Polarbear 05-24-2004, 04:16 PM I see all these folk typing in saying i was driving down the rd and X threw a code....How do you guys know what codes it is throwing?? Does in come up in the little info dealie?? Im curious about this as my tranny did something odd the other (see is this possible in tranny forum) and im curious if it "threw" a code...Thanks-Adam GMCSID 05-24-2004, 07:39 PM A lot of the power adders also have the capability of reading codes. The only other way to get the codes would be a GM Tech 2 or another scanner device. RUMAXED 05-24-2004, 07:41 PM come down to the ct dyno day june 12th and we can check it with the tech 2 Polarbear 05-24-2004, 10:10 PM How long do i have to "check" codes. Like when i shut off the key is that it, all is lost or what?? How will i know if they are recent codes or not? Something a dealer could do in 5 mins, or would i be better off suckin up to Autozone to test it. Id prefer to go to Carquest if they do it, good guys at the one in my area.... Thanks for the info-Adam GMCSID 05-24-2004, 10:51 PM Most codes will clear themselves from history after about 40 drive cycles (engine started cold, warmed to operating temp, turned off) without a reoccurance of the porblem that set the code. I don't know about other scanners but a Tech 2 will store failure info. It will store a freeze frame of certain parameters at the time the code set including mileage. It depends on the dealer, some will just run out and check for code for you, others will make up a repair order. Polarbear 05-30-2004, 10:03 PM well stopped in at my dealer midweek, and they were more than happy to come out and check...plugged in a tech 2 none the less, i was in awe, told them i always here guys talking bout them....and my pickup came up clean no codes anywheres, so i guess my problem was self induced....Thanks guys...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif | ||
