I've had my '95 3.4 5-speed car for 3 or 4 months and have had both the security light and the SES light come on each something close to 10 times. Each time, either light stays on for 1-3 minutes or so, then turns itself off. I'm one of those unfortunate fellows with an OBD1 car that has the OBD2-style port.
Faced with paying ridiculous money for the simplicity of the trouble code extraction process, I'd rather just get my own diagnostic equipment that I can use again later. I know Actron makes a unit tht can do it and sells for something like $250. It has come to my attention that it's possible to get computer software that does the job and can be plugged right into the car's ALDL.
Has anyone located a software product that can extract my codes for about what I'd pay the dealer(~$100)? All I really want is the codes; any other diagnostic capability would be icing on the cake. Thanks in advance.
