Cell after seafoam.

I have a cell after doing this.

my friends OBD2 scanner can't read it, keeps saying Error. Cen-tech from harbor freight. Guess it does not have the CAN part.

I am reading that this is normal after doing the seafoam, is this true?

Some people say they got one while other didn't. I'm not sure what to do, I would like to know what the error is before going anywhere.

Is there anyone in NOVA who has a read that will work on the 8?


also, I had a TON of smoke with 30,000 on the clock.

most likely it's due to you disconnecting the ESS.
should go away in a few drive cycles

im guess autozone etc have readers that can read the errors though? I kinda just want to make sure. call me crazy. No cell before this, so I suspect you guys are correct unless for some reason my cat is clogged or something now.
