(240) Check engine light does not turn on at all.

Hi folks,

Something odd is occuring with my dad's 240. I did some Googling, but wasn't able to find an answer. I'm hoping I've brought my question to the right forum. =)

When he starts the car, the Check Engine lamp normally lights up, and then goes off. Recently, *the lamp does not light up at all*. The mechanic replaced the actual lamp, but the Check Engine light still does not work.

What are common reasons why the Check Engine light won't work? What can we do to resolve this?

Thanks in advance for your advice! Fre

If the bulb is not burned out, then maybe there's a bad connection between the bulb and the computer. This includes the connection from bulb to circuit board, circuit board and harness etc. If that doesn't fix it, the only other thing it can be is the computer itself. I think this wire is also connected to the ignition control unit. Hopefully it's just a bad bulb, or the new one was not installed correctly.
