I'm sure there are several discussions here about scanner capabilities.

Most of the basic one's won't pull anything other than basic "P" codes. Would't the park brake be a "B" code?

Yeah, b1352 is "key in circuit failure."....relates to a loose ignition switch and will set off a park brake light.....i have it intermittently

Re: Duralast batteries - From other comments on the forum, I'm not overly impressed by them. And from another forum I frequent (old Ford pickups), Autozone's Duralast starter relays are VERY problematic. No matter how wonderful the warranty may be, I'd recommend trying another brand of battery. Myself, I am very partial to NAPA Premium.

Yeah Its dropping to 12.31 volts after I take it off the charger for a while or after driving it for half an hour and letting it settle.. I think I'll try a different brand of battery next time. They had one that is a AGM battery for about $200 Its 40 bucks more but I don't know if it'll be any better for this car or not.
Thanks.
