Thanks Larry. I am not sure what OBD-4 is though. I wasn't aware that ODB-4 was out, as a matter of fact, I never knew that OBD III was out yet.
I have seen some of your posts here in the past though, and don't doubt you. Could you point me to a web site that I could learn more about the OBD-4? I also would appreciate knowing the particulars on the OBD that you have used that you refered to in your post. I.E. name, and price? Thanks :) ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Stansifer To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 04:55 Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] OBD II tool? The early generation third party scan tools are generally not accessible to either JFW or Window-eyes. Even with using either the mouse pointer or the Jaws cursor both miss a lot of data on the screen, however the newer units most notably OBD-4 work fairly well. I was able to read most of the codes, fault logs, data logs and system failures. in a 05 5.7 Hemi Durango. I created a couple of failure codes by unplugging the MAP sensor and the thermostat override controller and Jaws told me immediately the appropriate failure codes.

Are any of you guys/gals using a OBD II (on board diagnostic 2) scan tool to read codes on your vehicles? If so, which one are you using? I would think that the hand-held ones are not accessable to a totally blind person, but how about the PC interface types? Do they work with JAWS or Windoweyes?
