Default OBD II reader question....

I know that the reader functions when the check engine light comes on...but does it also display a message or code without having the check engine light on????

in summary does the obd 2 reader is able to read/detect other problems on a car that are not related with the check engine light???

thanks!

The most basic readers do not, they only read codes that the ECU is throwing.
