Here is a list of the codes it is showing, I want to clear them all out, and then see what comes back, if any.

 

the Profile shows the list in a different manner

 

I found the answer on YouTube, once all the codes have a check mark / are listed, you go down to the bottom left and there are two DTC buttons there, no labels, you have to mouse over them, and wait for the popup to tell you what it is. the 2nd one to the right is DTC Clear Codes.

Did that, and now the only code remaining is P1000 which means the Self Diagnostic Trip Test has not been Completed following an Emissions Test.

the description goes further to say it take a few drive cycles for the module to "learn" and reset itself.

So, my Excursion is now good to go...

next up, install the Hydra tuner and the Edge CTS w/EGT probe.

.

 

The app is written for computer geeks, all of the buttons are labeled with popup text , ...which is normal in that world

You do not need the license unless you are changing parameters on the system -- for testing and code reading it is not used

I go either way, ...just don't call me a technician

 

that's alright, I'm not either and I have been called a "technician" since 1958....
only my avocation was in electronics, started out as a ham radio operator KN5AWO in '57
K5AWO in '59 and Extra Class in '81 and then in '91 my employer declared that Ham Radios are to be banned in their vehicles

that soured me, then I discovered computers in '88 so that was the beginning of the end of my operating in the Ham Radio world, after 8 to 12 hours at work fixing Fire Department radios, computers, I just didn't feel like sitting down to a desk and yabbering at the world.... a hot shower and bed were more inviting

 

it is getting cold here, is BioCide or Diesel Klean good enough for winter months?
I just bought the truck, no history, so I think a lot of Preventive Maintenance is in order.

 

Power Service in the white bottle would be good in the cold -- Gray bottle for summer

 

my local Bumper to Bumper store only has Howe's AntiGel Cleaner, he said to pour in 16oz for the first time, as I have no history on this truck....

Now, I just checked the ATF and I am flabbergasted, this is so clear, that I can't see it, I had to move out into the clear sunlight in order to see a glossy reflection and be able to see the ATF level.

what type of ATF is in this truck?

This stuff has been made since 1920, that is before I was even born....
any pro or con opinions on it?

 

You may find this thread interesting:

Fuel additives: Changes happen, great things can happen

So as I have tried to do in recent years is to be more open minded about things we use in these trucks. Motor oil, fuel additives, oil additives, etc etc etc...whatever. Why?? Cause we as owners tend to get in a rut with a "closed mind" about what works, what doesn't work. Sure NO ONE wants...

I use DK mostly, but have used Howes sometimes. It seems to work well.

 

the Howe's must have over-ridden my question on the ATF, why is this so clear?
I am used to seeing Red ATF.

 

What does your ATF look like on a white paper towel?

 

Had to look again, here you go.... I am color blind, it is "darker" on the towel

 

Looks reddish to me.
