Onboard Diagnostic Scanner
« on: December 02, 2010, 08:30:41 PM »
Just got my new OBD scanner today and headed out to the Willys to try it out. Looked in all the usual places for a jack to plug it in, under dash, firewall,etc. Couldn't find a place to plug in. I will have to contact the manufacturer and see if the sell a "Willys adapter". :-?

Okay, got it figured out. Step 1 cut the plug off the scanner and connect 1 lead to the high beam positive headlight terminal, connect 1 lead to the #3 sparkplug wire,  ground 1 lead to the bottom of the bell crank. Step 2 disconnect battery, jack up right front wheel 2 inches, turn headlight switch on for 3 minutes, sound horn twice.  Now the scanner reads as follows-  Code# $$$4,200  ( repair/replace rusty tub)  Code#$$$120 (repair/replace rusty tailgate) Code#$$$200 (replace broken windshield glass)  Code#$$$600 (replace 5 NDT tires and tubes) Code# $$$450 ( replace original Emerald Green paint- note- bright yellow may be acceptable option)
At this point the scanner ran out of battery. I wish I�d spent a little more money and bought the one that actually make the repairs instead of just talking about it. ;D
Anyway, time to put the Jeep aside and go figure out which coil pack is going on my Ford truck this time.

 :o but now you can't use it on your truck. I hope you didn't throw the plug away.  ;D
