Thanks for getting back to me Mike.
I've checked the archives and have never seen a 3 digit engine code
response. (Unless I'm looking in the wrong place). I have noticed that
when it is dark outside and I start my truck up the light behind the airbag
"symbol" on the dash is very dim before I turn the dash lights on. This
can't be to important, but it is noticeable.
Thanks again
Jay
