how can I check if my cel isnt burnt out? it doesnt go on when i just turn the key to the 2nd 'on' position... but not all the lights do so I figured it was normal. Is the Cel supposed to come on?
any 4th gen guys?

 

the CEL will come on momentarily when you turn the key. It will also come on if you jump the service connector under the dash.

and, it will also come on if you, say, unplug the O2 sensor

edit: do you have a swap done?

 

that is so damn wierd cause it never comes on in any of those conditions... or maybe i should just tripple check that...
no i dont have a swap done, would that affect anything?

 

yeah - shady shops will pull out the CEL on their customers cars after a swap, if they can't get something right.

Happens a lot.

 

hmmm that aint cool...
and I do remember seeing some hacked off wires in my engine bay a LONG time ago, Ive tried to find them again to see what they are for but couldnt find them again.
Now I'm really paranoid... is it hard to replace that light bulb?
