Astar13 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I am new to the site and have a 2004 Esprit V8. (well my boss has owns it but I do get to drive it ) I know this is an easy ? for most of you but I have a engine check light on and am unsure how to retrieve the code. I have a motorcycle background with limited car knowledge. If I need a scan tool does anyone know which one I need? If not could someone please tell me how to get it from the dash? Thanks all.

gmendoza Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 If all you want to do is check and clear codes, any OBDII scanner will work. You could even go to AutoZone and borrow theirs.

Gendan (Dean from there) replied to me and said the US source is http://www.autoxray.com/ Just in case anyone else needed to know. Thanks to all who replied!

joeyoesprit Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) If all you want to do is check and clear codes, any OBDII scanner will work. You could even go to AutoZone and borrow theirs. FYI yes most auto places will read the code but will NOT erase the error code.
