OK. I will give it a shot in the morning and see what it says. I am not sure how to test it though. I will plug it up and see what options it gives me. Are you familiar with the Excal and what option I need to choose in order to run the test?

im not sure i've never used one, but there should be something in there about checking codes or DTCs.

Hey guys....I plugged it in and the only option it gave me other then tuning and car info was Data logging. I looked at that but I didnt see anything concerning trouble codes or Diagnostics...
