Yes seller turned it off. Always hook up a scanner that shows if monitors are complete. Saved a family member a bad buy a few years ago when I discovered the seller turned the CEL off. I told the seller he turned the CEL off. I walked away. Seller tried to get me to buy it for a reduced price after my discovery.
