[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 1022988, member: 69241"] CEL is abbreviation for the Check Engine Light that's on the dashboard. After you "read" the codes with the scan tool you can reset, or clear the CEL. By the way, you can purchase a basic scan tool for not a whole lot of money, say $20-30. See Amazon for some choices. On Board Diagnostics (or OBDII) have been mandated since 1996 model year, so it's very handy to have a scan tool of your own. I've opted for one called Blue Driver, which hooks up via Bluetooth to a smart phone or tablet. You can see videos on YouTube of scan tool techniques. [/QUOTE]
