Hello all, this is my 1st post. I have a 93 Ford F150 that the engine light stays on shortly after start-up. I'm looking for an engine scanner that I could use on the truck. I saw the kit in the parts store but that is kinda pricey since the truck has 206k+ miles on it, any other scanner that would work?
Thanks for the help,
Terry

The EECIV system requires a special scanner. Pay someone to scan the vehicle and it will save a lot of money and effort.
