DIY Pulling CEL Codes
What's the cheapest device I can buy that will let me pull CEL codes and reset ECU for a newage car?
I don't fancy paying a dealer £30 to diagnose/reset a CEL everytime I get one.
Cheers
Mark.

How about sorting out why the car is throwing up CEL codes ?? My dealer never charged me for plugging in their select monitor and advising me on what the problem might be.

My dealer never used to charge me either but on my last visit I got stung for £30 - Don't want to have to rely on them just to turn CEL off @ £30 a go.

If anyone else is looking for an OBD2 scanner, I bought this one for £36 and can confirm it works with the Newage Scoobs. I have read & reset CEL codes from ECU several times - obviously a laptop is required.

All you need now is a program to calculate acceleration from gearing/tyres/weight/frontal area and you have a rolling rd.
