MasterFirst thing to check is ALL the fuses and then the CEL bulb. I do Emissions Diagnosis in CA. You will have to remove your cluster to get access to the bulb which involves removing some panels etc, but it is not too hard to do.
Don't be surprised if when you replace the bulb that it stays on solid, because most times when the CEL bulb burns out, it is because it was on due to a code being there for awhile.Flag ThisLike | 3 people like this3 -

Also when we put the automotive electrical tester to the led it lights up but when we remove it it goes off. i'm thinking it's a grounding issue but not sure.
