No check engine light. that's my "lean burn indicator" / happy light. I'm on a jdm p2j series ECU. they should all have an "econo (lean burn)" light. I think it's at pin a30, and I'm sure it's a switched ground. I bring SWITCHED 12V POWER to one side of the bulb, and pin a 30 to the other side of the bulb. here's a shot with KEY ON, ENGINE OFF:

EDIT: When I said "they", I meant the p2j family of ecu's but - I'm not totally sure




my "happy light / econo light" Is above 4500 rpm, Check engine light is above 5500 rpm. I hate seeing the check engine light because you are right, check engine light = no lean burn!
