Why YSK: Reading the codes is a simple process and can save you time and money. Example: yesterday my check engine light came on. I read the code before calling my mechanic. Turned out that I had not fully tightened the gas cap when I filled up earlier in the day.

If I had not checked the code and took it in to my mechanic (over 25 years going there, very honest) , he would have shamed me, cleared the code and told me to get the hell out.

Other mechanics may not be as honest and there is a possibility of unnecessary work.

I have a Motopower brand scanner, just checked and they are about 20 bucks.

I am by no means a "car guy', so other helpful redditors hopefully will answer questions and make suggestions.

Why YSK The malware added extra shopping links to amazon and best buy mainly in order to get a commission. There is a replacement called "Save Image As PNG" available for chrome based and firefox browsers
