My CEL came on today as I was driveing but when i tested it no codes showed up... The onlything that my dash told me is that the alternator was running kinda low. Anyone know why i didnt get any codes even tho the CEL came on?

 

how did you check the code? some codes are harder to get out than others, espically if they are intermitant. I gave up and just went and bought a code reader. if this is happening a lot, or your planning a intake swap to TPI or anything, i suggest your buy one yourself. WELL worth the money in my opinion

 

I just took it checker and asked to use their code reader

 

So anyone know why I didn't get a code when the CEL came on?

 

Did you at least get code 12? If you did it correctly you should get that code.

 

Oh forgot to menchion I didn't do it myself checker did. And he said no codes came up. I bet you he did it wrong. [>:] How much do thouse things cost? I may aswell do it myself. Or can you guys show me how to do the "paper clip" thing?

 

put a paper clip in the two top right "plugs". turn the key to the on position but to not start it. It will flash the code to you. You WILL get code 12, which will apper to you as 1 flash, a pause, then 2 more flashes. then others will flash in the same fashion.

 

Each code will flash 3 times before moving on to the next code. So if you see code 12 and you see it againg that is ok. when you see it a third time then the next code stored should come up. When it starts to flash code 12 again then it is back to the begining.

 

ok thanks I'll go do that in a few

 

i got the code 32 which is an EGR failure...whats an EGR XD
