I have to agree with you about a low tech way of pulling codes. The same
thing happened to me yesterday morning. Started up and the Check Engine Light
came on. I have a 99 4x4 V6 with just over 1000 miles on it. There doesn't
seem to be anything wrong with the truck, it runs great. However, I didn't
have any plans to make a trip to the dealer. Looks like I do now! Let me know
if they say anything about the FABM I just ordered the parts for mine.
