Flashing out DTC's on the dash?????
The check engine light came on in the wife's '01 Sploder this morning. I don't have a scanner of any type. Is there a way to blink out the codes on the dash on these? Or what scanner would you reccomend? Thanks.....

Go to one of the parts houses and they will read the codes for free. Bring the codes back here for help instead of listening to them for advise.

You could do that on OBD I but can't AFAIK on OBD II. As Seal1 said, get it read and come back. Spend no money until you do.
