Is it possible to get the SES codes without a scanner or OBD reader or tuner? Reason i ask is i have no way of getting my codes read for free or cheap here in the UK. If i could i would just go to Autozone to get it read, but im not in the states... Locals want $120 just to pull the codes

I have before pulled codes on other cars manually using a jumper on the OBD port and just counted the flashes the SES/CEL flashed and refered to the manufactures code book.

Its a 96 obdII non california car, and i can delete the code by removing battery power. When the car is turned on after that the car runs great and strong for a bit, but after about 15-20 miles the SES light triggers and i start to get a really bad stumble when crusing in 6th and trying to gain speed, or any time a heavy load is on the motor. when going WOT at about 3K+ the car pulls relatively normal... o2's is just a guess but i really dont get worse gas mileage, but i want to know for sure whats triggering the fault... Anyone?

not on OBD2. the jumper works on OBD1 only. pick up your own scanner so you can pop it off. i paid like $80 for mine here in the states and they have cheaper ones.

you have deleted several things that will throw codes in you sig. have they been tuned out?

nevermind i see that that is on your 1995

 

No, this is in my Bonestock '96 Z28...

Do you have any references for the $80 scanner (Ebay, ls1tech vendors, etc.)? I will buy one right now lol.

thanks!

My scanner cost $10 and it is a data-logger/tuner too. just buy a OBD2 to USB adapter on ebay and download one of the many free programs (or even buy one of the top end ones)

 

Autozone scans and clears em for free. just heads up

that is nice, but i carry my reader with me just in case something pops up and if it does i can tell when/what i just did. although if you always had your laptop with you it would be nice.
