Noob ? on cell's

[KayGT]

So when do you know and how do u read the "cells"......is it when the check engine light goes on or its check some other way.....if check engine light is off does that mean i could still have lots of engine problems cuz i got sqeeks n ticks n tocks.

ummmm its CEL Check engine light. You need a special harness and computer program to read it. Take it to your dealer, if your still under warranty they will tell whats wrong.

 

 

What are your mods? how many miles?

Bad noises may or may not be indicative enough of a problem which can cause your car to throw a CEL ( Check Engine Light" - "CEL," not "cell" ).

 

With OBD-II vehicles, you "pull" or "read" the CEL using some type of scantool, which plugs into the OBD-II port, and obtains the CEL-related code from the car's computer.

 

Most AutoZone stores will have a scantool, and they'll "pull" the code for you.

 

You can only pull/read a CEL if your CEL is lit.

there is a way to get the code to display onthe dash LCD readout (where the trip odometer is)
