Quick XCal2 Question

[Cris Laroco]

My co-worker's CEL on his '02 4Runner just came on, and he wants to find out why. I know that I can use my xcal2 to check my engine's codes, but I was wondering if I can use it on other vehicles besides mine to just check codes. I doubt it, but I wanted to ask here before I talk to him again.



Thanks.

I think I remember wayne told me that you chenk codes on all '96 & newer Fords when I bought mine.

I was afraid that it would be something like that. Oh well...I guess he's just going to have to find another person to help him out. Can't say that I didn't try, though.



Thanks for the help.

I tried using mine on my son's 97 Escort and got an error message that it couldn't read the code. Maybe when you've used it to flash your vehicle it will not work on any others.
