My "check engine light" seems to appear on my dashboard for no aparent
reason. I bring it into the dealer who turns it off. They give me no
legitimate reason for it. Is there a way for me to turn off the light
myself?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
The dealer should be doing more than turning off the light. There will
be one or more stored trouble codes when the light comes on, those
codes must be read to indicate where the problem may be, and the
proper troubleshooting procedures followed to correct it. Just turning
the light off by clearing the code does not fix anything.
If there is an Autozone near you they will read the code for free, at
least in states other than CA. Take it there next time the light
comes on. Get the specific code(s) in Pxxxx format and post them here
so we can help you further. Without the exact code any replies here
are pure speculation as there are literally hundreds of different
codes that can be set.
You can also purchase a scanner/code reader and do this yourself.
