The check engine light is still on because the self test you ran can only check the HEC module, not the powertrain control module. The only way to read a check engine light code is to connect a scan tool to diagnostic port. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>4'd stang</b> <br /><small>Member # 2466</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,10,14,22,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I brought it to Jeff's shop and he had a datalogger.
