Just plug the device in and go. Very simple and an OBDII scanner can be had for less than $100.

I would spend a little extra on a reader that tells you what the code actually is, like "Cylinder One Misfire," not just the "P0301" or whatever. It'll save you time looking up the codes online and you can get right down to work figuring out what's wrong. I think my Actron scanner was $99 from Advance Auto Parts, but I also bought a multimeter at the same time so I'm not 100% certain on the price.

Damn you Advance! Hahaha, oh well, should have known better.Comment

Ya those OBD2 scanners go in the plug under the dash by the steering wheel right?
Well I didn't keep that plug from the millennia, all I have is the diagnostics port from under the hood, the one that is the same as on an OBD1 KL harness.... If an OBD2 scanner will plug into that, then sure I'll buy one, but I think I gotta do this the old school way

The OBD2 scanner wont plug into that diagnostics port...Originally posted by Damkid View PostComment

If the diagnostics port is anything like my Protege's (gray cap, next to the engine bay fuse box) the scanner won't plug into it.
