Does the dealer's scan tool scan more in depth than the regular OBD handheld scanners?

Ya because I don't have a slew of detailing products here or anything to buff the car with



Half,
Yes. The generic tools can not scan body codes, ABS codes or SRS codes. I bought myself an ELM based scan tool and full Ford support (CAN, OBD I/II). So I can. Still not anywhere near what a dealer tool can do though. Shit most guys running the scan tool aren't even aware of how much it can really do.

I should of come down. Now I have to work. :/

Bring a laptop to the show tomorrow and I'll look at it.

btw, shoot me some info on it, times basically (still at Tenvordee right?).

11-3 @ tenvordee. My laptop's battery took a shit so it doesn't hold a charge anymore.

Oh, and it turned off today...

Ryan had a B2232, drivers airbag circuit open (resistance based).

Any clue how that can be tripped?
Scan said the resistance of the circuit was 3 Ohms, passenger was 8 Ohms (best I can recall).

Reading and it sounds like either a loose wire in the column or the clock spring is worn. Right?

I was drunk as fuck when you drove my car last night. Want to tell me again what you all said? LOL.

It's slow and lethargic vs mine.

Far as the noise in the rear --> http://www3.sympatico.ca/robertlefebvre/LPE/
or PM P-51 on FJ, he made them.
Believe that's what your and my noises in the back are from. Not sure what else it could be.

I sent P-51 a couple PMs and never got a reply. I ended up getting a set from bumpnzx3.

They aren't as perfect as P-51's, but they don't really need to be.
