My CEL came on about 1000 miles ago, somewhere around 34,000. I have to take Little Mack in for a recall I've been putting off for months and I also have to get my transmission/odometer calibrated for the bigger tires. I stopped by Advance Auto Parts and plugged their generic computer in but it didn't read any codes. Before I get bent over at the stealership, anybody have any ideas on what I should expect?
Also, where the heck can I find a cool diesel theme tire cover?

If you can do the ignition key trick the instrument cluster will display the error codes.

To do the key trick do an on-off-on-off-on-off cycle and it will beep and display a code one at a time where your ODO sits.

If on-off cycle doesn't work, try off-ACC-off-ACC-off-ACC.

You have to shift fast between the positions, so you will feel like you raped your ignition switch.

Note that it might take more than 3 on-off or off-ACC cycles to display codes. Maybe even up to 5 cycles...don't worry, you will know for sure when you did it right.

Some with newer than an 05 have had problems with this little trick, and some haven't. Personally I think all KJs can do it, but some owners are not switching fast enough between on and off.

There is a video showing how to do it on the forums here, try a search for it and you might get lucky.

It seems that feature is disabled on the '06's though.

Just spoke with the stealership and the CEL was the airflow sensor and EGR valve---covered under warranty!
Little Mack went into limp mode last week (third time in 35,000 miles) so I mentioned that as well and they said they ran a software update on the tranny. I wonder if the oiled air filter crapped out my airflow sensor. The CEL came on within a few days of my last oiling. I put a paper filter in and I might just leave it that way. I never saw any increased performance or economy with the Proguard air filter. They never made any outrageous claims so I guess I am not disappointed. I guess I will go back through the LOST forums and read up on the EGR workaround. Sigh...
