I read somewhere on this board that the SES light should come on if the engine stalls, but mine never does. It's a '90 350 TPI IROC, if that helps any. Is the ECM screwed if it doesn't come on? Thanks guys.

 

Does it come on when you first turn the key to the "on" position?? (not cranking)

If not, the bulb might be missing.

I've seen that when the light keeps coming on, some people will not pay to fix the problem, they just pull the bulb.

Yeah, it comes on then and it flashes a 12 when I jumper A&B terminals too. Just not when it stalls. Should it? Thanks man.

 

Mine works correctly and when it used to stall the light didn't come on. I'm not sure if it's supposed to though. My guess would be no.

 

All my lights come on when the car stalls

 

I wonder if my ECM is screwed up?

 

the only time my ses come's on when my car stalls is if it is throwing a code, if the problem doesnt throw a code the light doesnt come on, thats on my 89' RS
