Comment on About to ruin your whole day
Kintarian@lemmy.world 1 day agoMy check engine light came on and freaked me out. Found out the code was P0171: Bank running lean. I currently have a mix of gas and E85 in the tank and the computer doesn’t like it. Nothing is actually wrong.

Mine was a loose gas cap. I’m not paying $300 to a dealer to turn that light off.

You can buy a cheap Bluetooth OBDII scanner online and use a free phone app like Torque to read and clear codes.

I hadn’t bought an odb2 scanner in decades. I didn’t realize they have gotten advanced like that. I guess I should have.

I did get a cheap one but I work on my own cars so I now bought a much nicer one that has dealer level access.
MOST of my cars are too old to have OBDII. 35 years and older…NO CUP HOLDERS.
