My scanner came today. Bought the 520 off eBay on Friday, came today, Monday, from the other coast. I don’t buy much off eBay, but $159, free shipping. The guy has sold many, so I took a chance and it looks like it worked out.

Plugged it in, ran the auto scan, saved that, then reset everything. Transmission failsafe error is gone, transmission working perfectly again. After a few miles, the check engine light returned with the same error it’s had for months, P1093. I’ll chance that down now.

I’ll also work on a graph of the alternator. If anyone can kindly direct me to the right path to get there, I would appreciate it. Looks like learning the diagnostic tree structure is going to take me some time. Not knowing what’s available or what many of the acronyms stand for, it’s a little slow navigating.

But super happy so far. Money well spent.
