More than anything, I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience. I have the absolute cheapest, Walmart code reader you can buy. I've used it on numerous vehicles and have never had a problem with it reading OBDII codes. But it won't work with my '04 Expedition. It says "Linking to Vehicle | SAE J1850 PWM | Waiting for vehicle to respond". The progress bar is about 1/3 of the way across. It never errors out, just stays like this.
I'm assuming I have power to the connector (and I've checked fuse #41). Is it just the cheap reader, or is there something else I should be checking? I've only had the Expedition for two weeks and driven it about 500 miles, but yesterday I got a 'Service Engine Soon' light.
