No special sequence as far as I know, though I didn't actually witness the tests. I did call to let the quick lube place know that another place was able to read it, they didn't seem particularly concerned. I'm no stranger to the laundry list of TLC required for these big princesses. I've printed many pages from the DIY section of this site, and my adventure so far has included rear hatch struts, battery, blower motor, front / rear / transfer / transmission fluids, aluminum coolant pipe kit, cardan shaft, plugs, coil packs, valve cover gaskets, high and low horns, torque arm, and most recently, a tank vent valve. It seems like a lot all together, but over the 5 years, and 60,000 miles we've logged, it's never left us stranded. Good luck!

Hey Sid, I'm also in TX, and my advice would be to try again at a different place. Three years ago I took my 06 CTT to a quick lube place that's close to home. Worked perfectly, got my inspection. A year later, I went back to the same place and they couldn't seem to read the OBD port, tried for quite a while and gave up. I drove home and plugged in to the durametric, everything was working fine. Went back, still no luck. Drove to Firestone service center, they were able to communicate with no problems, and completed the inspection. Fast forward one more year and I thought I'd give quick lube place another shot. Ended up with the same situation, couldn't communicate. Packed up and headed back to Firestone where they were again able to communicate with no problems, and completed the inspection. Since the quick lube place does inspections all day long, I suspect the problem may be "between the keyboard and the chair" Cheers,
