This. A smart phone, a $5 app, and a plug into your OBDII ($10-30) are absolutely worth it. If you have a smart phone, it is the way to go. There are different varieties for android and iphone however.

As others have mentioned, save yourself $170 for "diagnosis" and buy OBDII dongle and a $5 smartphone app.
For $224 you could replace all for sensors.

Took it to the dealer to get the CEL diagnosed and reset. The code they pulled had something to do with a faulty heat circuit on one of the O2 sensors. At this point, they had the CEL reset at no cost to me. If I wanted them to chase it further, and determine which one of the four O2 sensors had the faulty heat circuit, that was going to cost $170, and I was going to have to leave it with them for a few hours.
Well, I figured getting the code read and getting the CEL reset at no cost was a good start. I told the service guy if the CEL comes on again, I'll call him and schedule an appt for them to do a more in-depth diagnosis, and hopefully it won't be difficult or expensive to fix.
So I left the dealer, drove to work, topped off the gas tank, and no CEL. Then, 45 miles later, it's on again...ugh...

fixed my rotted out driver's seat. pulled it out looking like this:
put it back in looking like this:
but why oh why did it rot out? this here be the culprit:
lots o rot
cut out, new piece welded in
found another small spot, fixed that too. rot also went through the door sill but i didn't feel like spending a lot of time on that, so i just cleaned it up and seam sealed it along with everything else
after some rust convertor whatever primer and rust protector paint. who knows how good it is but its way better than it was
also pulled and tossed most of the insulation. it was full of water and there was no way it would dry out. i'll put in some no-name dynamat in the spring.

Yikes...all those rocks and boulders out there probably don't make for a good backstop...are you shooting in a place where it's legal?

I don't have a smart phone (by choice), so that's not an option. I'm perfectly happy with my 3G flip phone, lol! I've also already replaced the Y-pipe with new cats, and all four O2 sensors, and the CEL is still going on. So I need to get the specific codes that are making the CEL go on, and go from there. 'Course I also replaced the stock ECU with a used one, as part of the diagnosis process with the CEL, and it may be throwing codes from the vehicle that this used ECU came out of. We'll figure it out eventually...

^^ this guy....^^ beautiful spot with great backstops. Shooting my EBR & Remington 700 .308 sniper rifle at 400+ yards. Fun trip. Yes it's legal, no I won't give location. Border patrol buddy told me about it and to keep it hush hush.

Serviced my t-case and diffs today. Also finished my double din stereo install (pioneer AppRadio). My fluid pump makes quick work of servicing in tight spaces. 3-4 pumps pumps out a quart and this thing holds 5 quarts. I used Lucas syn 75/90 + Lucas oil additve.
