Starting last night, whenever I turn on my Explorer, I get a solid check engine light. I've heard about the paperclip trick for reading codes on the older cars, is there something similar for 96+ vehicles, or am I stuck paying the $60-$80 diagnostic fee? I'm kinda short on cash and I'd like to be able to repair this myself, if it's an O2 sensor, or something similar. Thanks.
