If you have codes DO NOT CLEAR THEM

You will loose ALL DATA needed to find & resolve
any problems

You do not reset anything-you CLEAR DATA,Emission
Monitors,& Freeze Frame Data, that can tell you what happened
when a code or fault was set

If you clear codes, they will come back,as soon as the motor
is restarted ,or when those emission monitors run next time & do
so for a number of key cycles or until the problems are fixed

Forget Relays ever existed. They are like a plague that has spread
thought the internet

Please Google relays & learn what they are,They seldom fail &
NO Parts get replaced EVER Until a vehicles system has been
tested & a part fails a test

You DO NOT hang parts or throw parts at any vehicle

Only people with NO Vehicle knowledge do that, most folks
do that ,even some professionals at repair shops ,to the tune
of 3 Billion Dollars a year world wide in perfectly good parts

Explain in detail all of your vehicle problems

Explain what codes reader you have & what your doing

You plug it in under the dash & turn the ignition to the on
position & write down the codes, then push the up or down arrows
to see the next one

Read the codes reader manual

After that you start the vehicle & drive about 10 miles to see what happens--- with the code read still plugged in

If you could care less about fixing it ,clear the codes & see if the
same ones come back.

Once done ---you start all over at a repair shop & use professional
tools to do it correctly & find a problem

SOURCE: O2 sensor problem

I have a 97 gmc sierra .This truck is the same as the chevy ok.Its a 350 5.7 liter 4x4 Z71.I took it to auto zone which was my first mistake.They put it the scanner and said bad O2 sensor.Ok so which one is it i said.They dont know.Well there four (4) O2 sensors in this truck i hope you know that.I had to replace all four of them before i had to take it to a real shop.It seems the fuel pump i replaced a week earlier with an auto zone fuel pump was bad.Ive changed my feul pump 4 times now and have 235000 miles on still running.You need to get your fuel pressure checked.It should be 65 psi to start it and 55 psi to run it.If the pressures are good it could be a different O2 sensor or maybe the mass air flow senor.My last option would be the fuel pressure regulator because it seems to be a waste of time and money.I would get that fuel pressue checked first.Good luck.

SOURCE: i tried to hook a obd2 code reader on and it wont

First things first. If the reader won't power up check the fuse for cigar lighter. Should be a 10 amp/yellow fuse.

SOURCE: P0303 Error code on reader. Changed all spark

Most likely it is a faulty O2 Sensor that needs to be replaced. It would be best if you took the vehicle to one of the Auto Parts stores that will read the codes for free so you can pick up the part and any special tools needed to replace it. The O2 Sensor requires a special socket to replace it.

On a 2005 Dodge with Cimmins 5.9 how do you remove a fault code without a OBD2 code reader

Just go to auto zone and they will hook up a reader and clear the code for free. But if you dont fix the problem the light will keep coming on. Pep Boys also will check them for free.

Poor engine power on takeoff

Your car is a 93 so its OBD1, 96 and newer are OBD2 so you can call your local autozone and see if they can read obd1 because most of them just read obd2 . If they do then they can hook a code reader to your car and retrieve all the codes for free! it beats any shops price for diagnostics.Thats a good place to start hope this helps and god bless.

Obd 2 connector does not work with any code scanner

HI there....Check to see if the code reader is a CAN OBD 2 code reader. If it is only OBD2 , that may be the problem. In 2003 Some vehicle manufacturers ( ford,Gm,Mazda and Saab) began using a new computer protocol called Controller Area Network (CAN) with the OBD2 and if your vehicle is CAN OBD 2 the simple OBD2 code reader will not work.Contact your local dealer to determine if you vehicle is CAN or not or find a code reader that is CAN OBD2 capable. Hope this helps you out
