Just a quick note to let everyone know that I've updated the trouble code
program on the DML home page (http://www.dakota-truck.net/codes). In addition
to the MIL codes, I have added the scan tool trouble codes. For those of you
who may not be familiar with how trouble codes work, if you pull a code using
the "key on/off" method, and you get a code 43, you know there has probably
been a misfire, but no idea which cylinder (or cylinders). If you have a scan
tool, you can pull a powertrain code of the form "P0300", "P0303", etc.
However, some scan tools don't tell you what those codes mean. Before now, the
program didn't even recognize the scan tool type codes, but now it does. What
this means is if you have a scan tool, you can punch in "P305" and see that you
had a misfire in cylinder #5.
I noticed a couple of people comment recently that the codes page didn't
list the codes from their scanners, and I figured I should fix that one of
these days. :-) You can still enter the MIL codes like always (12, 55, 65,
etc.), but you can also use the scan tool codes. You can use 'em at the same
time too, just type all the codes in the same input box and hit the submit
button.
If you have any trouble with it, please let me know. Thanks!
