I have a 3rd Gen Japan version and it seems that they do not have an engine light, so I wonder of someone know hows to setup something to read the codes.

 

I don't know if it's the same on J-spec cars, but try this.

the problem is that the Jap versions do not have check engine light.

 

never heard of that, interesting. so, no chk engine light comes on when you turn on the ignition. I wonder why they don't have it.

 

Because they dont break down over there. They have car smart people with less hassle on emissions....lol..but on a seriouse note I have no idea. Check other mazda JDM cars to see if they have check engine lights

 

i have a series 5 jap import, no check engine light either. the rotor shops can check the codes with a special checker apparantly, so maybe the series 4 way of checking could work?

I have a 1992 Japanese Spec R1.

All JDM Fd's have no check engine loght.

If you want to know more info send me a pm.

 

Have the same problem, no check engine light.
have stripped the dash to check if bulb was fused ,no luck .Apparently jap spec fd's dont have check lights.
Have a 93 Black EFINI R1.

 

This must be Mazda Japan's way of forcing people to come in for service every 6 months or so

 

My 89 vert. is an import and also has no engine check light ,so has any one figured out a way to see if there are any fault codes other than going to a Mazda dealer

 

You should ask in the 2nd Gen section, but for the 3rd Gen:

Japan Versions do have a light for codes the japan version uses the heat light, if you have a right hand drive car its the middle light to the left of the steering wheel. i live in japan and own a FD. Japaneese do this to not waste space.
