S8 Onboard Diagnostics help

Hi does anybody know if you can see the fault codes without usin a OBD scaner (using a LED test light instead) on a series 8.

Also are the fault codes on a S8 the same as S6 S7.

Cheers. Caleb

Is the S8 ODB?

Have you checked the FSM?

In that case, go the 3rd gen FAQ thread. It is the very first thread stickied in this forum and also in the 3rd gen sub forum.
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/
Scroll down to the E section and follow the link.

That should get you started.
