Hi,
a V8 driver from LA has reported a problem with DOT technical check 
(whatever's the right name for that in California) 'cause the engine 
check symbol isn't enlighted when the ignition is turned on. The tester 
is absolutely sure that there has to be an engine check control in the 
instrument cluster. I've checked against the US repair manual and 
indeed, it seems to be wired. In Europe the engine check symbol is 
inactive respectively not wired.
Could anybody of you please provide a photo to me showing - or showing 
not - that ECE symbol in the cluster respectively could you tell me if 
you have this ECE (or ECU) check light in the cluster at all or only in 
the Californian version or just in some production years?
Thanks
Bastian
