Im sorry us feeble mortals cannot directly read from your ECU what your check engine light is for.

go to ur local autozone or somewhere where they can read cel codes for free.

the CEL usually comes on when your about to blow ur motor.... IM jk

UPDATE so i checked the Ecu for the CEL issue.. It turns out to be a p0401; EGR insufficient flow issue. I dont know what to do now? Have anyone had this issue before? i heard there was a recall for this...Should i get this fix? Thanks

Good lord take it to the dealership

[superskaterxes]

you need to clean your EGR. but by the sound of your post it doesent sound like your very tool friendly

[taf0422]

I would just take the test pipe off and take it up to the dealer and have them fix it for you...Theres a write up around here some where..I guy just did his and took pictures.

But..You're not modded heavily so just take it in

[Its2realj]

So i called the dealer today to see if the issue was covered under warranty. It turns out that it is not..since its a 3 year/36000 mile covered. So now i am screwed....My options are basically to pay for the dealer to fix it or leave it as it is? does anyone know if this is a serious issue?

[bova80]

someone just posted up a how to on fixing this issue, just need to clean our your egr. but it doesn't seem that you are up to it based off your knowledge so its probably best you let the dealer do it.

Don't the 07 mazdaspeeds have a 5yr 60K powertrain warranty?

[06Speed6]

No the 2006 is ~3yr/45,000 and the 2007 is 3yr/36,000 miles. Thats why I bought a 2006.

wow! i feel a whole lot worst after finding out the 06 had 45k coverage. Should of bought a 06 instead... mazda ftl this time.

umm wrong 07 is 5yr/60k miles powertrain. however you p0401 is the code i just got. but im guessing the autozone scan tool is using generic description. on my scan tool it was evap flow and i took it in under warranty and replaced a sticking purge valve. easily something you could do youself, just double check on the mazda code number description 1st
