Code Reader That Counts Flashes--Brand/Vendor?
Hi all,
I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find it in my subscribed threads, and it occurs to me that a new one may have come out since then, anyway.
Can anyone recommend a code reader that COUNTS THE FLASHES for you, and just gives you the codes numerically?
Also, I understand that some of the more expensive diagnostic tools also have a "Flight Recorder" function, i.e., they will capture and display real-time data, while driving. Do any of the more affordable "code readers" also have this function?
I may upgrade to the '97-2003 era of trucks. Will a reader that works on "our" era of trucks also do these? Will the same reader do both OBDI and OBDII vehicles?
Also, prices and suggestions re: where to buy would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

yes. when the PIP sensor on my 95 died,there was no check engine light,but the code was in the computer,so it is possible.
