If you’re buying a used car, make sure to check that
the check engine light turns on when you insert the key into
the 2nd position and the dash lights up. If not, it likely
means they removed the bulb to hide a problem. Simple test that might save you a great deal.

and if it is connected to the battery light or oil pressure light?

Buy a hand held scanner.

Even going with a scanner does not mean you will get a good car.

shikena...... a friend once purchased an infinity qx4..... very clean interior, glittery exterior, engine, gear ac.. top notch.
scanner revealed only two errors which were O2 sensor related.

guess what......... the whole underneath were rusted, I mean everything.

Everytime he plied a terrible road, work must be done under, serious panel work that might take a full day..... as at today, he doesn't carry more than 1person at the back, when rain falls..... ahhhhh na to park the car use Keke drop.

similar to a married man living like a bachelor.

points to note.... wen buying a used vehicle go with a qualified techs to handle the verification

What is the price of a hand held scanner(OBD)? What are the limitations compared to the conventional scanner?
