It never ceases to amaze me that with all of the screens and modern technology in cars these days, they still can't display a simple error code on the screen.

But then people wouldn't panic and go to the dealer.

I'm baffled by this too. Ag machinery has displayed trouble code numbers and a description of what is wrong for over a decade now. I understand older cars that don't have screens but anything with a screen should have the code displayed with a description.

This is one thing Elon has done right with Tesla. The car shows you the errors. You can schedule service right from the Tesla app. Repair updates are decent w/o having to constantly call the service advisor, and if you want to do your own repairs, the factory service manuals are all available for free. No hourly fees, no 1st/3rd party scan tools, just easy to access technical info.

I've jumped through too many hoops with different manufacturers to get access to dealer repair info. They should all make it as easy as Tesla.

I have a 2014 F150...
Couple years ago I had an aftermarket Alpine head unit installed to get an 8in screen with Android Auto etc. That head unit will let me read the code associated with a CEL.

But yes, you're absolutely correct!

HEPA filter is much more dense/restricted and forces the system work harder. Skip HEPA unless system was designed for it. Also get a code reader from AMZN, they are cheap.
