NO it does not. The check engine light comes on when the ECU detects a problem with the emissions system and has nothing whatsoever to do with the outside temperature.
Cold weather can make your check engine light come on for various reasons. It could be caused by low fluids or a sensor.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
Could be low fluids or a electronic component in engine...
Clean the mass air inflow sensor. You may also have some engine sensors that are borderline working and won't cause a check engine code but are feeding the engine control computer the skewed readings. If you have a check engine light on- go repair that problem. LOL
The check engine light can be reset two ways. 1) If the problem resolves itself, the check engine light will reset itself after a certain amount of cold starts of the car on the on board computer system. 2) You need an OBD reader that has the reset check engine light capability.
It means that the oil pressure switch is showing low pressure.
Engine coolant temp sensor. I would check codes if you have a ECT code replace the sensor. does the check engine light come on with key on engine off, If it doesn't replace bulb. If the engine light works check fuel preasure,
Sometimes a check engine light comes on due to the millage on your car and the time period it took to rack up thoughs miles. This gets people to make sure that take it back to the dealer for a regular maintenance.
i have an 04 ion 2.2 and it does it if the fuel cap isn't tightened enough or in cold weather from both a bd ignition and a bad coolant temperature sensor...
If the check engine light is on with no codes, you have a wiring or computer issue.
Only in an emergency. The computer will turn on the check engine light if the temp never reaches normal. A cold running engine is also more prone to oil sludge problems.Only in an emergency.
