ITS KINDA LIKE HAVING EATEN SOMETHING BAD

YOU ARE HAVING CONVULSIONS AND YOU CANNOT SPEAK.....ALL YOU CAN DO IS DRAW PICTURES WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND

A MIS-INTERPRETED DRAWING MIGHT COST YOU YOUR LIFE OR UNNECESSARY PAIN

SORTA TRANSLATE THAT INTO CAR/ $$$ TERMS

THAT'S WHAT saturntech9 NEEDS IS THE "PLEA FOR HELP" PROVIDED BY THE ON BOARD COMPUTER

THEY USUALLY DO NOT SPECIFICALLY SAY WHAT "BROKE"....BUT THEY DO TELL WHAT IS HAPPENING AS A RESULT.....THAT'S WHERE THE "EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING" KICK IN TO FIGURE IT OUT

HE NEEDS THE ACTUAL LETTERS AND NUMBERS FROM THE CODING

THIS IS USUALLY DONE FOR ----FREE!!!!---- AT MOST POPULAR PARTS STORES

YOUR TURN
