For a little over $100 (about what most stealerships will charge you for "diagnostics" to use the thing one time) you can get a pretty decent one that even tells you what most of the codes mean without having to find a book and look them up.
Imma take a random guess and say it's the gas cap. Looks like the CEL has been poppin' up recently in the '02s n' '03s, but yea get a look at the code n' then figure out what's really wrong with it before doing anything =D
u gots a tbe or what? My light would go on when i had my perrin downpipe installed, then 2 days after taking it off the check light turned off... don't know your mods though.
