet updatable prints out the **** on the screen and will connect to my laptop and what not for $200

phinsup

Well i went picked up a new actron 9180, ****** is pretty sweet. I got a "small evap emissions leak" prolly the ******* gas cap, but we shall see. seal on it looks pretty abused so I'll go and get another one tomorrow.



I got the code scanner hooked up to my laptop right no LOL

teknics

they update gas cap designs practically monthly, get one from the dealer.
