Default I have an engine light on my dash but no code...

Any idea why there isn't a code appearing? I just had Long Tubes and an Off road H pipe installed. Oh and 3.73 gears. Let me know what you think...thanks!!

I don't think I can. It's just a little light that looks like an engine that's lit up. When I go to the message center...there's nothing there that says Check Engine or any codes.

You may need a special tool to read codes from the ecu

Did you try to read the code with your tuner at all? Its probably due to your new long tubes. The engine light will take a few miles to come on because the computer has to gather enough info about a problem before it will trip the light. Also, it may take some more time before the computer will give a code because it has not fully diagnosed the problem yet. If this is the case the code p1000 should come up (testing imcomplete).

Thanks everyone. I'm going to be in Europe for the next 3 weeks...but when I get back, I'll make sure to get a custome dyno tune for my new parts. Take care!
