Can't answer your question directly, but if you want to save the expense many auto parts stores in my area will hook up a scan tool and give you the results for no charge.

My car is still under warranty so I guess I could take it to the dealer have them pull the code - for free I might add.
My car has been modded a little so I'm not sure how they would take that.![Embarrassment](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif)
Anyhow, it just came on one day. I reflashed it with my SCT XCalibrator I but the **** CEL still comes on after a while.

I got an X-Cal 1.
So I can't read the codes.
I went to Autozone today and I borrowed a OBD reader.
The code is P0506 - idle RPMs too low.
I did recently change from 5W-20 oil (Amsoil) to 5W-30 oil (Mobil 1).
Do you think that could have lowered the idle RPM ?

I seriously doubt it, especially not enough to throw a code.

Does the x-cal 1 have user adjustable parameters? If so double check that the idle rpm's didn't get changed by mistake. I can adjust mine but I'm not familiar with version 1.

I took apart the throttle body and cleaned it out.
It was full of black stuff at the back.
My idle RPMs appear to be higher now.
No CEL light so far since I cleaned it.

It's very simple to clean and should probably be done routinely.
