Hi, I've been a regular observer on these forums for a while, and would appreciate some help from my fellow Mini people!

I am trying to get my smog done this year, but the test center said I have a P2097 error code, and can't get it tested until it is cleared. After researching on here, it looks like the remedy would be to clear the code through a dealership or mechanic.

I don't want to go in and have to argue with them on what I would like done, since I am sure they will tell me it is an O2 sensor or something else. Ideally, I'd like to get it cleared so I can get it smog'd. Plus, I don't want to pay a lot of money to get this taken care of with this easy fix.

So, with that said, does anyone know of a local bay area shop that would be able to help without the hassle? Preferably in the east bay area would be great.

Thanks for your help!

 

Anyone?

 

Hello,

What I did to clear codes that pop up was to purchase the Peake code reader.

I believe its available from Way Motor Works.

I would offer mine, but I am located in Nevada.

 

Keep in mind that there is a new model: Go Pro Hero2 http://gopro.com/cameras/hd-hero2-motorsports-edition/

the LCD is easier to read, but is $299. The original Go Pro Hero, and motorsport kit, may come down in price due to this new model.

 

I could possibly assist, I could install my accessport on your car, clear the code, if it still exists, then unmarry the AP from your car. I'm located in the East Bay.

 

I could clear it for you--but I'm in downtown SF.

 

Thanks everyone for the responses!

Sure! Anything is worth a try=D I am in Pleasanton. Perhaps we can meet at Edge MotorWorks in Dublin, if that's convenient for you?

If that doesn't work, then I suppose getting the tool is the next option=P
