    Quick 850 question before I buy

    Hey, I’m looking into buying an 850 for my self, I’ve found one with low miles and in pretty good condition, the only thing that’s worrying me is that on the ad there’s a check(not check engine) light on, I’m not sure what it is so can someone help me out? The car is a 91 model year

    And where in Canada are you located? If BC I may know the car... especially if it is in Langley and is black.

    It’s on the right warning label cluster, very left coloum, and on top, I would send a picture but I’m not sure to ad one, the warning light has a red background and has yellow letters and it just says check

    That is a warning message from the MID unit - not from the engine systems - more information regarding these warnings here:
