Default 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 Ł20. 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
