Reading codes on a 99 5.9 Durango - 7/9/2007 3:23:40 PM    zukgod1   Posts: 23 Joined: 6/13/2007 Status: offline I would swear I saw a post from someone telling how to do this. Something to do with the keystroke etc? Any know. On my 01 2500 it's a cycle the key 3 times and read the codes in the ODO window but not in the 99  Durango. dan Post #: 1

Superchips or the Dealer are your only options I believe. '00+ can be read on your own via 3 keys on and watch in the odometer area for the code to flash.

If you do opt for a scanner you can pick one up from auto zone or the likes it just has to be an OBD III reader I do believe. _____________________________ 2000 Durango 5.9L SLT+ Flowmaster 40 "Custom" Ram Air 31" BFG AT T/A KO's Bilstein Shocks Hidden Hitch Sirius Satelite Radio E-fan conversion Smittybilt brushguard SSU's (in reply to master tech) Post #: 4
