Garage Day and OBD Tech Session at Jon's Place
September 23, 2001
| Jon
Grabbe has graciously offered to open up his garage in Merrimack, NH to
us for yet another garage day! As always, the list of projects is
variable, and depends a lot on who shows up when and what we have time to
do. If there's something you want to do on your car, hop on the e-mail
list and let us know! Jon will provide donuts in the morning, and we'll
pool our resources together for a small cookout for lunch.
Along with the usual array of projects, Justin Hughes will give a demonstration of the on-board diagnostics systems on our Saturns, as well as how to retrieve trouble codes yourself. In OBD-I cars (1991-1995), it's as easy as jumping two terminals together and watching the SES light flash. OBD-II cars (1996 on) don't do that, but we'll have OBDScan available on a laptop computer that will let us retrieve and reset OBD-II trouble codes. |

Is the SES light in your car on? Perfect! Bring your car, and we'll use it as a demo. And best of all, we'll be able to diagnose the problem ourselves, rather than having to shell out $60-80 to have a dealer do it. The festivities begin no earlier than 8:00am, and run until Jon kicks us out! |
