cheapest way to see oil pressure via obd2 scan tool I'd like to check what the computer thinks oil pressure is. What's the cheapest way I can do that?
Do I have to spend $200+ on a scan tool that shows live data?
Or are there cheaper scan tools at local parts stores?
this is on a gmc sierra, 2006.

You need the tool to have the ability display live certain engine parameters.
Check out some of the cheaper scan tools and see if they do more than just scan for codes. From what I was able to see, the ones <$100 only scan codes and don't read OBDII engine parameters which is what you want. But I may be wrong, so go check some out yourself.
