Default Checking '99 MPI engine hrs

Whats involved? Can a tool be just plugged in and read, or do motors have to be running?

They do not have to be running but the computer needs power. That means as a minimum that the battery is connected and you may also have to put the ignition on.

US1,

Ign. must be turned on to read hours on scan tool. On multi engines, you can select which one you're reading on the scan tool. If you need the scan tool, let me know.

You have a scanner? I would like to compare my motors hrs against the hr meter on the dash.

Thanks,

I have 1999 Merc 454 Mag MPIs. Can I plug a computer into those? If so, who else has one in the mid east? I'll pay shipping.
