I don't recall how to read them offhand, I've done it before it's not hard, but search on this site and you'll find the procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 For a 98 I believe you have to use a scan tool. You can have a dealer read the codes. Have them tell you the excact code #, not just a general description of what they say the code is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
