Can anyone explain how this works? I really would appreciate some help.
My engine management light has been staying on, I took it to a mechanic who said he knew about these things. He looked at the car and stuck one part of the cable that he had, a bit like a scart cable, under the steering wheel and the other end of the cable was put into a handheld Hewlett Packard device. I take it this was just a palmtop.
Can anyone tell me is the handheld device a special thing that mechanics buy that has the programme installed, or is it just a normal palm held computer that you buy the software for?
Three error codes came up on the handheld device, he then wrote the 3 numbers down on a piece of paper and went into his garage, came back a few minutes later and said that one of the problems was the Lamber sensor.
Do you need a special handheld device or can you just buy the cable and plug one end into a laptop and get software for this?
I really would appreciate an explanation on how this works.
He charged me £35.00 and advised me to return with the car so that he can replace the lamber sensor and reset the engine managemen sensor on my dashboard and he said said everything should be fine then.
