Automakers to Make Diagnostic Codes Available

Posted by michael on from the keys-to-the-kingdom dept.

Rubbersoul writes "As reported on /. a few months ago independent auto repair shops are a bit tense about not having access to car computer diagnostic codes. Well it seems that now the auto makers will share these codes after all. According to an article at CNN the codes will be available to all professional mechanics as well as amateurs working out of their garage at home. Good to see the auto makers came around on this one, even if it did take Congress to help a bit."

    Loser.

    I bought Office XP at my school for $15. Educational license that turned into a permanent license when I graduated.

    $15, and it was worth every penny.
