I picked up a low end scanner from FIXD. Itâ??s basic, doesnâ??t do brake 
controllers but did well on several cars for engine stuff & resets the check 
engine error. They have them on sale quite often for under $20. It runs an app 
on your phone via Bluetooth.

I have a 2012 Ford F-150 that throws a code.  It's been to the dealer and 
repaired, then it threw the code again 5 months 3000 miles later.  The dealer 
had it for a week and reset it and couldn't find a fault.  Now, another 1500 
miles and it's come back.

N.B. Changing the battery also threw a code (the light went off after driving 
for a while, but it still shows on the scanner).

I have a few suggestions to try and fix it, but I'm looking for something to 
read and reset the codes with.  I can get my FLAPS to read it, but they are 
reluctant to reset it sometimes.  I see readers on Amazon for $15 and up, but 
I'm willing to pay for a quality tool as long as it isn't stupid expensive.

Any suggestions?
