What code would be thrown for a big exhaust leak? I dont think any....

If you wanna check the function of your CEL, pull your MAF connector off, when I pul mine off to clean it throws a code for 20 miles or so after I clean it then goes away.

Your CEL should also illuminate when you start the car briefly, to verify the bulb works
