    Well I guess it is off to the dealer for a read. Starting to wonder about my truck choice.
    Would love the Star machine, would work with the smart car as well most likely. Any DDDl available and what $$$$. Might be worth getting one. Was set up for the 1 ton with a reader now I need another one for this truck.

    Turn engine off. turn key switch on. turn cruise control switch off, now depress the res/accel switch. The check engine light will now start to flash. ex. flash 3 times and then pause, flash 6 times,then pause. this is code 36. hope this helps.

    He means is there a fault error code retrieval routine such as that of s CAT where the process of holding down the cruise control "set" button while the cruise control selector is in the "off" position would yield a sequence of flashes spaced evenly, followed by a possible 2 second pause, that would announce a second sequence to follow. For example: flash, flash, flash, 2 sec pause, flash....Would be error code 31. You guys should all be kicked out of the garage.
