Sometimes the codes will hang there until they are cleared from the computer. Disconnecting the negative cable from the battery will clear all codes held in the computer memory. It should work.If not, run up to your local autozone or whatever and they can clear it for you.Good luck

Disconnect the neg battery cable and wait 10 minutes, waiting this long will clear youre cars pcm's KAM ( keep alive memory ). It will loose memory of all codes and also some of the driving conditions it knows. After you do this, let it idle for a minute or so. You'll be all set.

Im such an idiot.... I did what you guys said and the light went away. Then it came back on while bringing my son to karate...DAM.. So I went to AUTOZONE they read the code and said I needed a new air intake temp. sensor, so I bought it. Went out to the car to put it in while still in the parking lot.... Opened the hood.... looked at where the old one is.....and I forgot to plug the DAM thing in when I reinstalled my air intake after, installing the coil packs.....OMFG!!!!!!.... I just pluged it back in and All set now...lol.... Thanks for all your help Casper....

Here is a tip from a old timer, I keep a detailed log of every thing I take off or disconnect when I'm doing a mod. Pictures if it is a major mod. Learned that from working on airplanes. My wife will usually take the notes for me. Saves a lot of time and not to mention fustration!

No problem glad everything turned out ok.


I have a large bucket i put all my parts and pieces in. I have a amazing memory and can put it back together without even thinking about it.

Here's another one from an old guy - go get one of the metal bowls with a magnetic base. Good place to put all the bolts you're taking off and they'll be there when you're ready to put them back on...
