Yes, a code or codes may still be stored in the computer with no CEL lit.

What does the CEL code reveal when pulled?

Just a number. You'll need to find out what the number(s) is/are and you can check online what the code means. Or you can come back here and post it up and we can help yah out.

I thought the light was associated with the emission control?????????

Not always. It always tells you that something is amiss with the engine, etc. but you need to pull the code(s) to find out exactly what is wrong.

Thanks for your input! This is an awesome site!

You're welcome!
