Does bypassing the NSS on 97+ XJs with the AW4 do bad things to the computer?
I just bought a 98/4.0/AW4. It was raining a few days ago and decided not to start when I first turned the key. I played with the gear shift a little bit, moving it to N then back to P, and it finally started. This is exactly what my 94 would do before I bypassed the NSS. So I decided to do the same and bypass the NSS on the 98. Now, after bypassing the NSS, my check engine light is on. Is the computer not happy with me bypassing the NSS?
On a related note, is it possible to check the codes on a 98 without a code reader?
Thanks,
William Crawley
