I bought a 2005 Jimny VVT a couple of weeks back and just started using it today. After driving about 10 miles the engine management light came on. It ran fine for another 10 - 15 miles but the light was still on when I got home. Having read the various comments on your forum I would like to get a scanner to carry out some diagnostics (not just for this occasion but for the future) but am having difficulty finding a device that is suitable for a Jimny of this year. Can anyone help please with a model and where I can get one from in the UK.
No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationIf its a UK model then any EOBD scanner will work, you could also consider a V-checker or Scangauge. I used this one:
Thanks for the helpful reply. I'm a bit of a novice at this so any other advice would be welcome. Do I need anything else to read or interpret the codes or does that all come with the machine? I read that it connects somewhere under the steering column - is that correct and is it obvious where to connect it?
I'll order one this week and hope it fixes the pesky problem.
I'm a bit late to this party but a scangauge 2 would be my choice for the gauge aswell as the code reading/deleting ability. The car temperature gauge doesnt move till the engine is stupid hot!
