go to a shop...or even a partsource store for that matter (since they do it no charge) and get them to check the OBD2 computer to find out the problem. Go from there. at least this way you will have an idea when u have to bring the car to a shop.

you need to pull a fuse in the hood fuse box to reset the light. I forgot which one though... for 1700 its bound to have problems.

the ecu fuse will reset the code. However IF there is a problem IT WILL come back

si_ponz

^ exactly. best bet is to get it checked out, let them reset it, see if the light comes back, if it comes back on, go to the shop and tell them the area of the problem since u know the code etc.

crazychinaman

cant you just tap in and see whats causing the problem with an obd2 reader?

Stugatts

yes you can do that ^^^ just an OBD2 reader is like 2 bills +

chris_v2

you can jump a service connector to get the codes for FREE.

do a search and you will find it.
