Vcross newbie wanting info

Sorry EC, didn't mean to insult your recommendation at all. What I should have said is that (IMHO) it would be better to read the code THEN disconnect the battery to see if it goes away. If the code had gone away without scanning first you might have no idea what happened, and if it didn't you just wasted time you could have been driving to get it scanned.

Sorry again!

mav,

There's really no problem with clearing the code without reading it. If it's a persistent problem, it'll come back. If the CEL doesn't come back on, then it's safe to assume that a homotron got in the electrical system.

BTW, last I checked, AutoZone will read the code but are no longer allowed to erase it (may actually be state law).
