 Message:
 Last week I totaled my 2000 Dakota.  I could get the OBD codes without needing to use a scanner by turning the ignition key on- off 3 times.  Now I'm looking at a 2005 to replace it and the dealer says I wont be able to do that on a 2005 and I'll have to use a scanner.  Since I'm always skeptical about what a dealer tells me, is that true ?

 Mike,
 
 Always a good rule to be skeptical.
 
 Get in the 05 you're looking at, try the key thing 3 times real quick, if it's got none stored, it will say 'done'
 
 And/or, you can always got to an auto parts store, nat'l chains do them for free.
 
 Good luck.
 
 Drive it like its paid for!
