Asked by Legacy_2321 Mar 01, 2017 at 10:22 AM about the 2004 Dodge Sprinter Passenger 2500 High Roof 158 WB RWD

Actron and Memoscan scanners can't always read codes for certain diesels (mainly Mercedes and Chrysler) or vehicles with weights of 8500 lbs, as those vehicles are exempt from OBDII regulations. Those vehicles require a scan tool with enhanced capabilities. Actron used to have a note on their site about this. You'll have to check around if you have the right protocol, tool, or multiplex cable to communicate with your Sprinter van.
