[ale] OT: check light diagnostic tool

[Geoffrey Myers]

Thanks for the offer, but I figured I'd buy one. Also, the blinking is not anything steady, but random. It'll come on for a couple seconds, then go off. It might not do it again for minutes or hours. Might not do it again for days.

Also, it doesn't stay on. Has been blinking on and off for a couple of months. Just recently it has been coming on more regularly, hence the inquiry. I'll check my local auto parts stores.

GM vehicles, for example, will blink the MIL when the engine is actively and frequently misfiring, to alert the user to the fact that they should really ease up on or cease use of the engine entirely.)
