Malfunction Indicator Light.. aka CEL ..Check Engine Light. does your system have or use a CEL ? it's nice to have. on some systems....earlier ones, you read codes by counting flashes of the CEL when you put the system in the right mode for that. On OBD-II systems..which always have a CEL .. you plug into the diagnostic tester with your code reader or software .. and see what the codes are. OBD-II codes are far more sophisticated than OBD-I ones. Considerable so. Haynes OBD-II manual is great reading.
