I got the engine bay all back together last night save the hose from the expansion tank to the pipe on the back of the motor and decided to start her up. After a few false starts while fuel pressure came up, she fired right up and idled beautifully.

Nonetheless, the Service light is on, and the CEL illuminated after a second or two of running. Both lights were on prior to dismantling, so no surprise there. I am assuming the CEL is still angry about the old transmission malfunction...

I used the demo version of VOL-FCR to pull the codes from it way back when and was thinking about purchasing it to reset those lights... it's either a $200 software purchase or a $140 trip to the shop to have them do it, and I'd rather have the tool when it's over. My only question is whether there is some other software or device which which will reset both OBDII and drivetrain and service codes? I am willing to spend a bit more, because frankly VOL-FCR doesn't exactly impress, and I guess it's very limited in terms of models it supports...
