Emissions Idiot Lights

In regards to your post about that small box under the instrument
panel that shut off the "emmissions light" when you unplugged it....

Did you ever find out if unplugging it caused any problems to your
jeep..? Or did the engine run fine even after you unplugged it?

Just asking because I have a 1988 Jeep Comanche that has an emissions
light that won't go out.. and the mechanics won't give me a passing
sticker until that light is out.

If unplugging that box doesn't cause any problems.. i'd like to unplug
it so I can pass my inspection.

Please let me know.

Thanks! =)

 

1988 Comanche didn't have a malfunction lamp. It did have an emission
maintenance reminder lamp. In California, the reminder lamp is not
part of a smog inspection, and will not (shouldn't, anyway) cause an
inspection failure if it's on.

If they insist the light must be off, then unplugging the box (timer)
will do the trick, and will have no other affect on the vehicle.
