[Shop-talk] Inexpensive OBD-II Scanner

[Jeff Scarbrough]

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?
