I'm not sure if this is the right section but I read on here in this site some time ago about what some of you guys' used to diagnose the onboard computers on your Rangers. Our 1999 Ranger's check engine light came on and the code reader I use for the '94 won't work on the '99. A few years ago I bought a diagnostic tool they used in service stations that used all sorts of different connectors and different diagnostic cards for different areas of the vehicles but it's an obsolete tool and you can't find the cards anymore and I only have 1 or 2. The tool and program I'm asking about is one that was mentioned that has a way of connecting your PC/laptop to your vehicle's onboard computer and programs for diagnosing the onboard computer system. I don't remember if the connection to the PC was through a cable or Bluetooth or what though. Any help would be appreciated and I hope you understand what I'm asking about.
