BDII Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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? Need forum help?

TSiWRX Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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. ---- Edit - Doh! Two minutes slow!
