Ok so I know the CEL comes on all the time.

So is there any way to tell when your car is throwing you an engine code?

When you first click the car on before you turn it on will it still send you codes you need to know about if there is a problem with your car???

 

i'm very interested in this as well. I always wanted to know what made the 95-96 so different from 97-99. Why cel light went on. Was it some connection with ecu and tranny or ecu and engine? if so if i had a 96 tranny in my 97 max, would i still get engine light?

 

It's just an emissions difference guys. If you are that worried about checking your codes just check them once a week or whatever it takes like 2 minutes.

 

isnt it the ob1 vs ob2 thing that sets off the codes? i believe their is no way to check
