I'm sure this is out here somewhere but the site's search function is failing me. I need to replace a tire and I figured while I'm at it I can get rid of the soft Continentals that came OEM and get something that has a better, firmer sidewall. I thought I heard Hankook was the was to go, but I can't find a 155/60-15 on their site for the front. And, yes, I have to stick with the stock rims. (and now, as I open the floodgates)...Any Suggestions??<br/>

When I changed my oil filter last weekend the Engine Warning indicator (outside ring, right side, look like an engine) came on. The deal is 2 hours away so I decided to see if my local regular shop could at least pull the code. This afternoon we hooked the smart up to the code computer at the Firestone store and pulled a po900 "clutch actuator circuit open". Probably not related to the oil filter.<br />

I call the dealer and give the service guy the code. He calls me back 30 minutes later: "How did you get the code?" I tell him. "Why", I ask. "couldn't you find the code?" "No", he says. "We called smart corporate. They told us that the tried a lot of different OBD II readers or computers and none of them would pull the codes correctly. In fact, we were told that the ONLY device that will read a smart code from the OBD connection is the factory smart computer. We were told not to accept any code from any other computer." I said stuff about 'you've got to be kidding' and told him the device we were using was 'smart' enough to turn off the light... We both agreed to see if it comes back on in the next few days.<br />

Is this guy's info any good? Are all the ScanGauge II's out the a waste? Could it be and any reader can read the codes but only theirs can interpret them? Should I pray harder for a dealer closer? I'm soooooo confused.
