The CEL below the odometer went off last week for no reason, and when I checked the codes, I got no feedback (no fault codes)... Now it seems to have gone off again. I wonder if my computer is going?
What I mean is, aside from the computer in the center dash, there is a "CHECK" light by the odometer, and there is also a "CHECK ENGINE" light there as well. What you probably saw was the CHECK light, not the CEL, which is why you dn't have any codes showing.
