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....

 

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

 

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

 

theres a couple really cheap scanners that work...

 

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

 

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

 

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

yea the cheap *** ones at the part store dont last long either

 

at mazda we have the 12 click original design, 12 click updated design, 24 click even more updated design, and i think we just released another 24 click one.
