I agree - the Scangauge I have does record and clear codes but seems to be the higher level codes rather than sub codes. It does record "pending" codes as well.

Mine indicated a general EGR fault and could clear it and later when I disconnected the connector it did record a passenger side EGR code and cleared it.

I bought the scangauge to provide additional information to that provided by the inbuilt car computer but it seems to work well for basic codes as well. $160 well spent.

The check engine light came back three times today - the first was cleared by removing the EGR connector and reconnecting, the second cleared itself and the third by just jiggling the EGR connector.

So is clearly a connector issue - either a dry joint in the plug or socket or poor connection. I will close up some of the female connectors in the plug and see what happens.

A PITA.
