   Why do you mess around with a stone axe and hammer when working on your   
   truck?   
      
   AutoZone will pull the codes free of charge using a scan tool tha tis   
   specifically meant for the job. The scan tool will reset the codes for you   
   too. You do not have to unplug the battery, then deal with programming the   
   radio again.   
      
   Pull the codes with the scan tool, and know that you are actually woriking   
   on the right stuff. You can leave the gas cap loose and get a Check Engine   
   light as a result.
