Oh shoot, the one he was talking about he returned. My bad.

I use the OBDII scanner from Canadian tire. It is often on sale and works perfectly.

You still haven't told us if your computer is in the dash or under the hood. The reflash only works for the ones under the hood.

Blazee, the computer is under the hood.

Plug in the scanner and turn the key to the on position before start.

No it doesn't. You stick a paper clip in a OBDII computer port, you are bound to blow your computer.
