no more CEL service or scan tool rental in Califonia
« on: April 23, 2009, 01:57:31 PM »
I went to the local Autozone to read a CEL on my Chevy Trailblazer,
and they told me that it was now against the law in Ca to loan out a ScanTool! 
I almost can't believe this, but it is Ca. What's next.
I can't wait to get transferred out of This state, if this is a sign of thing to come

Hmm, that's strange.  Did you ask if this was Company Policy?  Depending on the year of your Jeep, you might not need a scanner anyways.

I think the desk jockey is an idiot or the stores don't loan them out anymore.  They sell the damn thing so I can't see it being against the law.  It's not like you can really do much other then read codes from them.

Your '00 should display CEL's on the dash so a reader isn't necessary.

I know it's dumb that they sell them but can't loan them out.
Kragen auto parts told me the same thing. I'm still new to the whole jeep thing, I take it the CEL will blink a code at you?

The scan tool was for a Chevy Trailbalzer, I know more GM stuff then jeep right now :eek:, but am learning from this site
