If nothing came up when you scanned for faults in ISTA, AND you have a CEL, that is very weird. Take a screenshot of the ECU tree diagram.

If not just wait another day and sometimes I have seen some CEL clear by themselves.

I agree. The diagram tree is all green, if I remember correctly. Maybe the old school way of disconnecting the battery will work? CEL has been on for a while after I reverted back to stock.

I can scan it again tonight to see what's up though

@EALm4 , no harm in disconnecting the -ve battery post and checking. But if the ECU tree is still all green and no faults registered in ISTA, and you still have the CEL, it's very peculiar... I wonder if there's a specific ISTA procedure to clear them. I'll look tonight.

Update: I found one document on Malfunction Indicator Lamp (aka CEL) and in there it kinda mentions that it is possible for it to be lit with fault status, but nothing on how to clear.

One thing to try, is the ISTA "OBD Scan Tool", maybe it may display something ?

Pulled the battery and let it sit for 2 min and it was gone
