Cheap " SES light fix" for the already tuned guy !!
I don't know if some of you guys are like me are or not ,but i hate to see a " SES" on my dash all lit-up like a christmas tree. my car is already tuned with HP Tuners and it's tuned perfect for my set-up. the only thing i get ( like most stalled A4's ) is the stuck soleniod code every once in awhile and every once in awhile the left bank 1 & bank 2 codes.
well i do have a predator for all my diagnostic needs , but there is a problem......it finally went blank on me after 7 yrs. I was going to send it in ,but i came across the actron scan tools at my local Pep-Boys.
I figure since my car is already tuned , all I really want is to be able to read the code and turn off my SES lights when i get them.
Well, I got an el'cheapo' Actorn CP9125 OBII for $52.00 and it does read and clear codes and turn off the SES lights. I may step up to the CP 9175 one day ,but for now .....i'm happy. Just thought I share this option with you guys .

If I have the code turned off , the problem would still be there. So I think I'll live with it and like it .
