Na that wouldn't do it, it's a soft code. Meaning it didn't store in memory, so you have to scan it when the light is on, don't shut it off just go and scan it or wait till it gets worse or drive it long enough to store the code, then you can retrieve it.

If the light flashed on....there IS a code stored. You need to find a better quality scanner.

The scanner you are using is not suitable for our "special" trucks.
