Yep .. it went back. It was a good reader, just no good for what I needed it to do.

Can't really afford a real expensive reader now ... might just settle for another trip to Ford and let then hassle with it.

Did this scanner (Cen-Tech CAN OBD II Code Reader/ EOBD Scanner) read live temps for ECT/EOT by chance? It says "live PCM" Does that include ECT/EOT.?

Thanks

It read the live ECT ... but I could not get it to read the EOT. It seemed like a nice quality scanner ... but not much good for the 6.0L. It would not return the stored codes from the wrench light either.
