Can anyone reccomend a code reader? ST170 fault code problem

The EML is showing on my ST170 and the dash is showing DTC 9359. Can anyone recommend a good cheap code reader so I can read the codes properly.

Can anyone with previous experience of this code possibly shed any experience?

Cheers for any help.

I bought one of these off ebay for my old st170, think it was less than £20. Worked fine!

DTC 9359 is the code so no need to read it again !!!

Nearly all readers will give you a code number but not what the code means.

I would find out this actuall meaning first before doing anything else and only buy a code reader if you really want your own or need to reset a code that is classed as "persistant".
Most codes auto reset when you fix the problem and drive a few miles or disconnect the battery for a few minutes.
(Make sure you have radio code before disconnecting battery..etc..)

Google is your friend and here are a few hints I found...

Sounds like you have a fuse out
