Intermittent codes are not lighted until it becomes a "hard" code. So sometimes even if the Check Engine Light is not lighted and there are issues with a car, we suggest that it be scanned too.

yes you can have a pending code before the CEl will come on, like a P0430 can be pending before the light turns on

I had a code for fuel pump low voltage. Nothing wrong. I just pulled the fuse for the fuel pump to do a new fuel filter.

I was suprised when I found a code and no CEL but it happens.
