Engine light on, but throwing no codes?

shadow5403 · April 4th, 2008, 08:58 AM

Just as it says. My engine light came on yesterday, so i plugged my tuner in to get the code....and it said no codes available. So of course i just shut the light off, but what could have triggered the engine light, but not throw a code? The car feels the same, isnt acting weird, and runs great.

shadow5403 · April 4th, 2008, 12:17 PM

So, uh....anyone have an ideas here?

someone thought it would be funny to turn the light on as an april fools joke.

shadow5403 · April 4th, 2008, 12:41 PM

im not amused.....but not overly concerned since the car is acting fine.

get it erased, im a manager at autozone and people come in all the time with that same thing, after its erased, majority of the time it doesnt come back on, did you hit a bump or a curb or anything? sometimes shit like that makes the computer jump.

may be a phantom code...unplug the battery for a couple mins and plug it back in...see if the code goes away then/

could have been just a glitch in the ecu

shadow5403 · April 4th, 2008, 12:47 PM

i said in my first post i cleared the code with my tuner. No i didnt hit a bump or anything weird....it just popped on while i was cruising.

so its not no anymore? then it was just a phantom code like i said...something just went ah what the hell..bing light on...it happens alot on my OBD1 system..i just unplug the battery and reset the system and its good to go....if its running fine and no code popped up then why worry about it?

shadow5403 · April 4th, 2008, 01:58 PM
