Looking at pg 10 of the manual it is the "Service engine soon" ... the yellow one with the profile of an engine. Its stays lit solid, not blinking.
Rich Brooks installed it before this year's Woodward Dream Cruise August 15-17. It's an Optima red top, but I can't see a date on it and unless you think I should I don't want to take it apart / take it out yet if that's going to clear the code(s) before I can see what they are. The battery was not on a tender Aug 15-20 while I was in Detroit and then North Carolina, then I put it back on tender the night of Aug 20. I've tested the battery twice over the past few days, with it disconnected from its tender: 1) My multimeter reads it at 12.75 volts, and 2) My Foxwell BT705 battery tester reads it at 12.83 volts, and with the tester set to set to 1000 CA a battery test results in "Good Battery".
I ordered an Innova 3100RS today; should be here tomorrow; thanks AMZN! I'm glad to hear it reads your Lincoln and F150, just in case my Ancel just doesn't like Fords for some silly reason.
I'm hesitant to try one that requires a phone connection since I'm already having issues reading the code(s) with a scanner that doesn't even bring another device connection into the mix. Any other time, a small OBD device that pops in and can be read right on your phone, heck yeah that sounds nice and convenient.
Might try one of those if the Innova that's arriving tomorrow doesn't find any codes. Thanks!
I choose A. The light DOES come on with the engine running ... and stays on. I'm staring at a yellow "Service engine soon" light the entire time driving and just idling in my garage.
I just prefer to deal with it here in my garage.
OK, thanks ... Since the new Innova scanner is arriving today, I'll try to read codes and if it doesn't find any I'll replace the battery. Thank you.
Same here: My fuel filler flap broke earlier this year, which of course triggered the CEL and it stayed on full time until Rich replaced the filler neck in July. Once I picked the car up from him in Detroit there was no CEL for the 3 days driving around Detroit during Woodward, nor the additional 1-day drive two days later on the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC. But the first time I drove the car a couple weeks after being back home in FL the CEL came on about 8 miles into my drive, and it stayed on the rest of that drive and has been on ever since, albeit only here in my garage as I haven't driven it since the CEL came on.
