...this is follow-on to my recent post on dealing with a faulty charcoal canister, but searching the archive, it seems to come up for a number of different problems.
My question is: can you just buy any old OBD II code reader and reset the code and clear the memory?
I noticed that a code reader is only around $35 and for a problem like the charcoal canister issue, where there doesn't seem to be a substantive mechanical issue involved, if the clearing the code can turn off the "check engine" light long enough to pass inspection, then I'd have no moral qualms about doing it...
