[ale] OT: check light diagnostic tool

[neal]

If you need immediate results, as noted Autozone will do for free. 

Note that stock ODBC readers will NOT find all manufacturer data, at least for Toyota and Mercedes there is a wealth of data ODBC cannot access - only dealer computers can.     In many cases the DTC code is only an approximation of what is really going on.  You can experiment with crowd-sourcing your DTC code against what others have done to fix, but, unless it's cheap to try, you might be better off getting the dealer to read the real codes.

I've been extremely happy with a simple "ELM-327" bluetooth dongle and
"Torque Pro" on my android phone.
