- 1999 Explorer
I bought this -99 Explorer a week ago and of course there are some issues with it.
The most important for me at this moment is the transmission error, the flashing O/D light.
I understand from reading lots of threads here that it is of greatest interest to retrieve the error codes.
So my question is: What reader/scanner should I get to be sure it reads Ford manufacture specs, especially transmission related codes?
Me myself am leaning towards a cheap Bluetooth device and use it with Torque.
Is that an adequat solution? Can that configuration present and manage the Explorers specific codes, transmission codes in particular?
Sometimes when reading about those readers sold online they seem to manage standard common error codes, mainly corfrelated to various Engine and combustion systems. But Im interested in reading and managing all the systems in my X and therefor I ask - Can a Bluetooth reader do that together with Torque, or should I focus my search on another kind of reader/scanner and/or software?
