Key Dance?

Hi all. I tried to search here and on the web and seemingly failed. Is there a way to get the OBDII codes to display in the dash for a 97 E350? Van's CEL came on and I want to see what's going on today while it's warm outside, rather than tomorrow when it drops back to zero again. Thanks.

Short answer is No, there is not.

Longer answer is from '97 forward one needs a code reading scanner, something like my Actron CP9580 or its newer version CP9580A. (At this level of simple hand held diagnostic scanners the ability to cancel codes as well as read any pending codes is their advantage.

Advance Auto, O'Reiliy's and Auto Zone will probably read and report those for you free of charge.
