You can read basic reasons for SEL light with the left hand control knob: use it to see "check status" in the dash, icons and error codes will appear. You can gather ccid codes which are a bit more precise by pressing longer on the button over a particular error icon. With CCID codes, you can have more insight. A proper computer reading is better though.
Thanks man. I did try to check it through the left hand control knob but it didn't really tell me anything. I probably wasn't doing something right. I'll try holding the button down longer to see if it will give me some better info.
