do they allow you to 'test' the light ?
or check the MIL STATUS bit ?

nope...how are you pulling the codes ?

Yeah, crumm is right, I am checking the DCT's with the SCT.

Heres the scenario, had a good storm two days ago and I knew the roads would be bad so I drove the PSD to work and rested the mighty Intrepid. Ran fine out and back (185+ miles) then parked it in the driveway for two days.

Got in it to start it this morning to make an errand run across town. It was pretty cold this morning (single digits) so I let the glow plugs cycle and then started it, came in the house while it warmed up for about 10 minutes. Went back outside to get in and leave and the SES light was on, shut it down and started it back up to see if light would go out. No dice on that trick so I hooked up the SCT and it said no codes present:confused: . Unhooked the SCT and started it back up, still had the SES light on.:watchout I drove it to the hardware store and shut it off, started it back up and still had SES. I hooked the SCT back up and still had no code present so I went ahead and just cleared the non-existent code anyways, went into hardware store and came back out to go home, started truck with no SES light present.:dizzy

FDDTS - HPOP Connector Bracket

NO cow patties
we chased this darn thing for almost a year and we were out of the 3/36 when it failed, so it was a 100 bux to get repaired, plus shortened a vacation, caused me to cuss outloud, get soaked in the rain, and almost trade her off for a DODGE :eek:
