The problem is that I am sceptical as to if it's working. When will the dislplay read? When the car is on or off? thx.   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Billb Post Number: 1381 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2004 - 04:13 pm:    It'll only read if there is a fault code stored I believe - regardless if there is one stored it will definitely be on while the ignition is switched on.

I thought it was under the passanger seat - but can't locate mine. I have a '97 Disco 1. Thanks. bz   Leslie N.

If the fault occurs again, then the check engine light will again come on and a code will pop up.   Tony V.

Wait 30 seconds then reinstall. This will clear all the codes without having to re-set your clock or radio security code.
