Code Reader for 406 2.0 auto (year 1997)

[ucc-csk]

Anyone knows that which code reader is suitable for 406 2.0 Petrol auto (year 1997)?
i'd like to know how to check error code by myself.

Thanks

I don't think there is such a thing because the D8 used a non standard signal bus and connector.
There is a method of reading off the codes using the diag connector by bridging pins; have a look here.

Dear teamster 1975,

I'd like to know what is the LED test Lamp? I search on internet that It said it is self made test Lamp.
It can count the number. I do not know! Is it the test lamp can flash number of times representing the number of error code?
How do I get the test Lamp? made by self?

Thanks!

I guess it'd be home made as if a garage had the car they'd plug it into a Diag machine!

Have you actually got any faults with your car? It's not the sort of thing you'd want to do for the sake of doing it

The car had a problem a month ago, the engine hesitation. The dealer said it should change the whole throttle housing (as I know there are six sensors and two motors). It will cost a lot of $$$$. So I took it home and think to sovle the problem and had found the page and think to change the stepper motor first:

I phoned the dealer to buy the stepper motor. It would cost 3 times as I bought it on ebay a day later. So I changed it and the problem solved.

I think there will be some sensors will be breaken down soon. I'd like to find a tools to check the error code so that in case...

Thanks your advise. Hope to find some way to know more about the car and the problems.

I have a PCMscan Blue tooth code reader produced by Palmer Engineering it works fine on my 2000 HDI 110 diesel with an OBD2 connection - you got to make sure yours has this connection before you get one - there are a number of ways to do this - check out some obd sites that give the pin positions in the plug if it is not marked OBD on the cap.
Hope this helps.
