Message:
I am always reading on the board how people check their internal engine codes. I was wondering how they do that? Do you have to get an external computer to hook up to the pcm?? Just wondering.

Also, is there any way to plug right into the computer and change settings that way? It could be risky but kinda fun and entertaining :-)

It depends on the year...some you can check with the Key or Trip-Meter button, others you can't.

There's no way available (without spending a pot-load of money) to just plug in and change the PCM tuning via the diagnostic port. Granted, the DRB-III can "flash" a set program...but it has no way of changing specifics.

Turn the key to the on position, then off, then on , and off and finally to the on position. The error code should pop up in your odometer.
