Yes, but only for a short period of time. Sometimes nothing is wrong but other times there is. I would suggest that you get to a mechanic asap just in case.
To reset the check engine light unplug the battery for 30 minutes. If the issues still persists the light will still light up when reattached.
If the check engine light is flashing with the engine running that means that an engine cylinder misfire has been detected . You can still drive it in for repair , just avoid any rapid acceleration or deceleration because you can damage the catalytic converter
The transmission will not shift properly if you try to disable the odometer. The check engine light and abs light will also come on.
VTEC may or may not work when the check engine light is on. It depends on why the check engine light is one. If it is on because of a problem with the VTEC system, then, no, it will not work properly.
Take it to Autozone and have it read the codes if it is OBD2 (1996 and newer) if not to see if the check engine light is related to the speedometer problem disconnect the negative battery cable and hold the brake down for about a minute. This should turn the check engine light off. If it does drive it to see if the speedometer works. If it does they are related somehow, if it still doesn't then it must be two separate problems.
Go to Auto Zone and they will check you engine light for FREE... And go from there...
Yeah, it can. If something is wrong with your emmision control system, your car can still fail emmisons, but the check engine light doesn't have to be on.
i have a 2007 carolla that has been fully services and the check engine light is still on. there is nothing wrong with it.. How do I get it off?
If the check engine light is still on there is still a problem. When you fix the problem the light will go out by its self and the fault code will stay in the ecm as a stored code until it's reset.
Yes. The code should still be there.
Check the engine oil, sometimes when the oil is low the check engine light comes on while sitting still and goes out when you accelarate.
There is no reset button for the check engine light. It must be reset with an OBD scan tool.
