Mike - be sure to specify a very low wattage bulb - such as an instrument panel
bulb (< 1 watt). Better yet would be two different color LEDs connected opposite
polarity to each other with the appropriate dropping resistor. If you draw to
much power from the ECU you could destroy it.

Even better still would be to enable the in-dash "MIL" or "Check Engine Light".
If you do this, all you need to read codes is a jumper wire.
