Anyone in canada read CEL's for free?

Pretty sure mister transmission does at least till the end of the month.

 

[SnafuFlux]

haha, why do you stay till the end of the month?

 

[mbb41]

Heard on a radio add that they say they will do it till the end of the month. I had one read there about a year ago though. I think they may be dropping the program.

just a promotion, though id bet they keep doing it.

Crappy Tire is running a sale on their OBD II code readers btw

 

[SnafuFlux]

how much?

and do those readers come with all the plugs for all makes/models? and how long do you think ODBII computers will be around? is ODBIII on its way?

Ford has already switched from the OBDII to the CAN setup. In Windsor I will read your codes for free as long as it is on your contour. Other than that $37.50 plus tax.

the crappy tire OBD II is also CAN as well, i think it was a hundred bucks

 

[SnafuFlux]

CAN? is this a new one?

 

[chongo]

Princess auto has a few and 1 is on sale for $59.99, but it only reads codes.

I know it's not free, but if you end up having to pay for a scan you may just want to buy one.
Can was developed by Bosch in 1983 and used since 1993 more here...........

The ones at CT work fine on Contours. I ought to know, I have one.

CAN? is this a new one?

yeah at first I thought it was just some kind of canadian version but apparently its the next step after OBDII.

 

[SnafuFlux]

so this is a system created by the creaters of ODB?
