Cheap Scan tool to read all codes? HELP, please.

[Diarmud387]

Hi,
Am having trouble with car, can't afford dealership or repair shop yet.
But I do have the Saturn factory repair manuals.

This is a 98 Saturn SL2, automatic.

What is the best tool for reading all the Saturn specific codes,
including OBDII of course.

I really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Dermott

You can get your codes read for free if there is a Autozone near you. If
you dont know what the code is you can then ask us. All OBDII codes that
start off P0--- are generic OBDII codes.

It works perfecly. It can also erase all trouble codes and ckeck engine
light.
Good befoe going for inspection - Just drive about 50 miles to warm up the
motor and burn all
deposits fom mufler. Then clear all codes and you pass the inspection.

It's very basic and only reads the generic codes.
