   You really should pull the codes BEFORE you do anything else. Check the   
   AutoZone Website to see if they have the same thing with a differennt name   
   in Canada. If not, ask your favorite parts store if they have a Tool Loaner   
   Program, and if they do, ask if they also loan the scan tool for OBD II.
