CEL / SES doesn't = emissions component failure. If something is indeed wrong, it's a waiting game till the light is back on.

how's that? every single code off the obdII port is emissions related among the most common, O2 sensor faults, MAF faults, cam angle sensors and the list goes on. Each one of those will affect a/f ratio spark AND ignition timing. Time to hit the books buddy and listen to OG HTtech guy.. u're slacking... ;)

All codes can be read from the OBII port and most are emissions related, but there are proprietary systems in more advanced engines that also use the CEL to output codes for failure of those systems...ie. secondary intake butterfly components, vtaack of course ;), etc.
