Default 2001 Dakota Sport 4Cyl 5 Spd - Check Engine Light

Hey guys. I got a check engine light on yesterday and I checked the oil, coolant etc and the gas cap and nothing is out of order.

I tried to pull codes and got nothing. Just the odometer going in swirls then back to its normal odometer reading.

I pulled the negative battery cable to clear the check engine light and then put the cable back on. The check engine light is still on though.

The truck runs fine. Good charging strength, clean battery cables & connections, clean air filter, good oil level and pressure and the coolant level is good and the temp is normal.

This is puzzling me. Any thoughts? Dave
