Default 'check engine" light

Advice please!!

Have searched this secton for an answer, but to no avail. Installied a Skip Shift Eliminator and another Clutch, and for some reason that I cannot fathom, the "check engine light" has come on. However, no codes are flashing. Additionally, after a few miles of driving the speedometer / odometer have quit as well. Yes, the drive train was dropped (to the floor) with everything disconnected. Any clues?????

Any hint would help, and thanks.

Regards, GRT

No sure what you mean by no codes are flashing, they just don't appear automatically.
If the CE light is on then there should be codes, on the DIC controls press and hold options and then press Fuel 4 times while still holding the options button you must do this quickly. A message will appear saying "Diagonstics" then it will automatically read off the codes.

Thanks for your quick reply Stephen.

By "no codes flashing" I meant that no codes showed up on the computer readout beneath the speedometer. I shall try your recommendation.

Hi Bill,

Nice to hear from you again! (recent advice on c6 shocks) The CEL is on steady. When it is turned off, it comes back on within a short time. Thanks.

Thanks, GRT
