anyone have an OBD-II reader

So the MCS has been displaying the occasional SES light, and since the car seems to be running right, I would need to wait ~1 month to get in at the dealer to have the code read (code red?) - and I'm just not that patient! Before I shell out some $$ for a reader of my own, just thought I'd see if anyone (preferably on the Peninsula) has one that I could use to read the code. I would of course drive to your location...

Thanks!

There are a few REME members scattered around the bay area and Sacramento area with readers... if you can not find one in Norcal, let me know.

I carry mine in my car at all times..
I am often between Concord and Fremont.
I would be happy to read your codes and reset (lets see what the code is)

I work in Colma and take the San Mateo Bridge home to Castro Valley. I could meet up with you somewhere after work.

Thanks again for the code read, Jim!

For those following at home it was P0326, which is a knock sensor. Even though I've been putting in high-octane from the local Shell, I guess I will try a different station and see if that helps keep it from coming back...
