This one works for me. It's inexpensive and simple to use.

Get the ELM327 Bluetooth adapter for $9 on ebay, download the TorquePro app on your iPhone/Android for $5.00.

You now have an infinite app that can read CEL codes and clear them, you can also video record your track time, mph readings, rpm, o2 sensor, A/F ratio readings, oil temp, oil pressure, temperature, catalyst, etc etc etc etc!!!

Best part is, it works with ANY car that is 90s or newer.

Dealer pulled 3 codes today, I didn't ask which ones, but they all related to TC and ABS. First thing he ask, "were you driving in the snow?". We agreed it was just the computer freaking out, due to the slipping, and sliding, even though TC was turned "off". I'm curious if the pedal dance would have kept it from freaking?

Also mentioned the freezing window TSB, and they have parts on order for me. I was the first to come in about that one at this dealer, so they weren't aware of it. Thanks ft86club for the heads up!

I had a cel after doing some drifting in our parking lot last year. ABS and power steering lights went on. Lost power steering. Turned car off and back on and CEL only light on. Power steering was fine. Took it to dealer and he said the wheel speed sensor was triggered or something. Nothing serious just had to clear the code and no problems since then.

Restarted, and it would shift into park, drive, reverse, etc., and only the CEL remained on.

Any thoughts? I probably won't drive it until things thaw, and I can get it to the dealer, which, luckily, is less than a mile away.
