Service Engine After Tune-up

CaptainEo · January 29th, 2010, 08:22 PM

Went to Tire Plus today and got an induction cleaner, alignment, and oil change.

Now the service engine light is nagging me. Will take it to Autozone tomorrow to get my codes, but any clue what could have set it off?

Did you get to watch them do the induction service? Usually there is a pressurized bottle that they put a liquid into, then they insert a nozzle in front of the throttle body and it releases a spray into it. But if they put it through the break booster, it could still be on from the car running with the break booster off in which you would only have to reset the codes. try disconnecting your battery for 10 minutes then reconnecting it. While your under the hood, you may wanna make sure they connected everything back up tightly (clamps and hoses particularly the air intake and break booster hose).

This is simple enough. Take it back to them. They made the light come on, tell them to fix it.

^ or that

Hopefully they don't blame it on you since you took it off their property before telling them about the light.

It will prolly go off in a day, I have had that happen in a few cars. The last was a code for egr and coue hours later light went off and been off for months.

Took it back to them. They said that when they did the induction all the gunk caused to relay to think it was clogged.

Thanks guys.
