My check engine light is lit on the dashboard of my Ford Taurus 2000 wagon.
I'm considering purchasing an OBD-2 code scanner for diagnosing what is wrong. There are three brands that I checked on with my local car parts dealers.
They are Auto Xray by Car Quest, KAL and Actron.
They cost in the neighborhood of about $165
I need some advise as to whether these are reliable brands and if anyone has suggestions to give me on other brand names. Also is it a good idea for a do it yourselfer to use a OBDcode scanner to diagnose check engine light on problems?
