Code reader doesn't work?
I went to read my codes with a buddys scanner and an error came up. Is this because the reader is only for gassers? I tried to use by dads sct tuner as a reader as well and it just goes into a tuning mode, no check engine scan.

I suggest that you find a reader that is known to work on our DIESELS. Your OBD port could be corrupt, you've already stated that the power supply is good...............I'm still leaning towards the code reader.

You will need to use one like an AutoEnginuity or Snap-On as the codes are proprietary to Ford.
