Mine doesn't light up? I turn the ignition to "on" and most if not all of the lights light up. All except for "check engine".

Isn't it suppose to light up for a few seconds and then disappear?


EDIT: 06 Do not have "CEL". We have a "Service Engine Soon" light instead.

 

Not sure if the nismo is the same but this is what I could find.

 

I just ran my flashlight across the cluster and couldn't find the check engine symbol anywhere? Saw a bunch of other symbols though.

Pshift? probably for the automatics.

LOL, I must be trippin. I'll check again.

 

forgive me, but isnt that the check engine light right next to the battery light on the right side?

 

^ Yea, my cluster is missing that. I have an 06 6mt with Rear active Steer.

I see a "Key", "windshield", "set", "cruise", "RAS", "battery", "Left arrow, Right arrow", Battery, "service light", "P Shift", "airbags, seat belt, door, and "oil".

No check engine.

Can someone check their car real quick?

 

ok jibbs, its 2:50 am for me but i just went outside and checked my car
i have a 03 5at and my check engine light is on the top right of the gauges, right next to the battery light. i think yours is the one above the vdc light, it just doesnt say service engine soon on it

 

Thanks man. Something is definitely wrong with my car. The check engine doesn't light up, and I don't see that 'symbol' anywhere.

Right above the VDC light is the red air bag lights.

I guess I'll ask Infinti to take a look when I take it in for the airbag recall. And get some sleep man. lol.

 

you will see when it comes on. lol

 

I think you do

 

It's suppose to turn on when you turn your keys right? Then it turns off? At least that's how it is on other cars.

 

when you turn the key on, the check engine light lighted up briefly just simply means it is doing self check. it went away means it is ok and if it is stay on means you are in trouble

 

jibber we don't have an official "CEL"

The "Service engine soon" is our CEL which is why you can't find it, you don't have one. Before I got a code reader I was turned away from a couple of part stores when I asked to have my codes read. They insisted that the SES light was different than a CEL and therefore wouldn't read my codes. Won't take my business to those stores anymore.

 

^ i remember that thread stackz on deck made when he wrote whats in your sig.... that was hilarious

 

Finally an answer.. Thanks man.

So if I was doing the ECU reset, the Service Engine Soon light is the one that should be blinking right?

 

Correct, glad to help.

On a lot of cars with a CEL the SES light is used more as a maintenance reminder than a trouble light.
