You test and pull the codes with a multimeter. You can find the how-to and the codes Stealth 316 Home

 

+1 with multimeter. A test light also works surprisingly well once you distinguish 10s and 1's.

 

multimeter is going to be the least expensive, assuming you have access to a multimeter.

datalogger will allow you to read codes and much more however.

 

This import code reader accesses a vehicle's on-board computer to retrieve engine and electronic transmission codes and ABS vehicle computer codes. Diagnostic trouble codes flash on the dashboard's "check engine" light. It connects to your vehicle's computer self-test connector and allows it to output the service codes through the vehicle's instrument panel indicator lights. It includes detailed instructions in English, French, and Spanish with illustrations and code definitions applications.

 

well, I just got back from AAMCO to get it pulled. they state, "there's no communication"

can't pull the code

 

through the vehicle's instrument panel indicator lights

Say "What" one more time.

 

yes, again I know its through the instruments panel. so do they. I hooked everything up. they knows it not the same as just plugging in the obd2. they had to actually pull it into the shop.

no communication. couldnt tell me anything else

 

thanks again for all your help. I had another post going with somewhat of the same info. I was refered to stealth316 method. I'll get a voltmenter and follow the instructions.

thanks

 

Its a paperclip, a friggen paperclip, in a handle for $20.

no batteries, no screen, no blinking lights. for $20 they could at least put in a blinking light. jeez, go ahead and say "what", say "what" one more time.

I bet it doesn't even hold paper...

 

I am looking to purchase and ODB1 mitsubishi scanner if anyone has one for sale. It need to be able to perform all resets and interpret all the codes. ANyone know of anything other than the dealer tool that can do this? It must be for 1991-1993 vr4's obd1 interface

 

Just get a Data Logger like the Hand Held Halo from 3SX.com or similar. Not only will you be able to read and reset the codes, but you will see what is going on to throw those codes. It will make a great diagnostic tool as well.

Even though it is simple to read a CEL code with a analog multi meter the information you would get from a data logger is going to be much more helpful.
