SES issue

My SES light does not work. I tested the bulb, replaced it and used a paperclip in the aldl and no SES light. Which scanner out there can I pick up to read codes since I can't use the paperclip trick?

Re: SES issue

I've got one like this but, I believe it pretty much does the same thing as the paper clip trick.

Might want to check for incoming power to the ALDL.

Re: SES issue

If you have a laptop, why not get an ALDL cable and download one of the free programs available? Much better than blinking out codes and a lot more informative. JM2C!
