Question Question about dash lights

Re: Question about dash lights

The power light changes the shift map temporarily when the throttle is pressed hard, allowing for higher RPM shifts.

I dont believe the OBD-II cars (96-97) had power lights.

They don't. When you mash the accelerator, the car still goes into POWER mode, however there is no light to tell you that.
