Autozone does read OBDII for free, so I imagine Advance and Checker/O'Reilly do as well. Call and ask if they do.
Does any know where the reader is plugged into? Also, once the problem is fixed, how do I clear the Check Engine message light?
Thank you
Thank you
On my D1 you plug the code reader into a socket below the steering column. You might need to stick your head into the foot well to get a good view of it. Once you see the male end on the code reader's cable you will know what to look for.
As for clearing the code, the reader I used at O'Reilly (a blue Innova?) automatically read the code. There is a button with an icon in the shape of an eraser that you push. After a couple seconds of communication with your truck the code will clear. It may not register until after you re-start your engine.
I have given up on this approach since the check engine light will come back on within a couple days of me clearing the code. Even though I live a few blocks from an O'Reilly's, I welcome the reminder to buy a new fuel pump. Fortunately I just found a great deal on one.
Good luck with clearing your code. Hope the dash stays dark for you.

a: look for a black plug about 3/4" wide and 2.5" long on the plastic fascia under your steering column.
b: depends on your reader.

Thank You...found the plug-nice and loose of course. The code I received was P0125...with probable causes:
1. Coolant level low, checked this and fine.
2. Thermostat defective
3. ECT (engine coolant temp) sensor defective.
How do I know if it's #2 or #3? Is there any way to tell and are both reasonably easy to fix/replace?
Thanks again...will ask this in a new thread as well

When i type in P0125 into the PC software my reader came with, this is what i get for 96 Disco:
CLSD LOOP FUEL CTRL INSUFFICIENT COOLANT TEMP
