engine management MIL
« on: 11 July 2010, 10:50 »
where is it?. do i have one?. ive never seen it work. i have even tried to make it work by unplugging various sensors. it didnt work when my maf failed or when my N75 failed. 
my guess is if i had one it would be in the left hand (rev counter) dial?

lol i gathered it was there mate, i was just concerned why that its never been on. perhaps its a good thing and shows that my car is relatively healthy but then i suppose if there was a serious fault and the light didnt come on i would know by the car going into limp mode.

well it not having one isn't strictly true, the icon is there but I've never had it light up for any reason at all, even when I forgot to reconnect the cam position sensor lol
