Any idea what a flashing HOLD light means? It only happens at the same times when I'm getting a misfire code and a flashing CEL. I thought it might be some sort of diagnostic trouble code (7 blinks = _____ or whatever)
Anyone?

when my car misfired i remembered it flashed, but never flashed again or came on for that matter unless i press that little button, you nay be right though, i would not worry about it
cars havent signaled codes in a long time. but i would think it is possible for the light to flash as a "check tranny light"
After reading this and my other thread, do you think it would be worth it to buy an OBDLink + ScanXL software package for $180?
I'm afraid a mechanic would have to keep the car for days to track down the problem since it only happens when the engine is completely cold. I could do data logging as long as I wanted to with ScanXL. The downside is there's a good chance I won't be able to interpret the readings...
thoughts?
you could buy a cheap obd2 cord and download free software and potentially get the same results for a lot less than $180..
Or just go to nearest autozone, hang out in there for 45 minutes until your car cools off and use theirs for free... :lol:
but they just have the code reader, not an actual diagnostic setup, right?Quote:

No, not the diagnostic setup just the reader and a printout of what codes usually mean...Quote:
