Check engine light and no fault codes

Hey y'all

I just replaced my thermostat housing and I drove the mini for a few days to check for any leaks. Everything looks and runs good but I did notice my CEL on this morning. Went by Advance Auto and noOBII reader. Any suggestions?

Are you sure it is the CEL and not the reduced power indicator?

Check out the Kiwi2 Bluetooth and then download the free app Torque to read your own OBII. Several apps on the market supported by this reader.

It may be a transmission code. They will not show up as engine codes unless you specify a transmission option for codes. You will need a scan tool that can access the transmission
