Another option, popular with the young'ns--is FORScan (pronounced
'foreskin' or so I'm told). It's a Windows app suitable for a laptop
and pretty comprehensive. S/W is free/shareware, but a license
opens doors. It's written by Russians, I believe (so far my laptop
hasn't tried to invade my neighbors). I bought it to diagnose a
no-start on my Lincoln, which ended-up being caused by a dead fuel
pump, which didn't throw a code (you'd think it would have thrown
'low fuel pressure,' but I got it by process of elimination) . It
can modify some pretty obscure parameters. You need a dongle, of
course, this one is recommended:<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I picked up a low end scanner from FIXD. It’s basic, doesn’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?
