I have a thread in the electrical sub-forum, but figured my problem is swap-wiring related.

Im trying to pull some codes from the ECU and I cant get the CEL to come on. The bulb is not burnt and the cluster itself is good so Ive narrowed it down to a problem in the cars wiring, somewhere. There are 2 other lights that dont come on (cruise and oil) but am not worried about these. I was told the cruise works but havent actually tried it yet, and there is an oil pressure gauge hooked up. No big deal. The one I need is the CEL...


Can anyone tell me if there is another way to pull codes w/o using the CEL

or

Is there another way to get the CEL to come on


Sorry for all the confusion

I am asking him, but figured I would post here, just incase some of you know the answer also. Im going to assume all else did fail. The light in the dash doesnt come on (even when you turn the key to ON, all the other light light up but that one). Like I have posted before, I did try going straight to the ECU. I bridged B+ and W with the test light, and e1 and te1 with a paperclip. All that happened was the test light came on solid, no blinking.

A couple other things I noticed about the diag box is; there is some sort of grease smeared inside. Is this good? And the second is the terminals themselves. Some look like (uu) while other looks like their missing the terminal or only have half of it (u).


EDIT: I just recieved a PM from him regarding the matter, and he doesnt seem to know the answer. He has never had to pull any codes.

The grease in the diagnostic box is normal. Get a picture of the terminals. I can't figure out what you mean by they are missing or only have half of it.

I don't know if it matters but I'm pretty sure you have an MR2 ECU. Some of the pin locations at the ECU may be different. I'll check when I get home tonight and I'll show you EXACTLY what you need to do.
