Since you apparently haven't done much research on the site before posting your all caps, emergency request for help, I will tell you a couple things about your truck . . .

The check engine light is a reminder ONLY for EGR service. It comes on at 60k, then at 90k.

Even if you have a fuel injected truck, and it isn't likely you do, there isn't an OBD II compliant data port to interface. OBD II wasn't introduced until 1996.

So maybe you will relax a little and drop the caps when you post next time, ok?

Clean your EGR valve, and someone might link you to the post regarding the wires you need to swap under the dash to get the light to go out.

B series up to 1993 are not OBD supported systems, so you're out of luck connecting a scanner to it.

Pretty much anything I was going to say was already said by MazdaTweaker above.


These are Mazda trucks, not rocket science. Problems are pretty easy to figure out on them.

haha thats what i thought so the only thing your check engine light is for is the egr. (that i didnt know)

OBD 1 was 1993-1995
OBD II is post 1995.

The "scan" feature on these trucks is the small green one port wire on the passenger side firewall.Ground it with a paper clip or other similar wire,turn ignition to "on position" and check engine lite will flash short-long code. Need a Maz shop manual to decipher codes however. BJ

you could just make your own tester. did it on a friends 87 rx7. just get some wires together and connect them to a light then you get that weird morse code kinda flashes and you research online to find out whats wrong. that way your not running around the truck to see inside, its alright there. pretty simple stuff.
