Here's why:
* EGR systems were not commonly found in vehicles until the mid-1980s. Your 1985 Mighty Max would have been produced before EGR systems were widely implemented.
* Early vehicles did not have electronic check engine lights. Diagnostic systems were much simpler, and problems were usually detected through visual inspection, engine sounds, or other mechanical means.
If you're seeing a warning light in your Mighty Max, it's likely a different indicator:
* Oil pressure light: This is a serious warning. If it's on, stop driving immediately and investigate the cause.
* Generator/Alternator light: This indicates a charging issue and requires attention.
* Temperature gauge: A rising temperature gauge indicates overheating.
To troubleshoot any warning lights in your 1985 Mighty Max:
1. Consult your owner's manual: It should provide information about the various warning lights on your dashboard.
2. Take your vehicle to a reputable mechanic: They can diagnose the problem and make necessary repairs.
Remember:
* Do not attempt to reset any warning lights without professional assistance. Doing so can mask serious problems and lead to further damage.
* Be aware of potential safety hazards: If you're experiencing engine problems, it's best to avoid driving your vehicle until it's been inspected and repaired.
