Code Scanner
I need a code reader/scanner just to read the code and turn off the engine light.
It must be compatible with a 2008 ML63 but just, as I described, a basic unit.
Reason: gas cap open light comes on all the time. It is tight, 3 clicks and all that, yet is not seated properly. Shortly after the gas cap message the engine light illuminates and I can't have the mechanic shut it off as he's a tank of gas away. So cheaper to have my own basic diagnostic and the ability to turn it off myself.
So can anyone recommend a specific scanner for an 08 ML63?
Please and many thanks

For what you need you can get one at Walmart for less than $100.
It can read the codes and reset your check engine light.
I have this one and it is perfect for what you describe:

Thanks, much appreciated. As to the new gas cap, first thing I too thought of. Research on this board suggested to me that a new gas cap had proved fruitless.
