You really dont need a code reader, but if you can take a picture I can tell you how to use it, basically you just plug it in, and flip the switch, and count the flashes, there are several lists online for the codes, make sure you write them down.

there are 2 tests, KOEO (Key On Engine Off) and KOER (Key On Engine Running), you basically hook up the tester, turn on the key, and watch the reader blink, after it is done spitting codes out you can start the truck and see what the computer says then, to clear the computer, you start the KOEO test and just pull the switch to the HOLD position. or unplug the reader while it is giving codes.

You can download the manuals for some of the Equus code readers there.
