Check Engine Light

Hey guys,

Bit of a silly question here but should my check engine light be lit up when my key is in the 'on' position?

Yes.

It wont light up because you don't have a check engine light. They only came in around late 2003-04 for the NB's

Wow that seems strange...and the 01's didn't come with obdII either did they?

OBDII didn't come in until the NB8C for MY03 (Sept 02 build onwards).

All the cream gauges are the same, i.e spot the yell cel in the speedo. Picture credit to Lokiel.

That's either a jdm cluster or a nb8c cluster

The Australian 01/02 8b didn't have a cel

On a similar topic....

The NB8Bs also came with the fog light "On" indicator in the dash, even for Australian models. But they were never used on Australian delivered cars.

Teckno did a great write-up on how to wire it up and make it functional.
