Help! check engine light on

[Timco]

I use Dash Command. Great app. Works with BT. Apple version is wifi only and not as reliable.

The full APP is around 6 to 10 bucks.....Money well spent. Before I got my Durametric and I had a engine light come on while driving I could stop and read the code (usually a Catalytic error) and I had no worries about driving it home. The App will even go online and look up the code for you and you can store them on your phone (cloud) and retrieve them later . While it is nowhere a full diagnostic setup for 20 bucks it is money well spent. Forget the Chinese Cable that hacks durametric software...if you want one I have one you can have if you pay shipping....but a coat hanger is just (perhaps more) useful.

Oh and the little blue ELM 327 are so cheap I have one in each car and setup profiles in my phone for each.
