Hello, I have seen several websites shows engine code with a reference table and I thought this could be beneficial for me. I am looking for information to buy (or not to buy) an engine code reader for GM Pontiac Bonneville and Sunfire GT (2.4L year 2000). I am planning to use it as an information or for home engine trouble shooting purpose.



Questions:



1/ Is there something I can buy from automotive shop that offer the same codes reading capability as in GM garage?
2/ Can I use the same code reader unit for Sunfire or other GM product ?
3/ Can I use the same code reader on other made vehicle such as Volvo? and lastly !
4/ Which code reader model is the best buy for the buck?

Thanks for the help.

If you got a palm III then your half way there. About 200 bucks for the hook up and your set. Heres the company I bought mine off of.
