How do I see if my car is throwing any trouble codes? I don't know if the previous owner used MIL eliminators or if he pulled a fuse or something to turn off the check engine lamp. My "Service Engine Soon" doesn't illuminate when I start the car, and I haven't been able to get it to light up at all. If any of you guys know what's going on, please help.

Isnt that thing still under factory warranty? If not go to AutoZone, they do free OBD II scans. Have you gone to the www.Mach1registry.com yet? |

Yeah it's still under factory warranty. I'll have to call the dealer in the morning and see what they say.

I crawled around under the car and found out that the previous dumbass that owned the car didn't hook the secondaries back up. This means that either my car has a custom tune with the secondary 02 sensors turned off and I didn't know about it, or he pulled a fuse or bulb to keep the check engine light from coming on.  |

Did you plug it in to see if you get a code?

I don't have anything to check that with.

All the fuses appear to be in order?
I doubt that he pulled the bulb from behind the guages.

I dug into it today and pulled the cluster and it turns out the previous owner pulled the bulb. Needless to say I picked up some MIL eliminators and O2 extensions. Now I'll have to go get the DTC's reset and see if it throws O2 codes again. It shouldn't.

Guess I was wrong. hehe "Pesky light, I'll fix you!"
I'm just used to being able to delete annoyance codes and the other codes usually deserve attention.

I installed the MIL eliminators today and had AutoZone clear my DTCs for me. That took care of that issue. Now I have to put the stock 3.55s back in. These 4.10s feel great down low, but the top end and gas mileage are lacking.
