service light
 

i just got my engine detailed and the service light wont go off. I am wondering wat the problem could be, i first thought there was water in the system but that wasnt it, i disconnected the battery adn plugged it in again to reboot the computer and yet it still came on. Im not sure what to do, other than taking it to a professional.

Money on o2 sensor

Give it a few days to see if it goes away. Some water may have gotten some where.

yopu could go to ure local parts store and they should have a scan tool to read ure what the code is

anytime you get a light (that you don't know exactly what caused it) get it scanned, cleaning the engine should not set a code

If you have a laptop you can download a program to check it yourself since if I remeber correctly your car is a 95. If so you need a OBD-1 code reader which some shops don't have- I know my local Autozone doesn't at least.

Its nice havin my laptop with me- Its great to be able to monitor all my sensor readings in real-time as I am driving so I can make sure nothin is going to far out of whack!!

I believe there is a way to cross a couple wires on the port under the dash and count the SES flashes to determine the code(s) but I am not for sure since I haven't had to yet. Arch- sound familar to you??

you have to ground out one of the lines, I'll see if I can find a manual with the info (can't remeber which ones since I have the reader)

stop at your local auto parts store and ask if they could check it, i get quite a few people everyday asking me to check thier systems out, i usally tell them what it comes up with then ask them if i should reset the code and suggest a local mechanic to check go over what the code comes back as.

do you have the old type scanner though?

yea we have I and II and there is another case there with one in it i forget what that ones called

the local ones here can't find any of their scan tools (out of 4 stores)

i went 2 autozone, and they said that it was possibly a glitch or something, but they said they couldnt do ne thing about it.
