Hi:

I don't know where you're located, but in most places, parts stores, like Auto Zone, will scan it for free.

I'm glad you fixed it. Someday, I hope I can visit, but the way life is, there is always something new that needs dealt with. I hope someday you can visit here too. America is also a beautiful place.

Take care of yourself.
