Title: Scan Tools - Readings and Use
Post by: Steve Wood on June 29 2009, 11:01:11 AM: I am working on a page detailing how to use a scan tool....as usual, this is not short. I like words even if I don't like Zap and Sylvan.

If you want to know what numbers you should see and nothing else, this ain't for you :)

I would appreciate any comments regarding errors, or something that should be said.

I believe that once my car actually runs this will likely be printed and kept in the console.

It would be a decent adjunct to Strawwoods stuff.
