- 1999 XLS
I have the dreaded "blinking O/D" light and was going to invest in a scanner for my 99 XLS to try an diagnose it. I think i've read every "blinking" post, but I'm still a little confused on the scanner. Someone mentioned that I wouldn't be able to read what code the tranny was throwing because it was related to the GEM and a simple OBDII scanner can't read those codes....so would i be wasting my money if I purchased a ~$100 scanner to diagnose this problem?
If not, what scanner do you recommend? I also have a 96 Outback and 05 MDX, so it would be nice is the suggested scanner could read those codes too.
