Check Engine Light not working
My CEL isnt working. At all.
I replaced the bulb, cleaned the contacts. It wont come on.
The shop tells me Im getting a engine code 71, but I cant verify it. Is there any other way to pull the codes???
EDIT:
Truck is a 87 4x4 22r.

yeah they have an ecu mainly for emissions and spark control
guide I have says the 22r ecu does not report diagnostic codes so that could explain the CEL issue.
so ask the shop how they know what the code is
but it's possible something's amiss... code 71 is EGR malfunction

If you truly have a 22R I can't help, but the 22RE check engine light derives its power from the engine fuse I believe, so see if it has 12 volts on it all the time. The EFI computer send a ground when it activates the check engine light. If you have no vacuum, to the EGR trace the vacuum diagram and see where the vacuum stops. The EGR solenoid may be bad.

Page 196 to 199 on the FSM , shows the test procedure for the ECU, you will need a voltmeter, 2 safety pins, and a laptop or printer, to bring the PDF out tot he truck to follow the directions. Thats for the EFI system, yours should be somewhere arround 180.
BTW, I just had the exact same issue on my truck... turned out the main EFI fuse (15amp) was partially blown, so instead of being dead, it allowed 1.16volts through, instead of 12v.... causing all types of funky issues/results..
