[ale] OT: check light diagnostic tool

[Geoffrey Myers]

Yes, it is for a 1999 Mazda pickup. Really would like immediate results, so don't want to wait for over night shipping. Took it by autozone a while back, but did not show anything. Also, it doesn't stay on. Has been blinking on and off for a couple of months. Just recently it has been coming on more regularly, hence the inquiry. I'll check my local auto parts stores.

In many cases the DTC code is only an approximation of what is really going on.  You can experiment with crowd-sourcing your DTC code against what others have done to fix, but, unless it's cheap to try, you might be better off getting the dealer to read the real codes.
