      That is Kilometers, but I put about 420000 on it (about 260k miles) on the original engine and trans before I wrecked the truck. It was fully loaded with the tan interior, no cracks in the dash. Ran like the day it was new. I saved most of the engine parts and they're now in another truck.

      Disconnect the battery for a while. Should reset it. But these things also don't store codes, so when the problem is gone they'll go away after a little bit.

      izzy s 98 is a funny year. Most 98s won't do it. You can buy a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle on Amazon for around 25 dollars, that connects to your phone and allows you to do all sorts of diagnostics. They work quite well.
