My check engine light has been coming on and going off intermittently for the past few months. The local auto parts shop has them for loan but says they probably won't search for saved codes if the light isn't on. Any recommendations on a brand of tool to get that will read history as part of the scan? The car emissions are still under warranty and I'd like to find the issue so I can possibly get it fixed w/o spending money
Even if the light is not on, it is stored in the car computer. Find another part store and have them scan for codes or buy a scan tool and do it yourself.
I kinda figured as much. Any suggestions on a particular brand?
