Maybe a little OT for tractors, but sure others here would like to learn too. Decided I need to keep up with the world and get a code reader. Know nothing about them. Is the OBDII just later cars? I would want to be able to use on earlier ones too. Would that be with the OBDI included? Looks like they come higher. Any brands that has been OK for you? I use E-bay all the time. The one reset on my Dakota would have paid for a cheap one.

If its a Chrysler/Dodge product, then turn the key to the "on" position 3 times and leave it in the "on" position on the 3rd time. ("on" is not "start")
The "check engine" light will then flash any stored codes. ie - flash-flash-flash-flash-flash, short pause, flash 5 times again, is code 55, which is "end of codes" which means no stored codes. flash-flash, pause, flash (code 21) is O2 sensor voltage staying too high- probably bad sensor. Do a google search to find the rest of the codes. in this example, you would see 21 long pause 55.

I picked up the auto-x-ray 6000 almost a year ago when it was on sale at Napa, sure have used it a lot, has the connectors for all the stuff in the case, and got a free battery tester cable with it, think it was close to $600.00 but has come close to paying for itself so far, have lots of cars and trucks in the family, I got to the point where I will scan the cars and trucks when I have time and save the info on the computer so when something comes up later I have several scans I can print out and look at if there isin't a code there to see, has pointed me in the right direction more than once without a code..

Thanks fellows. Guess I kinda sounded like the guy that buys a farm and wants to know what tractor to buy. With your help and a lot of research, I am learning. That scan-gauge is kinda neat. I have a great small size laptop.

OBD II is all 1996 and later. Most of the OBD II scanners can read OBD I with the optional adapter cable. Most OBD I codes can be retrieved without a scanner or reader.
Note that some scanners only read the generic OBD II codes while other will also read the manufacturers specific codes also.
I use an Equius Super Scanner

I like the Scan-Gauge. It not only reads code but gives you readings of engine fuctions readings while driving.
Do a Google search.
