Have you unplugged the battery and let it set for 10 min or so and then plugged it back up sine you installed the MILS?
I haven't checked for codes, its a 2000 gt, I do unplug it but didn't let it sit for 10 or so minutes. I did unplug the battery and the check engine light went away. But came back...

there is a way to check it w/o going to the auto store. hold down the reset button on the odo for a few seconds, then continue holding it, and turn the key to on (not cranked), you should see the gages sweep, now you can hit the reset button to scroll through a number of things, such as a check of the dash lights, digital speedo and rpm, and the dtc codes

i havent figured out why that happens, unless that feature wont read every code. Mine did the same where it said none, even though I know of one that should be there constantly.
Okay I think i figured it out......
i lifted my car up, disconnected the battery, and went and disconnected the MIL eliminators, went to plug them back in and they snapped into the socket, I didn't do that before....
So i am thinking the MILS weren't fully connected, so a the check engine light came on. I read somewhere that the the CEL can come on and not read any codes becuase there may be something wrong with the electrical (?). So anyways, connected all up RIGHT, drove it around the block and no codes so far...
