yes if it is obd2 96 is obd II. If it is running with a loose gas cap, it will set a large evaporative leak code- po440 I believe.
No, only a problem that effects emissions will set the check engine light.
Mal function in the emission control system
If it is easy, your gas cap is not on correctly.
it looks like a transmission or the check engine light will come on
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.
my trac off light comes on in my 2002 cavalier then the car cuts off, but will start back up minutes later then the check engine light will come on and they both stay on
Check engine lights can come on for a number of reasons. If you didn't get the cable right or got a sparks when connecting or disconnecting that could most definitely cause problems with the check engine light or even blow the alternator fuse.
If you have trouble codes and the build is known to be good, but will not light up, you have a bad power feed to the bulb, or a bad ground to it.
no
There is no ETF light on a 1996 Chevy Cavalier. But there is an ETS light which stands for 'electronic traction system'. This light turns on where there is a problem with the brake system.
I have a 2002 caviler with the check engine light on .I have had it reset several time but will come back on within one week,
No, the check engine light does not come on because your gas is half way full. The check engine light will come on if there is a problem with the engine.
