Description from the creator

In this video, I quickly demonstrate how to view a Dodge truck OBDII code related to a check engine light without having a scan tool. The code will flash up on the odometer display and can then be looked up in an OBDII database to determine what caused the check engine light to illuminate.

I am not a professional mechanic, and my videos are not intended to offer professional advice. Always reference your vehicle's service manual for official information, and please do not attempt any repair that you are not comfortable doing.

Thanks for watching!
